Actress Brittany Murphy, 32, died this morning from what is being called cardiac arrest. Reports the New York Daily News…

The troubled starlet went into full cardiac arrest early Sunday and could not be revived, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

It was her beloved mom who discovered her unconscious in the shower, according to the Web site TMZ. When paramedics arrived just after 8 a.m., they immediately began administering CPR and rushed her to nearby Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Prior to her death she was already inside a cloud of strangeness in recent months…

Last month, Murphy’s husband of two years, Simon Monjack, was rushed to a hospital after his plane landed at Los Angeles Airport. He was incoherent when EMTs boarded the plane.

In October, cops got a call from neighbors complaining that a frantic Murphy was on her balcony screaming about gunshots being fired near her home in Hollywood.

The noise was found to be coming from a generator.

Murphy appeared in appeared in more than 20 movies including 8 Mile, Girl Interrupted, Don’t Say a Word, and Sin City. Murphy is seen in here in recent photos from the premiere of the movie Across The Hall, the last movie she appeared in before her death. She also is scheduled to appear in two more movies that are currently in post-production.
