The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office has verified the cause of death of young actress Brittany Murphy to be a combination of pneumonia and prescription medication. This fits with the claims the Brittany’s husband, Simon Monjack, and mother made immediately following her death, claiming she wasn’t feeling well and presented flu-like symptoms in the days leading up to her death.

According to theguardian.co.uk another contributing factor in her death was anemia, an iron deficiency. Following the long-awaited toxicology report, the LA County Coroner’s Office has ruled the death an accident.

RadarOnline.com claims to have exclusive knowledge of the medications Brittany had consumed, obtained from a source that leaked the information. The toxicology report allegedly found the following medications:

Klonopin (for anxiety), Carbamazepine  (diabetic symptoms), Ativan (anxiety), Vicoprofen (pain killer), Hydrocodone (pain killer), Topamax (anti-seizure drug, also taken to prevent migraines) and many more.

Brittany died on December 20, 2009. Her mother called paramedics after she found her daughter unresponsive in the shower. She was pronounced dead on arrival at a Los Angeles hospital.
