Yep, she died because she wasn’t well. What are the odds? And she could have been saved with a stint in hospital – but opted for self-medicated. And Community Acquired Pneumonia is not a reference to the community of Warner Brothers or Hollywood. It is:

“…a disease in which individuals who have not recently been hospitalized develop an infection of the lungs (pneumonia). CAP is a common illness and can affect people of all ages. CAP often causes problems like difficulty in breathing, fever, chest pains, and a cough. CAP occurs because the areas of the lung which absorb oxygen (alveoli) from the atmosphere become filled with fluid and cannot work effectively.”

The full autopsy report will be released in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, consider this fine journalism from the Daily Mail when Murphy was hot news:

Has Mr Brittany Murphy got something to hide?

Yep. She had pneumonia. Only, it was hidden from herself. And:

“Huge haul of prescription drugs found in Brittany Murphy’s bedroom is revealed”

* Husband desperately tried to revive unconscious star in the shower
* He now faces quiz from LA authorities

The Mail talked of “pharma parties” with teens getting off their faces on legal drugs.

And what about this from Dr Perez Hilton:

Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton hinted on his website there might have been some other cause behind Brittany’s sudden death today. He wrote: ‘Absolutely devastating. Especially because this comes as no surprise! We, and those who knew Brittany personally, saw this coming.’

If only the doctor could have diagnosed her. Shucks!
