How Did Brittany Murphy Die- Why Are Conspiracy Theorist Linking Her Death to P Diddy’s Ex-girlfriend Kim Porter?

Popularly known for her roles in comedy and drama movies, singer-actress Brittany Murphy was one of the most admired actresses in the industry. She has appeared in movies including Clueless, Freeway, Girl, Interrupted, Drop Dead Gorgeous, 8 Mile, and more. The actress passed away at the age of 32 on December 20, 2009, and her cause of death was revealed to be pneumonia, iron deficiency anemia, and multiple drug intoxications from over-the-counter and prescribed medications.

Murphy’s death had a severe impact on her family and the people she had worked with, especially because her passing away was sudden and under suspicious circumstances. Her husband, Simon Monjack, also passed away in similar circumstances in 2010. Murphy’s father, Angelo Bertolotti, had expressed that his daughter was poisoned, but there is no confirmation. P Diddy’s arrest and lawsuits have reignited the conspiracy theories connecting Diddy and the untimely death of Murphy.

Conspiracy theorists connects P Diddy to Brittany Murphy’s untimely death

The Grammy award-winning record producer P Diddy is currently in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he waits for his trial that is scheduled to start on May 5, 2025. With several lawsuits piling up against the artist alleging s**ual misconduct, conspiracy theorists also believe that the record producer is connected to the untimely death of actress-singer Brittany Murphy.

The actress had reportedly collapsed on the bathroom floor in her home, where she lived with her mother and husband. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office revealed that the manner of her death was accidental, with the cause of death being pneumonia with factors of severe iron deficiency anemia and multiple drug intoxications from over-the-counter and prescribed medications.

Her father later expressed that technicians had found an abnormally high presence of heavy metal in her hair sample and claimed that foul play was involved in her death. Despite clarifying that the heavy metal that has been detected comes from her hairspray, Brittany Murphy’s father was not convinced. He shared with Good Morning America (via The Mirror).

I have a feeling that there was a definite murder situation here. It’s poison, yes, I know that.

Now conspiracy theorists are joining the dots by speculating that maybe Brittany Murphy and P Diddy’s former partner Kim Porter’s deaths are connected. The one common link is Ed Winter, the Los Angeles County Deputy Coroner. Winter had conducted the autopsies for both Murphy and Porter, but passed away before completing a second autopsy on Kim Porter.

According to reports by People, Diddy Combs’ former partner Kim Porter had passed away at the age of 47 in her home on November 15, 2018. Cause of her death was later revealed to be lobar pneumonia, similar to Murphy’s. The actress had known Diddy Combs due to his friendship with Ashton Kutcher, who reportedly dated the actress at the time.

It was also revealed later that her husband at the time of her death; Simon Monjack was also connected to Diddy via his trainer. Now there are two theories of how Diddy could allegedly be involved in the death of Murphy. One, he wanted to prevent the actress from exposing his doings in the industry, and second, it was a result of her husband, Monjack, owing a lot of money to the personal trainer.

Monjack passing away just five months after Murphy’s death from pneumonia and Diddy’s large supply of baby oil adds to the speculation. Poison Control states that inhaling baby oil can cause aspiration pneumonia. There is no evidence or confirmation supporting these alleged theories except coincidences.

P Diddy celebrates his birthday at Metropolitan Detention Center

THR reveals that Diddy Combs, who awaits his trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, was recently heard speaking to his children as they wished him a happy birthday. In a video shared by his son Justin Dior Combs, the record producer can be heard saying,

I love you all so much. I can’t wait to see you all. I just want to say I’m proud of you all, especially the girls. I mean all of you, but just for being strong. Thank you all for being strong, and thank you all for being by my side and supporting me. I love you all. I have the best family in the world. My birthday. I’m happy. Thank you for giving me this call. I love you all.

The kids can also be heard stating that they can’t wait to see him in a couple of days. Diddy’s kids have been by his side since his arrest in September 2024, and last month they took to their social media to express their support for the artist by stating.

The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media. We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail.

Grammy award-winning record producer has denied all the allegations against him, yet his bail was denied twice due to concerns that he might flee the country. Sean Diddy Combs’ trial is set to take place on May 5, 2025.
