A new HBO Max documentary unveils heartbreaking details about the 'Clueless' star's final days.

A new HBO Max documentary is describing details about actor Brittany Murphy's tragic final days.

Murphy died in December 2009 at age 32 of untreated pneumonia with contributing factors of anemia and drug intoxication from prescription and over-the-counter medications, according to Ed Winter, former assistant chief at the Los Angeles County coroner’s office, who also appears in the documentary. Murphy's"8 Mile" co-star Taryn Manning echoes Najimy's sentiments, comparing Murphy to a"butterfly," while"Clueless" director Amy Heckerling says Murphy's"sweetness" transcended onto the screen."She was just genuine," says Heckerling.Those close to Murphy saw trouble right away in her relationship with Monjack. Najimy recalls Murphy acting"hypnotized" by Monjack.

Najimy notes that Murphy met the unknown Monjack in 2006 during"a little dip" in her life."Her judgment was muddled and desperate and she became prey to things she thought would help her," says Najimy.Alamy Burnett tells filmmakers he later learned that"every single word" out of Monjack's mouth was a lie."I can't stress enough how convincing this man was," recalls the director.
