Brittany Murphy -- Frantic Rescue Effort


Posted Dec 22nd 2009 12:07AM by TMZ Staff
Brittany Murphy's
husband and mother made a frantic attempt to revive her before
paramedics arrived ... this according to notes written by an
investigator from the L.A. County Coroner's office. And, there were a
shocking number of strong prescription meds on Brittany's nightstand.

TMZ has reviewed the documents, written by Investigator Blacklock.
According to his notes, Brittany Murphy "had been complaining of
shortness of breath and severe abdominal pain" for 7 to 10 days prior
to her death. According to the notes, Murphy went into the bathroom at
around 7:30 AM Sunday and shut the door.

A half hour later Brittany's mother, Sharon Murphy,
went to check on her daughter, opened the bathroom door and "discovered
the decedent lying on the floor unresponsive." According to the notes,
Sharon yelled for help. Brittany's husband, Simon Monjack, who was in bed, heard the screams and ran to the bathroom.

According
to the notes, Sharon called 911 and Simon "attempted to revive the
decedent by placing her in the shower and running the water."

The
notes continue -- "The decedent remained unresponsive and purged her
stomach contents prior to the arrival of the paramedics."

When the paramedics arrived, Brittany was "without signs of life."

Paramedics
moved Brittany from the bathroom to the master bedroom, where they
found a slew of prescription drugs -- "A check of the nightstands
revealed large amounts of prescription medication in the decedent's
name. Also noted were numerous empty prescription medication bottles in
the decedent's husband's name, the decedent's mother's name and
unidentified third party names."

According to the notes, the medications included Topamax (anti-seizure meds also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins.

The notes say, "No alcohol containers, paraphernalia or illegal drugs were discovered."

According
to the notes, "The night prior to her death, the decedent had consumed
some noodles, leftover Thai food, Gatorade, water and tea with lemon."

The
notes also say Brittany had a history of hypoglycemia and was
hospitalized in April 2009 for low blood sugar while on location in
Oregon."

Monjack told the investigator during the 7 to 10 days
prior to her death, Brittany complained of shortness of breath and
severe abdominal pains but he was not overly alarmed because "she often
suffered from severe menstrual pains."

The investigator spoke with police at the scene, who told him "foul play is not suspected."

Being thin as a pole and mixing drugs eqauls a receipe for disaster.  Maybe some good will come out of this and will make other people think twice before following in her path.
