Now that an investigator has gone through the home of Brittany Murphy, we get a pretty good idea of what killed her - a whole ton of prescription drugs. TMZ has the full story, but here are some notes:
Brittany Murphy "had been complaining of shortness of breath and severe abdominal pain" for 7 to 10 days prior to her death. According to the notes, Murphy went into the bathroom at around 7:30 AM Sunday and shut the door.
A half hour later Brittany's mother, Sharon Murphy, went to check on her daughter, opened the bathroom door and "discovered the decedent lying on the floor unresponsive." According to the notes, Sharon yelled for help. Brittany's husband, Simon Monjack, who was in bed, heard the screams and ran to the bathroom.
According to the notes, Sharon called 911 and Simon "attempted to revive the decedent by placing her in the shower and running the water."
The notes continue -- "The decedent remained unresponsive and purged her stomach contents prior to the arrival of the paramedics."
When the paramedics arrived, Brittany was "without signs of life."

And here are some of the prescriptions she had:
According to the notes, the medications included Topamax (anti-seizure meds also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins.
Brittany was eating more pills than I eat regular food. Granted, I'm on a steady diet of Apple Jacks for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but it's still probably not a great idea. Anyway, it's tragic and it sucks, but take my advice and don't combine every prescription drug ever manufactured. There, I just saved several lives.
On another note, she did leave a will and left everything to her mother because she did it before getting married. Brittany's Murphy's net worth isn't too shabby either.
