In retrospect, there were plenty of warning signs leading up to the death of 32-year-old actress Brittany Murphy. In her final public appearances she appeared frail and befuddled, her frame dwindled to almost nothing, her mind seemingly out to lunch during interviews.

And then there were the "hints" she dropped throughout those interviews that confirmed public suspicions about her wavering health, which many felt was a result of an eating disorder coupled with drug use.

Two weeks before her death from cardiac arrest, she told Fox News "I'm a bit thinner now than what I would like to be."

Her final interview, at the premiere of her film Across the Hall, ended on an exceptionally creepy note. After wrapping up an interview that was heavy on rambling and a fuzzy demeanor, there's this hair-raising exchange:

Murphy: Can I have your hair in my next life?

Reporter: Oh my gosh, are you kidding me?

Murphy: [cackling] No!

It's an innocuous comment, but one that sounds quite troubling in retrospect. And when the reporter returns the compliment, asking Murphy "Can I be you in my next life?", her response is a simple, sober "No problem."
