Upon initial examination, the coroner is declaring Brittany Murphy’s death to be from natural causes for now. Further tests and what not will be the end all to that mystery after a few weeks.
As it stands, it seems she may have had a heart condition.
In a 2001 interview she was asked if she took any drugs for her role in Spun and she replied that she couldn’t due to a heart condition she’s had since a child.
Cripes.
That’s that. Just wanted to update you for now.

(Psst: Someone should tell TV Guide how to spell her Brittany’s name. “Britney’s Murphy’s sudden death appears to be from natural causes, but police will continue to investigate.“ Duh.)
