Speculation surrouds the death of actress Brittany Murphy.

Los Angeles coroners performed an autopsy yesterday as speculation mounted that anorexia may have played a part in her sudden death at age 32. Police and coroner's officials said no foul play is suspected in the actress's cardiac arrest Sunday morning in the bathroom of her Hollywood Hills home.

In other news, a California appeals court has denied an attempt by attornies representing Roman Polanski to have a sex charge against the film director dismissed on grounds of judicial misconduct. In 1978, Polanski fled the United States after pleading guilty to having unlawful sex with a minor. The legal battle renewed after the Oscar winner was arrested at a film festival in Switzerland, where he is currently being held.
