Actress Brittany Murphy died early today after going into cardiac arrest, law enforcement sources said. Los Angeles city firefighters responded to "a medical request" at Murphy's home in the 1800 block of Rising Glen Road in West Hollywood. Murphy, 32, was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
Murphy starred in films including "Clueless," "8 Mile" and "Don't Say a Word."

Toxicology test results will show if we have lost another blooming soul due to the vicious cycle known as Hollywood.
