Last week would have been Brittany Murphy's 36th birthday. Instead she died back in 2008 of some never really explained death. In the past week though there have been reports that she may have died from rat poison and her husband of the same thing just five months later. A lab report says that Brittany died with elevated levels of certain toxins which were discovered after examining her hair. The toxins were above WHO guidelines and the report then says that if Brittany didn't ingest the things to cause the increase in toxins then someone else must have done it and then her death was murder. The fact that her husband died the same way a few months later suggests there was something strange going on which was not just the mold that was listed as a cause of death.
The problem is that both of them were loaded down with all kinds of drugs and medications which were also toxic and were not in good physical shape to begin with. The police never followed up on this and Brittany's hair was tested in the investigation. I would be the first person to jump on the Brittany death train conspiracy here and would always have blamed her husband if he had not died shortly after. Then the blame light starts looking at Brittany's mom but detectives were looking hard at her for a long time and couldn't find anything.
What I think is more likely is that Brittany's dad is writing a book and wants people to buy it. I think what he should focus on instead is why Brittany married Simon Monjack. That is one of life's great mysteries.
Rat poison
ReplyDeleteIs that something dealers use to cut drugs? (No idea)
I still think the mom is shady as hell.
I think her passing was sad, but was under the impression that they did a full autopsy on her when she passed. Would't they have tested for poison while they were in investigating her husband for foul play?
ReplyDeleteHer mom did it cause she was having an affair. her husband was going to tell so she killed him to
ReplyDeleteScenario 2: Het husband killed her then killed himself after guilt
3: Hollywood killed her cause she knew too much
DUN DUN
I thought the same for scenario 2 and 3. 1 is a humdinnger though. So do you mean the mom was having the affair or Brittany was having the affair.
DeleteThe whole thing is very shady.
ReplyDeleteThe mother lived with them, and despite dealing with cancer, she's the only one still standing. Strange indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I don't think the mother was responsible, is because Brittany was her meal ticket, so it wouldn't make sense to off her.
Something in their bedroom, maybe?
Surfer - unless there was insurance...
DeleteDUN
ReplyDeleteyou left out a dun :(
Cleo, I thought they just blamed the mold? Didn't she have flu-like symptoms or something, according to her mom?
Or maybe it was Jay-Z.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of her.
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteThat whole scenario creeps me out
ReplyDeleteI would be on board with that Surfer, if her mom wasn't caught in bed with her husband about a month or so after she died.
ReplyDeleteThen he died of the same 'mysterious illness'.
Why didn't it affect mom?
He was obviously her beneficiary, who knows what mom was trying to get from him with the whole 'in bed' thing.
It's conspiracy day! :)
Why don't I remember the husband dying?
ReplyDeleteBacon Ranch - I remember that talk, but who actually "caught" them in bed? Wasn't that just gossip?
ReplyDelete@Surfer, no she told investigators she did it.

This answers my question to Dragon. How odd!! Monjack and the mom.. this has a million shades of ewww all over it.
Delete@Bacon, thanks for the link. I can't believe that, in addition to sleeping with her dead daughter's husband, she also took his last name (on the rx bottles). That's all kinds of disturbing.
ReplyDeleteThe mom seems like a wack job, and it is very interesting that she was not affected by the mold.
ReplyDeleteShady indeed.
Interesting link Bacon.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it's odd (to say the least) and beyond gross, it doesn't mean that they were actually shtupping.
What an awful image that is. Grrrr.
I blame the Illuminati...FTW
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, it appears to be a sad and strange situation that will more than likely never get solved. Did the mom become the beni since the husband passed as well?
Monjack must have had a gold plated penis. He pulled Brittany and the mother? Mind boggling. .
ReplyDeleteI don't think they were killed. It seems like the dad is trying to make a quick buck. He also is apparently trying to "clear" her name, since she is seen as a drug addict. I still remember watching the VMA's and wondering what the hell happened to her. It was right after 8 Mile, she was scary skinny, and clearly high. It's a shame that she was born with these assholes as her parents.
ReplyDeletenot to be gauche but why the fuck does any one care?
ReplyDeleteshe was a goddamn meth addict. rat poison is a common additive in meth.
brittany was a hot mess in life and not particularly talented. did anyone see ramen girl? what a turd of a movie.
let the girl rest in peace.
@P. That was a great movie, you're the only turd in this situation.
DeleteThat mold stuff can kill you though over long term exposure and people on drugs have weakened immune systems.
ReplyDeleteI knew of someone who bought a house turned out to be mold infested with the more toxic form of mold and because he had an allergy to mold in the first pace, the exposure made him more susceptible and he became very ill and died.
Now if you are doing drugs would you know you actually were sick from exposure?
So sad, she was so young and beautiful. Rude to say she wasn't talented when she def had some great roles in. It is strange she got involved with this grifter type of guy. She was engaged two times before to very successful types of guys. To bad she didn't stay with one of them instead, because it seems this guy started her downward spiral that led to her death. RIP Brittany
ReplyDeleteRat poison, the southern girls secret weapon. Called a cup of "shut the fuck up". Ingested slowly you cannot taste it but it will eventually build up and kill you so it looks like a heart attack.
ReplyDeleteLoads of women who have been abused use it so they can just get away from their abusers (daddy,husband)and no doubt loads of innocent men get dropped by women wanting their insurance money.
Is it a typical ingredient in meth? Lotta shit in there, rat poison, I do not believe, happens to be one. But then I've never made a batch of meth and Breaking Bad didn't teach me anything.
Never did meth but ha a friend who it ruined. During that experience we found out that his meth had been cut with both ray poisen and battery acid . So apparently they just throw in a bunch of shit that can kill you and say fuck it , good luck bitch
ReplyDeleteI always thought the rat poison myth was created by pimps and dealers so people wouldn't try anyone's stuff besides theirs. Who the hell would cut their drugs w/ rat poison? You want to facilitate addiction to maximize profits, not kill off clientele. Bad enough there is so much baby laxative in coke that the shit houses in bars get blowed the fuck up constantly.
ReplyDeletefor what it's worth:
ReplyDeleteThe production of street meth uses many dangerous chemicals. Since the production of the drug is not under standardization, most of the producers use other products such as strychnine. They cut the drug with these other products to increase their sale productions, a rather selfish and dangerous act. Strychnine is an alkaloid extracted from the seeds of the Indian tree Strychnos nux vomica. Although it was used for hundreds of years in tonics for circulatory, respiratory and digestive disorders, it has no known medical use today. Instead, it is only used as an animal poison. Strychnine poisoning in humans is very uncommon and can be treated effectively upon moderate exposure. Severe strychnine exposure, however, causes continuous muscle spasms and convulsions. The rash could have developed as an allergic response to the poison or any other chemical present in the methamphetamine. Street drugs are ruthlessly produced and should be viewed as a snakebite, dangerous, painful and potentially deadly. The drug should be avoided altogether since it poses no beneficial outcome to your body.
She was a known drug addict. If you found high levels of rat poison it's quite possible that the sh*t she was getting was cut with it. No real surprise here.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought the two deaths were fishy. Same with Anna Nicole and her son.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think that the whole moldy house thing has already been established. Her death was a shocking and sad thing, but I do not think she was murdered.
ReplyDeleteI thought battery acid in meth as a main ingredient was common knowledge....all meth has a lot of it does it not? There are no natural ingredients in meth whatsoever
ReplyDeleteBesides she was also a know crack user....and I strongly disagree she was not unbelievably talented. She was a triple threat--singer actress dancer at one point. She had a great singing voice and was excellent in dramas like 8 MIle and Girl Interrupted. She was also good in goofy films like Clueless and Uptown Girls (I saw it once babysitting my niece --guilty little gem of pleasure)
ReplyDeleteYou aren't snorting battery acid, you are snorting a product that is the result of battery acid having a chemical reaction with another substance. Like you can't drink hydrogen or oxygen, but you can drink H20.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree wit Enty on why Brittany married Simon Monjack is one of life's biggest mysteries.
ReplyDeleteHer mom is strange, something strange went on there. I have heard AIDS rumors about her death before. I tend to believe that or drugs killed them.
I liked most of Brittany's movies. She is missed.
@eros meant having an affair with her husband. Wasn't she caught in his bed the day he died according to tmz
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification, kind sir. I hadn't heard any of the adultery but ohmy my my, it's quite scandalous and shocking. @ Real dragon
DeleteShe married Monjack because Daddy was one of the MANY issues the broad had.
ReplyDeleteDon't be silly. Murphy and her husband were junkies. No one conspires to murder junkies. Especially a has been actress. No one cares.
ReplyDeleteGo on IMDB. The mom is selling all her things!
ReplyDeleteactually i thought i had read that she had left everything to her mom so it would be the other way around. that gross guy was trying to stay close to her mom
ReplyDeleteCount being Walter White today!
ReplyDeleteSmoking Crack = using Chore Boy as a filter. I can't find any info on if this would put poisons in your system. Just an idea.
ReplyDeleteHighly suspicious of Mommy....
ReplyDeleteI always figured the Mom did it. Just like that turd, what was his name? Killed off Anna Nicoles son, and helped her kill herself.
