The drugs involved in actress Brittany Murphy's death last December were apparently used to treat a cold or respiratory infection, the Los Angeles County coroner's autopsy concluded.An earlier statement from the coroner said Murphy's death was an accident caused by a combination of pneumonia, an iron deficiency and "multiple drug intoxication."
The full autopsy report made public Thursday details what drugs were found in the 32-year-old actress's body after she died in her Hollywood Hills home December 20."Multiple medications were present in the blood, with elevated levels of hydrocodone, acetaminophen, and chlorpheniramine. L-methamphetamine was also present," the report said.The coroner said "the pattern of use of these medications suggest treatment of symptoms of a cold or other respiratory infection."
"Acetaminophen and hydrocodone are components of Vicodin. Chlorpheniramine is the active ingredient in some over-the-counter medications. L-methamphetamine is a component of some inhalers."All of the drugs are legal, the report said.The death was ruled an accident because "possible adverse physiological effects of elevated levels of these medications cannot be discounted, especially in her weakened state," the report said.
The autopsy showed Murphy was suffering from "acute pneumonia consistent with a community-acquired infection."The "chronic iron deficiency" she had -- likely caused by heavy menstrual periods -- "leads to a weakened state of health and would increase her vulnerability to infection," the report said.
Her husband, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, has told People magazine the actress had "laryngitis and flu-like symptoms" at the time of her death.Monjack said Murphy used Vicoprofen to relieve pain from severe menstrual cramps. Vicoprofen includes hydrocodone and ibuprofen."She was on an antibiotic and was taking cough medicine," he said.
Murphy was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after she was rushed there in the early morning hours of Sunday, December 20.The often bubbly, free-spirited actress appeared in films such as "Clueless," "8 Mile," "Don't Say a Word" and "Girl, Interrupted." She also lent her voice to animated works, including the movie "Happy Feet" -- in which she also sang -and a regular role on the animated TV series "King of the Hill."Murphy was best-known for her work in a string of comedies earlier this decade, including playing lead roles in "Uptown Girls" alongside fellow Georgia native Dakota Fanning, and "Little Black Book" with Holly Hunter and Kathy Bates.
It's been three years since Brittany Murphy died, on Dec. 20, 2009, from a fatal combination of prescription drugs, pneumonia and iron deficiency.The actress, who died at 32, had come a long way since her days as a gum-snapping high school student in 1995's "Clueless," in which she starred alongside Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd. No one had any clue idea just how big they were going to get.
"When we were making the movie, you don’t think the movie’s going to be good. You think, I’m making the next 'License to Drive'. You think this movie’s going to be just for teenagers and that’s it," actor Donald Faison told Entertainment Weekly at a 17-year "Clueless" reunion in October.
But for Murphy fans, there's still more work out there to be seen from the actress. The Los Angeles Times reported recently that Murphy's last film, a horror indie called "Something Wicked" by director Darin Scott, has finally been completed - meaning that a posthumous release could be in a theater near you soon.
Angelo Bertolotti, who says he is the late actress Brittany Murphy’s biological father, has filed suit against the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office and the Los Angeles Police Department. He wants to force them to do additional toxicology testing on a sample of the star’s hair and to re-open the investigation into her death.
“Due to the lack of investigative efforts by the Los Angeles Police Department,” says the lawsuit filed Wednesday in L.A. Superior Court, “and the failure to conduct toxicology tests on the specimens" of her hair, Bertolotti believes that "his daughter’s death was incorrectly determined to have been allegedly caused by pneumonia and anemia.”

In 1981, Wood’s death was judged an accidental drowning. She was full of pills and alcohol, and death seemed to arrive through misadventure during a weekend boat excursion with husband Robert Wagner and actor Christopher Walken. However, in recent years, the “accidental” nature of Wood’s death has come into question. Wood was found with bruises on her body, and evidently there were alcohol-fueled arguments on the boat the night before her disappearance. This past January, a revised coroner’s report reintroduced the possibility that Wood’s death may have been “non-volitional.”
Whether there was foul play involved in Natalie Wood’s death or not, its inconclusive and possibly sordid nature has ensured that her death has become as dramatic as any of the roles she played on screen.
Natalie Wood is only one of many Hollywood celebrities who have had mysterious or bizarre deaths. A birthday may be a strange day to remember someone’s death, but for this select group of celebrities, it’s almost unavoidable. Today Bio.com looks back at five other Hollywood-related celebrities whose deaths have become as important a part of their story as their lives.

Sal Mineo was a child actor. He had graduated to playing teenagers by the time he co-starred with Wood in Rebel Without a Cause, the film that made James Dean a star. Rebel Without a Cause also made Sal Mineo a star; he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Plato, the troubled teenager who idolizes Dean’s character in the film.
Mineo’s success in Rebel Without a Cause was both a blessing and a curse. He was so effective on-screen as a troubled teen that he found it more difficult to attract suitable parts as he aged. An open declaration of his homosexuality also had a chilling effect on his career. By the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, he was reduced to doing occasional TV work and playing a talking ape in a Planet of the Apes sequel.
Mineo’s career seemed to be on an upswing by 1975; his role in a new play was warmly received, and his sexuality had ceased to be an issue. However, a career renaissance was not in the cards. On February 12, 1976, after returning home from a rehearsal, Mineo was stabbed to death by an unknown assailant after parking his car behind his apartment building. Some speculated that this may have been an assignation gone wrong, and that Mineo’s lifestyle was to blame. Others wondered if Mineo’s activist work for prison reform had put him in league with unsavory characters.
Three years later, the murderer was identified as a pizza deliveryman named Lionel Williams, who had been trying to rob the actor and did not know who he was. Williams realized later, and he bragged about it to friends. Arrested on a different charge, he was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Although one Williams was responsible for Sal Mineo’s death, another Williams was responsible for the launch of his career: Tennessee Williams. The Rose Tattoo provided Mineo with his first role on stage. (Natalie Wood was no stranger to Williams, either. She starred with Robert Redford in This Property Is Condemned, a Williams adaptation from 1966, as well as in a TV version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with her husband Robert Wagner in 1976.)
Of course, appearing in a Tennessee Williams play in the latter half of the 20th Century was certainly not unusual. Williams dominated the theater scene of the period, and he remains one of the most popular and respected playwrights in American letters, 30 years after his death. Active as a writer from the ‘30s until the ‘80s, he produced dozens of plays, two of which won the Pulitzer Prize, and many of which were made into successful Hollywood films: The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, Sweet Bird of Youth, and The Night of the Iguana among them. Despite often controversial themes, the films made from Williams’ plays were popular hits and featured some of the biggest stars of the day, including Paul Newman, Marlon
Brando, and Elizabeth Taylor.
Despite his success, Williams’ life was troubled and unstable. After the death of his long-time partner Frank Merlo in 1963, Williams became dependent on prescription drugs and sleeping pills. Alcohol abuse added to his woes, and his mental health declined. On February 25, 1983, Williams was discovered dead in his New York hotel suite. Drugs were involved, to no one’s surprise, but the actual cause of death was asphyxiation. One theory is that Williams was attempting to swallow some barbiturates, and he accidentally dropped a cap from an eye drops bottle that he was using as a pill holder down his throat.
Another is that Williams was holding the cap in his mouth as he put in eye drops and somehow swallowed it. Whatever happened, Williams could not have scripted a more absurd or hapless end for one of his own characters.

Nothing as seemingly harmless as a bottle of eye drops ended Bob Crane’s life. Bob Crane, star of the popular TV series Hogan’s Heroes, was found on June 29, 1978, bludgeoned to death, an electrical cord tied around his neck. Thirty-five years later, who killed Crane remains a mystery.
There are various theories, most of them related to a hobby that Crane developed fairly early in his career. Popular as a disc jockey in the Los Angeles area, Crane met plenty of young women. Once he made the transition into acting (one of his first TV appearances was on The Twilight Zone playing—what else—a DJ), he met even more. Crane’s particular interest was to seduce these women and then make films of his tête-à-têtes. Once Hogan’s Heroes was a hit, Crane’s private film production went into overdrive.

John F Kennedy Death Photos

John F Kennedy Death Photos Autopsy

The autopsy of President John F. Kennedy was performed, beginning at about 8 p.m. EST November 22, 1963, on the day of his assassination and ending at about 12:00 AM EST November 23, 1963, at the then Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.
The choice of autopsy hospital in the Washington, D.C. area was made at the request of Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, on the grounds[citation needed] that her husband had been a naval officer.
In 1963, Texas law required that the autopsy of a person murdered in that state was to be conducted there unless the murder occurred in a place owned, possessed, or controlled by the U.S. government. Thus, the murder and subsequent medical examination of President Kennedy was legally under the sole jurisdiction of the State of Texas. State law required an inquest by a justice of the peace for all homicides, and then, if ordered, an autopsy. Dr. Earl Rose, the Dallas County medical examiner, attempted to enforce this law as the Secret Service was removing President Kennedy's body from Parkland Memorial Hospital for immediate return to Washington, D.C. with Jacqueline Kennedy and President Lyndon B. Johnson. A justice of the peace arrived to support Dr. Rose. After a brief scuffle, the President's casket was taken by the Secret
Service.The Dallas County district attorney, Henry Wade, told the justice in a telephone call that he had no objection to the removal of the president's body.

The back wound
The death certificate, signed by the President's personal physician Dr. George Burkley, then a Rear Admiral in the Medical Corps of the U.S. Navy, gave a location for the back wound lower than found by the autopsy (either its photographs or measurements). Dr. Burkley believed a bullet to have hit Kennedy at "about" the level of the third thoracic vertebra (T3).
Supporting the location of Dr. Burkley is a diagram from the autopsy report of Kennedy, which shows a bullet hole in the upper back. However, this diagram is freehand, and not drawn with any attention to landmarks — a criticism made of it by the later House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) analysis.Burkley's location at T3 (the third thoracic vertebra) is also about the same location of the bullet hole in the President's shirt and the bullet hole in the suit jacket worn by Kennedy which show bullet holes between 5 in (13 cm) and 6 in (15 cm) below the top of Kennedy's collar.However, again there has been controversy on the matter of whether or not the holes in the president's clothing should be expected to correspond to the location of his back wound, since he was sitting with a raised arm at the time of the assassination, and multiple photographs taken of the motorcade show his suit jacket bunched at the back of his neck and shoulder, so that it did not lie closely against his skin.

The gunshot wound in the back
The Bethesda autopsy physicians attempted to probe the bullet hole in the base of Kennedy's neck above the scapula, but were unsuccessful as it passed through neck strap muscle. They did not perform a full dissection or persist in tracking, as throughout the autopsy, they were unaware of the exit wound, at the front of the throat. Emergency room physicians had obscured it when they performed the tracheotomy.
At Bethesda, the autopsy report of the president, Warren Exhibit CE 387 described the back wound as being oval, 6 x 4 mm, and located "above the upper border of the scapula" [shoulder blade] at a location 14 cm (5.5 in) from the tip of the right acromion process, and 14 cm (5.5 in) below the right mastoid process (the bony prominence behind the ear).
The concluding page of the Bethesda autopsy report, states: "The other missile [the bullet to the back] entered the right superior posterior thorax above the scapula, and traversed the soft tissues of the supra-scapular and the supra-clavicular portions of the base of the right side of the neck.
The report also reported contusion (bruise) of the apex (top tip) of the right lung in the region where it rises above the clavicle, and noted that although the apex of the right lung and the parietal pleural membrane over it had been bruised, they were not penetrated, indicating passage of a missile close to them, but above them.
The report noted that the thoracic cavity was not penetrated.
This missile produced contusions of the right apical parietal pleura and of the apical portion of the right upper lobe of the lung. The missile contused the strap muscles of the right side of the neck, damaged the trachea, and made its exit through the anterior surface of the neck.
The single bullet of the Warren Commission Report places a bullet wound at the sixth cervical vertebra (C6) of the vertebral column, which is consistent with 5.5 inches (14 cm) below the ear. The Warren Report itself does not conclude bullet entry at the sixth cervical vertebra, but this conclusion was made in a 1979 report on the Kennedy assassination by the HSCA, which noted a defect in the C6 vertebra in the Bethesda X-rays, which the Bethesda autopsy physicians had missed, and did not note.
Even without this information, the original Bethesda autopsy report, included in the Warren Commission report, concluded that this bullet had passed entirely through the president's neck, from a level over the top of the scapula and lung (and the parietal pleura over the top of the lung), and through the lower throat.
Claims that anyone on the commission "moved the wound" are subject to discussion. Gerald Ford said he renamed the location of the wound, so as "to make things clearer". The Bethesda autopsy noted that JFK was hit in the "upper back" and Ford changed this to "the base of the neck".

Marvin Gaye Death Photos

Marvin Gaye Death Photos Biography

Source:- Google.com.pk

Marvin Gaye was born on April 2, 1939, in Washington, D.C. He sang in his father's church and in the Moonglows before signing with Motown. He recorded songs by Smokey Robinson before becoming his own producer on the protest album What's Going On. Gaye's later records developed his production style and yielded several hits. Gaye was killed in 1984 during a domestic dispute with his father.

Early Life
Singer Marvin Gaye, also known as the "Prince of Soul," was born Marvin Pentz Gay Jr. (he added the "e" to his last name alter in life) in Washington, D.C., on April 2, 1939. Gaye was raised under the strict control of his father, Reverend Marvin Gay Sr., the minister at a local church, against a bleak backdrop of widespread violence in his neighborhood.Throughout his childhood, Marvin Gaye often found peace in music, mastering the piano and drums at a young age. Until high school, his singing experience was limited to church revivals, but soon he developed a love for R&B and doo-wop that would set the foundation for his career. In the late 1950s, Gaye joined a vocal group called The New Moonglows.

Motown Records
Gaye's first certified hit under his own name wouldn't come until 1962, but his early years at Motown were full of behind-the-scenes successes. He was a session drummer for Motown legends such as Little Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Marvelettes and Martha and the Vandellas. Showing his stripes as Motown's renaissance man, Gaye went on to break into the Top 40 for the first time on his own in 1962 with his solo single "Hitch Hike."
Throughout the 1960s, Gaye would show his immense range, churning out solo dance hits and romantic duets with hit-makers like Diana Ross and Mary Wells. "Can I Get a Witness" and "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" were some of Gaye's biggest hits of the period, the latter achieving its place as Motown's best-selling single of the 1960s.
For three high-flying years, Gaye and Tammi Terrell wowed the country with their soaring duet performances of songs like "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "If I Could Build My Whole World Around You". Unfortunately, their reign as the Royal Couple of R&B ended when Terrell succumbed to a brain tumor in 1970. His beloved partner's death ushered in a dark period for the singer, who swore never to partner with another female vocalist and threatened to abandon the stage for good.

Political Message
In 1970, inspired by escalating violence and political unrest over the Vietnam War, Gaye wrote the landmark song "What's Going On." Despite clashes with Motown over the song's creative direction, the single was released in 1971 and became an instant smash. Its success prompted Gaye to take even more risks, both musically and politically. When it was released in the spring of 1971, the What's Going On album served to open Gaye up to new audiences while maintaining his Motown following.

Departing from the tried and true Motown formula, Gaye went out on his own artistically, paving the way for other Motown artists like Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson to branch out in later years. Beyond influencing his peers,the album garnered widespread critical acclaim, winning the Rolling Stone Album of the Year award.

Crossover Success
In 1972, Gaye moved to Los Angeles and soon met Janis Hunter, who would later become his second wife. Inspired in part by his newfound independence, Gaye recorded one of the most revered love anthems of all time, "Let's Get It On." The song became his second number one Billboard hit, cementing his crossover appeal once and for all. Shortly afterwards, Motown pushed Gaye into touring to capitalize on his most recent success; reluctantly the singer-songwriter returned to the stage.

Personal Life
In 1975, Gaye's wife Anna Gordy -- Barry Gordy's daughter -- filed for divorce, and two years later Gaye married Hunter, who had by then given birth to their daughter, Nona (born September 4, 1974) and their son Frankie (born November 16, 1975). Gaye also had an adopted son (Marvin Pentz Gaye III) from his previous marriage. The singer's marriage to Hunter proved short lived and tumultuous, ending in divorce in 1981.

