Promotional artwork for a DVD release showing late actress Brittany Murphy lying apparently lifeless in a bathtub has been pulled by a US rental chain.Redbox said it planned to complete the removal of DVD covers and posters from its outlets by 1 January.
The artwork promotes Deadline, a direct to DVD title in which Murphy played a writer staying in a haunted house.
A private funeral service is expected to be held later at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles.
'On her game'
It is the same cemetery where singer Michael Jackson was laid to rest earlier this year.
Murphy, 32, was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre after collapsing in the bathroom of her Hollywood home on Sunday.
The county coroner's office is awaiting the results of toxicology and tissue tests before releasing an official cause of death.
Best known for her roles in Clueless and 8 Mile, Murphy completed a number of films this year that are currently awaiting release.
The director of one, a thriller called Abandoned, said she was delightful to work with and "was on her game".
"She was such a pro and so good at her craft that she could turn it on and off as necessary," said Michael Feifer.
