The sudden death of Brittany Murphy at the young age of 32 in 2009 shook the world and has since led to ongoing speculation about the circumstances surrounding her passing.
Official reports from the coroner indicated that pneumonia was cited as the primary cause of the actress’s death, alongside iron-deficiency anemia and the presence of multiple drugs in her system as contributing factors.

While appearing on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in April 2009, eight months before her untimely demise, the Uptown Girls star’s behavior seemed a bit erratic.
‘Ever watch the late Brittany Murphy on Craig Ferguson?’ one Reddit user asked in a thread about worst late night interviews. ‘Murphy seemed to be on some substance and for some inexplicable reason spoke in a British accent.’
Others pointed out she ‘seems so different here’ and ‘dropped the accent a few times’ during her chat with Ferguson.

While on the swing, Murphy laughed uncontrollably and seemed to have trouble focusing.
When asked if she drinks on Saint Patrick’s Day, Murphy told the host: ‘Nope, nope, no, look at me normally! I don’t need that. I don’t like the way it makes me feel. I like to stay grounded like this.’
‘This is grounded,’ he asked, which made her laugh.

She later moved on to film roles, famously playing Tai in the 1995 hit Clueless.
She also starred in a number of successful films, including Drop Dead Gorgeous, Cherry Falls, and 8 Mile.
