Not swine flu then

Back in December, the Express asked this question-mark-free question about the death of Brittany Murphy:


It is well known that if a headline asks a question, the answer is almost always 'no'.

But if the hacks at the Express weren't sure, then they should have asked their colleagues at the Daily Star. They were absolutely convinced:


Granted the coroner had not announced an offical verdict, but it never really seemed likely, did it?

And not just because it was in the Star and Express.

Inevitably, today, the coroner has ruled the cause of death to be....pneumonia. With 'anemia and prescription drugs' as secondary factors.

The Desmond papers: wrong again.
