Hollywood starlet Brittany Murphy's death has been tied to her use of prescription drugs, while troubled socialite Casey Johnson died of natural causes linked to diabetes.
Autopsy results on the two women were released Thursday by the Los Angeles County Coroner, answering questions that swirled about both women's sudden and tragic deaths.
Murphy, 32, the star of "8 Mile" and "Clueless," was suffering from pneumonia when she collapsed and died in the shower of her California home on Dec. 21, 2009, the autopsy showed.
While the illness was cited as her primary cause of death, the autopsy found "multiple drug intoxication" - all prescription medications, said coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey.
Her death was ruled accidental, he said, and a full autopsy report was expected in two weeks.
