same people that say that Lil Wayne is dead or that Miley Cyrus is dead? Sadly not. Brittany Murphy's death is something that is very

real, and is touching to the core. The actress who is credited for films such as "8 Mile", "Just Married", and "Sin City" as well as for being the voice of Luann on "King of the Hill" passed away 5 days before Christmas at the age of 32.

However, the news was broadcast on many major media outlets including CNN and Fox News. Once you see reports about celebrity deaths on mainstream media outlets, you can be almost positive that they aren't hoaxes.

Ashton Kutcher and other Hollywood stars are Tweeting about Brittany Murphy's untimely death. She is said to have had movies in post-production that are due out next year. She was such a beautiful young woman and had a very promising career.

Murphy got her first break in the 1995 film "Clueless" co-starring with Alicia Silverstone. Her first acting gig on TV was in 1991 on Murphy Brown. Her first feature film was "Family Prayers" in 1993. She also worked besides powerful celebrities such as Angelina Jolie ("Girl Interrupted") and rapper Eminem ("8 Mile").

There is a lot of speculation about Brittany Murphy's death. There are some reports surfacing that indicate that the actress may have had a history of diabetes. Some speculate that she was on drugs, while others have a feeling she was anorexic.

Only an autopsy will give us concrete evidence as to what happened to the actress. Her husband has expressed that he does not want to have one performed, although it's almost certain that the authorities will have one performed.
