TMZ: Actress Brittany Murphy dies overnight in Los Angeles

Her "I'll never te-ell" line in the trailer for some bad Michael Douglas movie annoyed me to no end when it was in rotation a couple of years ago.

I am a big fan of her as Luanne in KotH, though, and she was really good in an underrated film called "Freeway" with R. Witherspoon and K. Sutherland.

The local news just reported that they have ruled the death to be from natural causes.

A pretty awful movie:

She was good in it. 'Couldn't save it, but 'seemed like she was the only one making an effort.

They ruled out "foul play" (violent murder). No bruising.

Toxicology tests will take awhile.

Wow...someone dies and all of sudden people start to speculate on her death and/or attribute all sorts of causes. How would you like it if you died and we all started talking about "yeah, he was a lardball, bound to happen what with him sitting at his comp in the basement all day"?

Oh, I'd better get off my lardarse now!

Brittany Murphy was very ill in the hours before she went into cardiac arrest and died, sources tell TMZ.

We're told Murphy was taking prescription meds for flu-like symptoms she had been experiencing for several days. We're told Murphy began vomiting early Sunday morning and told family members she was feeling very ill.

Sources say various prescriptions were found in the home -- written for Brittany Murphy, husband Simon Monjack, and Brittany's mom. One source says, "There were a lot ... a lot of prescriptions in the house."

Law enforcement sources tell us Murphy collapsed in the bathroom and somehow ended up in the shower ... there was, we're told, a significant amount of vomit in the immediate area.

We're also told authorities did not find illegal drugs in the house, but Murphy was definitely taking various prescription meds.

Sources say her condition and the meds could have triggered a heart attack, but it's too early to know. An autopsy will be performed Monday or Tuesday. We reported earlier Monjack did not want an autopsy but ultimately it's the Coroner's call.

As we first reported, Brittany Murphy's mother told paramedics her daughter suffered from diabetes. We're told it was type 2 diabetes and people involved in the case doubt her condition caused her death.
