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

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?

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 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.

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.

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.

Quite honestly I was shocked to read this on Yahoo. She was so young!
I'm so tired of hearing about young actors and actresses dying.
I'm gonna have to go with what others said and guess that an eating disorder was a "part" of her dying so young.
I read that the police are investigating, so I'm sure an autopsy will be performed.

She was filming a movie and either got kicked off or quit like the first week of December.
I didn't dig her movies so much but she was a PERFECT Luann. It takes smarts to play a character that dumb even if it's just the voice.
