Five months after Brittany Murphy was found dead in her Hollywood Hills home by her husband, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, he passed on in the same home.
L.A. coroner’s office investigator reported that Monjack found Murphy lying on the bathroom floor in December last year and tried to revive her in the shower before calling in the police and medics. By the time they had been married for two years. Murphy, 32, died of pneumonia complicated by an iron deficiency and anemia, her collapse was caused by drug intoxication.
Sunday night Monjack, 39, was discovered lying unconscious by Sharon, Murphy’s mother, according to the Hollywood Reporter. She found him between 9 and 10 p.m. and reported it at once.
The Los Angeles Times had it from Sgt. Louie Lozano that there were detectives on the scene investigating into the cause of death. He promised to furnish information as soon as the police learned anything definite.
Monjack was pronounced officially dead on Monday morning by the L.A. County Coroner’s Office. Death is believed to have been natural.
