Actress Brittany Murphy tragically passed away after going into cardiac arrest at her home on December 20, 2009. Her death has been ruled accidental as a result of pneumonia along with prescription and over-the-counter drugs but preventable (read more details). There are still several facts to explain.

For instance why Brittany wasn’t followed by a doctor with her history of anemia and chronic menstrual pains? Now it was revealed that 11 days before her death, Brittany obtained a prescription for 120 Vicodin (hydrocodone) pills. The LA County Coroner’s Office is trying to find the doctor who prescribed these pills to know why they were prescribed in the first place.

Brittany was supposed to take up to 4 pills a day (4 x 11= 44) but 109 pills were missing from the bottle when she died. The actress’ husband Simon Monjack isn’t exactly cooperating with authorities in order to find the doctor. Simon told TMZ the pills had been prescribed to Brittany’s mom, Sharon Murphy, or himself and that they had actually found 73 pills from that prescription (the pills apparently weren’t all inside the same bottle) after the story was published. It sounds strange!

Simon later told RadarOnline, the pills were prescribed to Sharon because she suffers from neuropathy, a type of nerve damage that caused by chemotherapy and radiation treatments (Sharon is a cancer survivor) and she is actually considering to take legal action. These reports are allegedly an attempt to denigrate her daughter’s image and have also damaged her health. Simon said, “Sharon still has to have reconstructive surgery and is a very sick woman. This is so defamatory and ridiculous. It benefits no one when these lies are propagated.”
