Join comedian and pop culture expert Charles Phoenix on an all-new field trip adventure. Charles Phoenix’s “Up with Downey” Tour, a 5-hour Up with bus and walking tour of America’s greatest space age suburban city, Downey, CA, takes place on Saturday, March 27 from 12 pm to 5 pm.

Downey is a mid-century suburban smorgasbord of googie landmarks, sprawling ranch homes, designer office buildings and deluxe dingbat apartments. But Downey isn’t all about the space age. Hidden away in the corner of city is a virtually undiscovered ghost town of amazing 1880s-1920s buildings in an enormous giant tree garden setting – all remains of the Los Angeles County “Poor Farm,” founded in 1888. According to Charles, “You have to see it to believe it.”

Weeks after her untimely death, coroners have now concluded that Brittany Murphy died of pneumonia. Multiple drug use, however, was a very potent contributing factor as the actress was reportedly “intoxicated” from it. This was according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office who did the autopsy on Murphy, who was found lying in her bathroom last December 30th.

The coroner declared this as accidental.

The specifics of what type of drug it was were not known, although the actress’ husband, Simon Monjack and her mother, Sharon Murphy, have indeed confirmed to the investigators that days before she died, the actress was actually sick with flu.

Mojack also admitted his wife was taking anti-siezure medication and over the counter medicines for this sickness. But denies she had been abusing this.
