The coroner’s report has ruled Alexander McQueen’s death last week a suicide and let it be known that McQueen hanged himself and left a suicide note.  He hung himself with his own clothing designs.

Alexander was dealing with the death of his mother just days before and also a lover who left him previously.

Dr. Conrad Murray Charged (Finally)

Dr. Conrad Murray was charged with involentary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.

TMZ got a hold of the coroner’s report that led to Murray being charged.  Here is what led to the coroner’s decision;

1. Circumstances indicate the Propofol and the benzodiazepines were administered by another.

2. Propofol was administered in a non-hospital setting without any appropriate medical indication.

3. The standard of care for administering Propofol was not met. Recommended equipment for patient monitoring, precision dosing and resuscitation was not present.

4. The circumstances do not support self-administration of Propofol.

Jessica Mathis, who was on scene had this to say about Murray being arrested and being there.

Being at Dr. Conrad Murray’s indictment was a nightmare all over again reliving the fact that Michael is gone. I arrived late and didn’t get to see him walk into the courthouse but a MJ friend of mine told me that they chanted “Murderer” as he walked in and that he definitely heard them, contrary to the media reporting people chanted “justice for Michael.”

We waited for almost 2 hours before the Jackson family left, all of the family snuck out through the back of the courthouse, while Randy Jackson walked out alone in front of the entire media and fans to his one black car. The fans yelled, “Love you Randy!” and he waved slightly acknowledging them as he got into the car.

The media poked around and interviewed fans, waiting for Murray to walk out. But Murray was a sly snake, somehow he managed to slip away into some unknown vehicle and already was gone before all of us knew it, while the car he arrived in stayed and then left empty as a decoy

Fans screamed outraged, “Why the celebrity treatment for this man?!” He had his own special getaway vehicle somehow provided by the police. Why was that happening? All I can say is that’s wrong, he should of faced the media and fans, but he’s a coward. Too scared to show the world what he really is, a liar, and a murderer.

I thank Jessica for sharing that with us.  What do you think of Conrad Murray finally being charged?-Dr.FB

Brittany Murphy’s Family Say Drugs Did Not Kill Her

As they await the toxicology reports, Brittany Murphy’s husband and mom say that her death had nothing to do with drugs.

They believe her death was caused by natural causes.   There was a report of about 10 medications prescribed to Brittany but Simon says most of those were his. 

Sharon Murphy said her daughter would not even drink on New Year’s Eve or take too much caffeine and had a fear of dying.  

Simon Monjack said he is thinking of suing TMZ for the release of the prescription medication as well as the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office for selling TMZ that information. 

Simon has released several photos of Brittany on his own site, which you can see HERE.

There will be a public memorial planned for the end of February, and hopefully the toxicology reports will be back by then.

What do you think?-Dr.FB

Large Amounts Of Prescription Drugs Found At Brittany Murphy’s

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment on December 22nd, 2009 by drfunkenberry

More information from the coroner’s report has been released and unfortunately, it is not good. A large amount of prescription medicine were found on Brittany Murphy’s night stand. 

Here is a quote from the coroner’s office: “A check of the nightstands revealed large amounts of prescription medication in the decedent’s name. Also noted were numerous empty prescription medication bottles in the decedent’s husband’s name, the decedent’s mother’s name and unidentified third party names.”

TMZ was able to obtain the coroner’s exact notes and drugs: According to the notes, the medications included Topamax (anti-seizure meds also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins.

Notice there is a diabetic prescription in there, so there is a chance that Brittany’s mother could be right and it had something to do with her mixing her diabetic medicine with others.

I want to state again something that other celeb bloggers are not reporting for their own stupid ego and it is this: NO ILLEGAL DRUGS WERE DISCOVERED. NO DRUG PARAPHENLIA. NO ALCOHOL CONTAINERS WERE FOUND.

Not sorry for that in bold.  I just want to make sure you all see that.-Dr.FB

Brittany Murphy’s Mom Says Death Could Be Tied To Diabetes

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment on December 21st, 2009 by drfunkenberry

Is Brittany Murphy’s mother a mom who is trying to protect her daughter from drug rumors or is she shining some light on her daughter’s death?

Brittany Murphy’s mom says that Brittany had diabetes type 2 (which is something I suffer from) and that it could be complications of her diabetes that caused her death.

Several prescription drugs were found in Brittany’s house and she had been suffering from flu-like symptoms and was mixing flu medications along with her other prescriptions.  No illegal drugs were found in the residence.

Her mother found her in the shower where there was throw-up around her and it is said that she had thrown up through the night. 

Here are some links of people with diabetes who died in their 30’s from complications to diabetes:

So do you think that her mother is protecting her or does her story have merit?-Dr.FB
