The official cause of death for late actress Brittany Murphy was released late yesterday.

According to the coroner’s report, the actress, who died suddenly at the end of December, died from Pneumonia, iron deficiency anemia, and multiple drug intoxication.

Via TMZ:

The L.A. County Coroner concludes on the subject of “How injury occurred” — “Drug intake.”

What makes this even more disturbing is that this could have been a preventable and treatable issue.

“L.A. County Coroner officials believe Brittany’s condition was “treatable” but no one took her to the hospital in time. As for the multiple drugs found in her system, we’re told they were both prescription, including medicine for cramps, and over-the-counter medications, including cough syrup. Our sources say the drugs “pushed her over the line” but the underlying problems were the pneumonia and anemia.”

Lets hope we learn from this.
