Brittany Murphy dies after cardiac arrest: media report
TMZ reports that actress Brittany Murphy, 32, died early Sunday morning after she went into full cardiac arrest and could not be revived:
A 911 call was made at 8:00 AM from a home in Los Angeles that is listed as belonging to her husband, Simon Monjack, the Los Angeles City Fire Department tells TMZ.
Murphy's mom discovered her unconscious in the shower, TMZ says. Paramedics arrived at the scene and determined Murphy was in full cardiac arrest, and administered CPR. They continued CPR en route to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, several miles away, and Murphy was unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The L.A. County Coroner is picking up Murphy's body from Cedars later today and will launch an investigation, TMZ reports.
Murphy starred in such films as "Clueless," "8 Mile," and "Don't Say a Word."
