Celebrity Photos That Were The Last Known To Be Taken Before They Died

 Brittany Murphy, 32, 1977 - 2009

This photo of Brittany Murphy shows her walking the red carpet on December 3rd, 2009 in what was her last public appearance. Soon after, on December 20th, she died of a cardiac arrest after collapsing in her bathroom, with causes believed to be acute pneumonia and severe anaemia as well as multiple drug intoxication. Murphy had been taking a range of over-the-counter and prescription medications, with the most likely reason being to treat a cold or respiratory infection. All of the drugs were legal and the death was ruled to be an accident.
