Murphy Feared She’d Die Young
By WENNThursday, January 21, 2010
Tragic actress BRITTANY MURPHY feared her heart condition would kill her young, her widower has revealed.
Murphy was born with mitral valve prolapse, which prevented one of the valves in her heart from closing properly.
The condition is manageable and doctors saw no reason why Murphy should not lead a normal life - but her husband Simon Monjack claims the illness haunted the star.
He tells People magazine, “She had expressed to me a fear of dying young and a fear of her heart. We had it checked out every way you could imagine.”
Murphy died on 20 December (09) after suffering a cardiac arrest, aged just 32. The cause of her death has been deferred pending toxicology test results.
