She died of pneumonia on December 20, 2009 at the age of 32. She is a very annoying girl who does not behave lady-like at all, which leads to Cory greatly disliking her. She feels that Topanga is the only one who truly understands her. Brittany Murphy (November 10, 1977 - December 20, 2009) was an actress who played the character Trini Martin in Boy Meets World. In the end Cory finds out Shawn and Topanga set him up. She died of pneumonia on December 20, 2009 at the age of 32. So Cory asks Topanga out and she says yes.
