WVU alpha phi;Sad news, I liked her in Just Married. I'm going with cocaine as the cause of death on this one.

This is so sad. I liked her in both Just Married and Clueless. I would also think that drugs may have played a part in her death.

However, 2009 has to be the worst year for Hollywood in regards to losing so many talented actors/actresses and entertainers. Would anyone else agree?

I had no idea what she looked like these days until I saw this. Poor thing.

Other than Uptown Girls, I was never a huge fan of hers - but she was still much to young to die!

After looking at the slide show, I'm guessing bulemia with or without cocaine. It's still surreal, how many young people are passing away.

I saw her recently in a very bad made-for-tv disaster movie (also starred Eric LaSAlle from ER), and she looked very thin and sickly to me. I also read that she was either fired or left a film production filming in Puerto Rico at the beginning of the month (rumored behavioral conflicts).

Whatever the reason or her (presumed or lack of) talents or success, dying at 32 is tragic.

I agree with your mother. Both Anorexia and Bulimia can cause heart problems and any organ problems.

She's been rumored to have suffered from an eating disorder for a long time.

If she did, it's often a combination of the two and takes a serious toll on the heart. I've lost a friend far too young, to a heart attack, in the same situation - and my prayers go out to her family right now.

So sad to see someone so young pass away.

There was something on TMZ (I think?) where her mom said Brittnay suffered from diabetes?

I think I remember seeing something within the past month or so about her being ridiculously difficult on set and possibly getting kicked off a movie because of it. I had also heard drug rumors.

I absolutely loved her in Clueless and Drop Dead Gorgeous.

How sad.

As far as causes, if she had an eating disorder like anorexia, it could easily have led to a cardiac arrest.

Wow, so young, how terrible!

Ditto what OTW's mom said. I'm always pretty clueless about celebrities so I had no idea about her having an eating disorder. I was pretty shocked when I saw that picture^^^

I'm really saddened by this. I really liked her. There was such a vulnerable quality about her. Her poor family. Sad.

Rest in peace, Brittany.

I hate to say "most actresses", but would need to say many actresses have eating disorders.

I was reading an article today on Emily Blunt and she said that during the filming of Devil Wears Prada, that she and Anne Hathaway were prohibited from eating on the set because their characters had to be thin. We all hear of peer pressure but that is rediculous.
