Actress Brittany Murphy died Sunday morning after suffering full cardiac arrest.

An emergency call was made from the home of Murphy's husband Simon Monjack at 8 am.

TMZreported that the star, 32, was pronounced dead on arrival after being taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Her time of death was listed as 10:04 AM.

Murphy starred in such films as Clueless, Girl Interrupted, 8 Mile, and Don't Say a Word. Murphy was reportedly fired from her last film, The Caller, after reports she was problematic on set.

Sources told TMZ that Murphy's mom discovered her unconscious in the shower. When paramedics arrived, they quickly determined Murphy was in full cardiac arrest and immediately administered CPR. They continued CPR in route to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center -- several miles away -- and Murphy was unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The LA County Coroner's is picking up Murphy's body from Cedars Sunday afternoon and will launch an investigation.
