MUMBAI: Brittany Murphy was laid to rest at a small, private funeral on Christmas Eve, while a larger memorial service is expected to be held early next year.

The 32-year-old actress expired last Sunday after collapsing at her Hollywood Hills home. An autopsy performed Monday was inconclusive, and the coroner‘s office is awaiting results of toxicology and tissue tests before determining an official cause of death.

Authorities are investigating the cause of her death.

Murphy moved with her mother, Sharon, to Los Angeles when she was a teenager to pursue an acting career. She started out in sitcoms and commercials in the early 1990s before winning starring roles in several films.

She played Eminem‘s love interest in 8 Mile and Ashton Kutcher‘s wife in Just Married. She starred as a suspicious girlfriend in 2004‘s Little Black Book a barmaid with an abusive ex-boyfriend in 2005‘s Sin City.

Murphy was juggling multiple movie projects in the months before her unexpected death, wrapping two indie thrillers over the summer and preparing to shoot a romantic comedy next month.
