According to some webpages, she died from gallbladder complications.[9][10] Erin Elizabeth wrote on Dec. 8 that there will be an independent autopsy, Brandy did relate (see disturbing video below) that she was fearful for attacks on her life[11] and her house had been broken into several times.[12]
