The actual cause of Murphy’s death has been debated by the public, friends and her father since her death, according to the HBO documentary.
Many rumors surfaced that the actress died of a drug overdose since she was so young and because the toxicology report listed “multiple drug intoxication.” However, Dr. Lisa Scheinin, who performed Murphy’s autopsy, never found any illegal drugs in Murphy’s system. She also ruled that the prescribed drugs found in Murphy’s system were not the main cause of death.
Murphy’s father, Angelo Bertolotti, believed that Murphy had been poisoned. He hired a private lab to run tests on Murphy’s body. The lab found high amounts of 10 metals in Murphy’s system. However, a forensic pathologist explained that the metals were not found in Murphy’s bloodstream and concluded she hadn’t been poisoned.
