The Death of Brittany Murphy

TRUE CRIME - On this episode we talk about a Hollywood starlet who died long before her time in very suspicious circumstances. Brittany Murphy came to Hollywood all the way from New Jersey and starred in loads of hit movies in the 90s and 2000s; the persona she portrayed on screen made her untimely death seem like just another tale of excess.The truth is so much stranger though; her marriage to Simon Monjack, a British Director and Screenwriter; was filled with misfortune, fraud and she had to care for him through long term illness which he allegedly used to manipulate people. Brittany's death was only months before Simon's and both deaths had almost identical causes. Toxins in their new house were initially to blame but support for a government whistleblower could have been the impetus to silence her.A very strange tale of manipulation and fraud and, hopefully, it will give you a more informed view of who Brittany Murphy was. Not the drug addled waif she played so well in all those great films.Joining me on this episode is Shona Ellen aka EllieJayden and you can find her on her YouTube Channel, Instagram and Twitter here:https://www.youtube.com/user/EllieJaydenhttps://www.instagram.com/elliejayden/https://twitter.com/EllieJayden_______________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

Those Conspiracy Guys is a history, comedy and true crime podcast from Ireland produced and presented by Gordon Rochford and the topics discussed are varied and wide-ranging; from the speculations on the out-there conspiracy theories like aliens, time travel, and ancient civilisations to researched discussions on the more grounded, historical and provable conspiracies like political and financial corruption, scientific chicanery and secret government agency shenanigans. In long-form group discussions; interviews with authors and experts; live stage shows and streams with an eager audience; and collaborations with other conspiracy creators; Gordo examines all the wildest notions and most unbelievable theories in the ever broadening genre of 'conspiracy'. From the high-concept topics like inter-dimensional lizard men, complicated assassination plots and potential future technologies like alternative simulated universes; to the much more tangible topics like discussing serial killers and mysterious true crime cases; exploring the history of religions and cult leaders; and historically profiling the lives and times of some of the most influential people to have lived, and died. Those Conspiracy Guys brings you on a light hearted and hilarious exploration of these fantastic stories through thoroughly researched and painstakingly contmeplated production; making it easy and fun for these sometimes heavy and complicated topics to be digested, with lashings of good old irreverend Irish craic from host Gordon Rochford and a cavalcade of hilarious comedians, committed creators and fabulously interesting guests.
