    I was hoping that the couple reads Gawker and included made up famous relatives solely to run up their points in Altarcations. Also I will totally see that Rome movie.

    Interesting question -- is there a right to deny a spouse an autposy when there criminal issues are suspected?

    @Poodle_Heart: generally speaking, if a person dies unexpectedly outside of a hospital or under unusual (or suspicious circumstances) there is an autopsy. I don't believe it is up to the family in those situations. Local laws and celebrity/monetary influence may vary.

    @Poodle_Heart: It's the coroner who makes the call on an autopsy. He can't be overruled, either, as far as I know (although who knows what happens if there's a religious constraint on autopsies).

    Murphy just got fired from the set of her most recent film on Nov. 30 for "erratic behavior." Rachel Lefevre (from Twilight) reportedly took over. And Monjack himself was reported to be on the verge of death last month. This is all gossip from tabloid sites, but it seems awfully relevant if it is true.

    My guess is that Brittany was taking drugs. That's probably why he doesn't want an autopsy - because he doesn't want people to know she was snorting or shooting or smoking or whatever.

    @cassandra: I mean, young, healthy people don't die of "cardiac arrest" unless it's drugs, usually. River Phoenix suffered cardiac arrest from an overdoese.

    Isn't it bad form to be taking photos of someone who has just left the hospital where his wife died, "cloudy" circumstances, or not?

    I don't think you can claim she "struggled" with drugs. Usually that word is reserved for something you fight against.

    In film school I always imagined I'd base a film on my mother one day and cast Murphy in the main role. There was a strong resemblance and her best roles were along those unhinged-yet-sympathetic-and-humorous lines. I was going to help her win that Oscar, oh yes I was.

    And this is when a celebrity death is the most emotional: when that star is caught up in your delusional narcissistic fantasies.

    This isn't on the "I used to have pictures of her all over my wall, and doodle Mr. Brittany Murphey on my notebooks" level, but I got a little sad.

    I hate to hear about people losing loved ones at such a young age and this happening during the holidays makes it even worse. Her poor mother. It is being reported that she is the one who found the body. So sad.

    Nothing against Kristen (well, except Dax Shepard, I mean really Kristen?), but here's another trailer that's way too long and interchangeable every other C-grade rom com (People fall down! Lots of things break! A wedding singing and dancing scene! Good looking guy has fat friend!...ugh--I do like you on SNL though, Bobby.) So I've actually got to sit through Avatar for some originality?

    No matter what happened here, expect the gossip industry to turn its focus onto her husband, Simon Monjack, but fast. Been reading old newspaper articles, etc. and his past shadiness is gonna haunt whatever investigation there is into this death.
