Actress Brittany Murphy Dead, At age 32


Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- An autopsy on the body of actress Brittany Murphy was conducted Monday, the Los Angeles County coroner's office said.

    Authorities have said the 32-year-old appeared to have died Sunday of natural causes, and there was no sign of foul play or trauma."Naturally occurring diseases could be found in any person that could lead to death," said Capt. John Kades of the coroner's office.
    The office is looking into Murphy's medical history. A final report could take up to eight weeks. The cause of death will not be released until the toxicology report is concluded, said the coroner's office. That process can take weeks.
    Police also are conducting an investigation, which includes robbery and homicide detectives looking at what was in her home, said Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman Norma Eisenman. Murphy was pronounced dead at 10:04 a.m. PT (1:04 p.m. ET) Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles
