32?  Wow.
Other unsourced reports suggest cocaine may have been the cause.

Yeah, that was my first impression after seeing the photo.

It was an hour long episode that aired on September 13th.

IMDB.com doesn't state that the show is over though.  I'm now officially confused.

Shame about Brittany.

Actress Brittany Murphy died at age, 32, after she reportedly went into full cardiac arrest and could not be revived.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Spokeswoman Sally Stewart told the Associated Press Murphy died at 10:04 a.m. Sunday. She would not provide a cause of death, or any other information.

Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Devon Gale says crews responded to a call at 8 a.m. Sunday from a home in Los Angeles that is listed as belonging to British screenwriter Simon Monjack, who is married to Murphy. Gale says one person was transported to a hospital.

The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office is reportedly launching an investigation into Murphy's death, according to TMZ.

How do you die of a heart attack at 32?
I should feel sad at her passing, but I feel drugs were somehow involved.

Ok, call me heartless.

How sad..such a young girl....I know she lost a lot of weight (don't know the manner)  I don't watch king of the hill, but I saw her in a movie with Eminem.

 RIP Brittany...I feel for the family.... to lose this young girl during this Christmas season..

My dad had a triple by-pass after a heart attack at 33. It happens.

But she's been fighting drugs and eating disorders for near a decade... sucks.

Damn, she was only a year older then me. I loved her in Clueless and King of the Hill. I would not be the least bit surpised that drugs were involved, she don't look very healthy. :(

Sorry, but it's extremely rare for a young (30-something) to drop dead of a heart attack without some serious underlying issues.  I should know--I lost my sister at age 31, and there were serious underlying issues in her case.

Some recent pictures showed her to be so painfully thin....

Anorexic maybe?

That could cause heart failure....it slowly shuts the body down, system by system...

Sorry, but it's extremely rare for a young (30-something) to drop dead of a heart attack without some serious underlying issues.  I should know--I lost my sister at age 31, and there were serious underlying issues in her case.

There was a fine fine young man in my family tree that dropped dead at 30 years and 5 days old. Unlike his older brothers, he never did drugs, drink or eat the wrong foods. He took excellent care of himself and was a good Christian young man. He, his wife and 2 small daughters were in the grocery store just before Christmas 12 years ago when he dropped dead of a "heart attack".

I said "heart attack" but because it was so unexpected the family had an autopsy done. It was found that his mother carried a gene for some type of heart problem. She had had 2 brothers drop dead at an early age under similiar circumstances. All the children got test but were free of the gene. It was doulbly sad because it could have been treated with medication if it had been known he was carrying the gene. His 2 daughters were spared the gene.

About 5 years ago his widow remarried and her and her new husband had a son. Their son is the spitting image of her departed husband at that age. It's unbelieveable how much he looks and acts like the departed husband.
