The L.A. coroner's office is investigating how the Web site TMZ obtained details on prescription drugs found at Brittany Murphy's home, as detailed in an investigator's report into the actress's death. "I'm furious," Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told the Associated Press. "We don't normally release partial information. If partial information goes out, it of course makes us look bad." The TMZ report noted numerous bottles of prescription meds at Murphy's Hollywood Hills home, ranging from depression and anti-anxiety pills to painkillers.
