"Brittany Murphy, perhaps best known for her role in the 90&amp;#039;s hit film Clueless, died unexpectedly in 2009 at the age of 32 of pneumonia and anemia, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner. But Murphy&amp;#039;s father, Angelo Bertolotti, recently ordered a new lab report, which concluded that someone may have poisoned his famous daughter. Bertolotti&amp;#039;s suspicion about Murphy&amp;#039;s death grew because his son-in-law, Simon Monjack, passed away only five months after Murphy of pneumonia and anemia\u2014the same culprits that supposedly killed his wife\u2014and in the same room in which she passed away. Believing that authorities failed to uncover the real cause of her death, Bertolotti sent samples of Murphy&amp;#039;s hair to a private lab for testing. &amp;quot;I have a feeling that there was a definite murder situation here,&amp;quot; he said of the results. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s poison, yes, I know that.&amp;quot; The lab found 10 heavy metals (typically in rat poison) in levels above what&amp;#039;s safe for humans according to the World Health Organization. &amp;quot;If we were to eliminate the possibility of a simultaneous accidental heavy metals exposure to the sample donor then the only logical explanation would be an exposure to these metals (toxins) administered by a third party perpetrator with likely criminal intent,&amp;quot; the report read. Mychal Wilson, a Los Angeles attorney, believes that authorities may reopen the late actress&amp;#039;s case and retest the samples. &amp;quot;Apparently, the LA County Coroner&amp;#039;s Office never tested for heavy metal poisoning,&amp;quot; he said. But others are more skeptical. Bruce Goldberger, PhD, director of forensic medicine at the University of Florida and president of the American Board of Forensic Toxicology, says that the lab report was &amp;quot;ridiculous.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;She was a beautiful woman and likely had numerous hair treatments,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Chemicals in the hair treatment would alter the chemistry of her hair sample.&amp;quot; Do you think that Brittany Murphy really could have been poisoned?
