Brittany Murphy, the beloved actress known for her roles in Clueless, 8 Mile, and Girl, Interrupted, tragically passed away at the age of 32 in December 2009. Even though the official cause of her death was ruled as natural, with links to pneumonia, anemia, and multiple drug intoxication, her sudden death shocked the world, leaving behind unanswered questions and stirring up numerous theories.
The fact that her husband, Simon Monjack, also passed away under mysterious circumstances just five months later only fueled the speculation and theories, leaving a lot of questions unanswered.
Why Brittany Murphy’s Father Thinks She Was Murdered
Brittany’s father, Angelo Bertolotti, has long held the belief that his daughter did not die from natural causes. In interviews and statements made following her death, Bertolotti has suggested that it could be a case of foul play and that, perhaps, she was poisoned.
Despite the L.A. County Coroner ruling that Brittany’s cause of death was “acute pneumonia”, Bertolotti has publicly questioned the toxicology report. He claims that the coroner’s report failed to explain the abnormalities discovered in her body. He believes that toxic substances could have contributed to her declining health in the weeks before her death.
In 2013, Bertolotti took the investigation into his own hands by hiring a private lab to conduct independent toxicology tests. Those tests yielded traces of heavy metals like Barium, which he believes was used in the poisoning attempt. Even though the case has been officially closed, to this day, he maintains that his daughter was murdered.
Did Brittany Murphy Have Any Relationship With Diddy?
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the famed rapper and music mogul, has been linked to this as well. This theory gained traction after various reports and rumors linked her to the music industry and prominent figures like Diddy. However, no credible evidence has been made public to substantiate these claims.
Some conspiracy theorists suggest that Diddy could have been connected to the mysterious circumstances of her death. However, there exists no verified relationship between Murphy and Diddy.
Brittany Murphy’s Relationship with Ashton Kutcher
Brittany Murphy’s relationship with actor Ashton Kutcher was one of the more notable aspects of her personal life. They met on the set of the romantic comedy Just Married (2003), where their reel romance became real.
While their romance was brief, it was heavily publicized. The couple reportedly dated for several months before parting ways. Their relationship was a hot topic in the media at the time, but neither of them seemed to discuss it publicly for long.
Kutcher has described her as “fun”, “wonderful”, and said she had a unique, positive energy that made everyone around her smile. Even though things didn’t work out, they remained good friends, with Kutcher being the several who expressed their grief when Murphy passed away.
The ongoing mystery
Questions about her sudden death—and the theories that continue to swirl around it—keep her story alive and have guaranteed her a spot in the list of mysteries that shook the world.
Some believe her passing was a tragic accident, while others, like her father, insist there was foul play involved. The added mystery of her husband’s death only deepens the questions surrounding her demise.
Brittany Murphy’s legacy as an actress remains cherished, but she will be remembered for not only what she did, but also the circumstances under which she left this world.
