Brittany Murphy, Dysautonomia (Pots syndrome), Her Brother


Actress Britney Murphy went into cardiac arrest and died December 20th 2009. Many speculate that she died of a prescription overdose because of the toxicology reports. Mainly because of the prescriptions found in the home, however I’m not so convinced, the drugs in her system were all over the counter drugs except for one, so she would have only had one prescription. Her Husband who also died from heart failure not long after her death claimed the other prescriptions were for his severe heart condition.
She had a severe case of pneumonia and the drugs found inside he could also just be helping her get over that.
There just isn’t something right about claiming it was an overdose. Her family members are determined to get the word out and spread awareness of what they believe contributed to her death.
Her Grandmother, Aunt, and half brother all suffer from Dysautonomia and P.O.T. syndrome. Although she was never diagnosed they say she displayed many of the same symptoms, including high heart rate, and extreme weight loss in a short period of time. Many claim she had anorexia but others believe it could have just been because her heart was overworked, or maybe a bit of both.
The following is a video of her brother Jeff who has suffered from Dysautonomia for years as he talks about Britney and P.O.T syndrome. The hope is to help spread awareness and open the eyes of medical professionals and the public on the severity of the disease.