Death and Legacy
Despite his successful comeback in the early 1980s, Gaye struggled badly with the substance abuse and bouts of depression that had plagued him for most of his life. After his last tour, he moved into his parents' house. There he and his father fell into a pattern of violent fights and quarrels that recalled conflicts that had haunted the family for decades. On April 1, 1984, Marvin Gaye Sr. shot and killed his son after a physical altercation; the father claimed he acted in self-defense but would later be convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

A celebrity is a person, who has a prominent profile and commands some degree of public fascination and influence in day-to-day media. The term is often synonymous with wealth (commonly denoted as a person with fame and fortune), implied with great popular appeal, prominence in a particular field, and is easily recognized by the general public.
Various careers within the fields of sports and entertainment are commonly associated with celebrity status. These fields have produced prominent figures within these two industries.
While people may gain celebrity status as a result of a successful career in a particular field (primarily in the areas pertaining towards sports and entertainment), in other cases, people become celebrities due to media attention for their extravagant lifestyle or wealth (as in the case of a socialite); for their connection to a famous person (as in the case of a relative of a famous person); or even for their misdeeds (as in the case of a well-known criminal). Celebrities may be known around the world (e.g., pop stars and film actors), within a specific country (e.g., a top Australian rugby player); or within a region (e.g., a local television news anchor).

Regional and cultural implications
Cultures and regions with a significant population may have their own independent celebrity systems, with distinct hierarchies. For example, the Canadian province of Quebec, which is French-speaking, has its own system of French-speaking television, movie and music celebrities. A person who garners a degree of fame in one culture may be considered less famous or obscure in another. Some nationwide celebrities might command some attention outside their own nation; for example, the singer Lara Fabian is widely known in the French-speaking world, but only had a couple of Billboard hits in the US, whereas the francophone Canadian singer Celine Dion is well known in both the French-speaking world and in the US.
Regions within a country, or cultural communities (linguistic, ethnic, religious) can also have their own celebrity systems, especially in linguistically or culturally distinct regions such as Quebec or Wales. Regional radio personalities, newscasters, politicians or community leaders may be local or regional celebrities.

Fictional implications
The same phenomenon is true for fictional characters. When most people think of a superhero or a comic book celebrity, Superman, Spider-Man, and Batman will usually be the first that comes to mind. If one has to name a famous wizard, the names would typically be Merlin, Gandalf or Harry Potter. Mickey Mouse is perhaps the most famous cartoon character and fictional mouse in the world. The most famous movie monsters are King Kong and Godzilla, the archetypical detective is Sherlock Holmes and most people's idea of a spy is James Bond.

Becoming a celebrity
People may become celebrities in a wide range of ways; from their professions, following appearances in the media, committing a mass murder, or even by complete accident. The term "instant celebrity" describes someone who becomes a celebrity in a very short period of time. Someone who achieves a small amount of transient fame (through, say, hype or mass media) may become labeled a "B-grade celebrity". Often, the generalization extends to someone who falls short of mainstream or persistent fame but who seeks to extend or exploit it.

As a mass media phenomenon
Celebrities often have fame comparable to royalty. As a result, there is a strong public curiosity about their private affairs. The release of Kim Kardashian's sex tape with rapper Ray J in 2007 brought her to a new level of fame, leading to magazine covers, book deals, and reality TV series.
Celebrities may be resented for their accolades, and the public may have a love/hate relationship with celebrities. Due to the high visibility of celebrities' private lives, their successes and shortcomings are often made very public. Celebrities are alternately portrayed as glowing examples of perfection, when they garner awards, or as decadent or immoral if they become associated with a scandal. When seen in a positive light, celebrities are frequently portrayed as possessing skills and abilities beyond average people; for example, celebrity actors are routinely celebrated for acquiring new skills necessary for filming a role within a very brief time, and to a level that amazes the professionals who train them.
Similarly, some celebrities with very little formal education can sometimes be portrayed as experts on complicated issues. Some celebrities have been very vocal with their political views. For example, Matt Damon expressed his displeasure with 2008 US vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, as well as with the 2011 United States debt-ceiling crisis.
