The
Brittany Murphy Conspiracy Theories
What happened to Brittany Murphy? On
December 20, 2009, the actress fell lifeless into her mother’s arms, in which
Sharron, her mother, called 911 with concern. “Brittany was taking a cocktail
of anti-depressants, anxiety, prescription drugs and cough medicine” (Daily
Mail.com). “The coroner diagnosed her with being anemic and having had
pneumonia, which was caused by the cough medicine and her not coughing up all
the phlegm in her lungs” (Bustle.com). They also found heavy metals in her
blood, hair and tissue samples. These types of metals can also be found in rat
poison. Several theories and unusual factors play into Murphy’s death.
1.Did
Brittany Murphy’s mother kill her?
2.
Was her death actually an accident?
3.
Was her death caused by her drug addiction?
Let’s further examine Brittany Murphy, the
conspiracy theories of her death, and the likely hood that her own mother,
Sharron Murphy, murdered her.
Character Analysis Brittany Murphy was a well-known actress. “Born November 10, 1977, in Atlanta, Georgia” (Brittany Murphy Biography). Parents Angelo Bertoletti and Sharron Murphy divorced while she was a child. Brittany had begun acting at a young age with her mother’s help, moving her to Manhattan as well as Los Angles to further her acting opportunities. (1) Murphy was put in “Verne Fowler's School of Dance and Theater in Colonia, New Jersey, when she was five years old.(1) It was there that Murphy took dance and voice lessons until she was in her early teens” (1).
Brittany began getting a lot of acting jobs in
popular television shows and movies. She starred in over fifty movies and
television shows; just a few would be: Boy Meets World, Clueless, Happy Feet,
King of the Hill, Sister Sister and 8 Mile (Brittany Murphy IMDB.com). As her
acting career shot off, she became obsessed with her self-image, losing an odd
amount of weight; denying rumors of anorexia and drug abuse. “In 2002, after
Murphy revealed a radically slimmed-down silhouette in the film Spun – a departure
from the rounder figure that fans remembered from her breakout 1994 film, Clueless – tabloids linked her weight
loss to cocaine”(Garcia etal). “The same year, while promoting Sin City, she
fought back against reports saying she had an eating disorder and she had never
touched nor seen cocaine” (1). “"A lot of her problems were due to poor
self-image. She wore extraordinary amounts of makeup, tons of fake eyelashes,
got her teeth capped, dyed her hair blonde, lost weight – she wanted to be a
beauty. She didn't want to be the fat girl from Clueless. She didn't eat a lot.
She would drink copious amounts of coffee" (1).
Conspiracy Descriptions
(Main Idea and Details with Survey Results).In the mysterious death of Brittany Murphy, everyone was left in the dark on what really happened, but three theories come into play. However, both involve two people she was the closest to: Sharron Murphy (mother) and Simon Monjack (late husband).
The first conspiracy
theory proposes that her mother Sharron Murphy poisoned her daughter for the
money and to be rid of her daughter and antagonist husband Simon Monjack.
Angelo Bertolotti, Brittany’s biological father, whom she wasn’t close to,
began to suspect something wasn’t right, with the way things ended for his
daughter. “After conducting his own independent toxicology study last year, the
results showed that Brittany had over 10 heavy metals in her system — it was
consistent with a dose of rat poison. In an interview with Examiner, Bertolotti
began to suspect something else” (Figueroa).
Bertolotti made bold accusations and never held back, in his interview
with the Examiner he goes to say:
Sharon
Murphy should be interviewed and investigated, first and foremost. Let her
explain why she had my daughter execute a will, leaving everything to her
mother and specifically excluding Simon. Let Sharon explain why she decided to
do this right after Brittany and Simon told her of their plan to move to New
York and have a baby. Let Sharon clarify how she was planning to support herself
for the first time in decades, once Brittany moved away. Let her talk about
auctioning off Brittany’s underwear, passport, SAG card and clothes. There are
many unanswered questions that have to be addressed. Out of three people living
together in the same house, only one survives and benefits financially.
(Figueroa)
The
second theory suggests that Brittany’s own husband Simon Monjack was the cause
of Brittany Murphy’s death:
In
Alex Ben Block’s article about the deaths of Monjack and Murphy, Alex — who was
supposedly a close friend of Brittany’s — clearly targets Monjack as the source
of the deaths. Block’s article is full of conjecture, though, and is written,
at best, as merely hearsay and contains little to no actual evidence of Monjack
having a hand in the unfortunate deaths:
It
is impossible to know if Brittany might still be alive had Simon not come
along. However, it seems obvious that he brought out her worst traits and
contributed to an atmosphere that was ultimately deadly to her. Rex Beaber, a
L.A. clinical psychologist and attorney, didn’t know Simon but says after
hearing his story that his behavior was consistent with a sociopathic
personality disorder. He called what happened to Brittany “an age-old story you
see commonly with people who meet narcissistic personalities and people who are
sociopathic. They have a kind of blood instinct for the weakness of people
around them. In his way, Simon did love her, but that was part of his sickness.
He was mentally ill and couldn’t help preying on her at a time when she was
highly susceptible to his oily charm, false promises and outright lies
(Figueroa etal).
The third theory is
that it may have been toxic mold that killed Brittany Murphy. Their house did
indeed have toxic mold:
When
the coroner was investigating the causes of Brittany Murphy’s death, possible
mold contamination came into question, but here’s when things get a little
weird. The coroner, Ed Winter, said that he spoke with both Simon Monjack and
Sharon Murphy about mold in the home they shared. Sharon Murphy, in later
interviews, suggested that Winter never approached them about a mold issue…
Yet,
in the summer of 2011, Sharon claims that she had found mold in the home when
she was trying to sell the property. She claimed that the mold was responsible
for the death of Brittany and Simon, and filed a lawsuit against the builders
of the home (Figueroa).
Which theory rings true
to your senses: is it the toxic mold, was it her husband, or could it have been
her mother?
A survey of twenty people
revealed that 70% agreed that the most likely scenario is that Sharron Murphy
indeed was the cause of actress, Brittany Murphy’s early death. However, there
are no current facts proving this theory to true. But, in due time, we will all
come to know what had actually happened to Brittany Murphy on December 20,
2009.After examining the autopsy reports for Brittany Murphy, two conspiracies theories are left to ponder:
1. Did Sharron Murphy poison her daughter?
2. Did Simon Monjack kill his late
wife?
3. Was her death caused by the toxic mold
in her home?
Even today, six years
after the talented beautiful, young Hollywood actress died, the unsolved
mystery death continues to baffle family, fans, friends and investigators.
However, it’s likely that her mother knows what really happened to Brittany
Murphy.
