CELEBRITY AUTOPSIES WITH DISTURBING DISCOVERIES

BRITTANY MURPHY

After a white-hot career in the mid-1990s and early 2000s with big roles in "Clueless," "Girl, Interrupted," and "8 Mile," Brittany Murphy's career cooled off considerably. Murphy died at age 32 in December 2009, according to The Guardian. What's shocking was what killed Murphy was something relatively mundane and often preventable: pneumonia. In February 2010, according to Today, a coroner's report cited menstrual flow that triggered a serious case of anemia (an iron deficiency), which left Murphy in such a weak and immunocompromised state that her body wasn't able to fight off the viral infection. "This was not something that she just got a day or so before," retired medical examiner Dr. Lisa Scheinin said in "What Happened, Brittany Murphy?" (via Us Weekly)."She was walking around with this for some time." Four years after Murphy's death, her father, Angelo Bertolotti asked for a lab report to be conducted on his daughter's remains. Technicians discovered an abnormally high presence of heavy metals in a hair sample, according to ABC News. "I have a feeling that there was a definite murder situation here," Bertolotti worked out on "Good Morning America." "It's poison, yes, I know that."
