Simon Monjack, the British husband of the late Hollywood actress Brittany Murphy, died of natural causes, Los Angeles police said.
Monjack, 39, was found dead on Sunday night, five months after Murphy's death and in near identical circumstances.
He collapsed at the Hollywood home which the couple once shared. Murphy's mother, Sharon, who also lived in the house, raised the alarm in an emergency call at 9.40pm.
He was pronounced dead by paramedics after rescucitation attempts failed. Police gave the preliminary cause of death as natural causes. He is believed to have suffered a heart attack.
"We concluded there are no signs of foul play or any criminal activity involved," said Sgt Alex Ortiz, spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department. Sources said a number of prescription medications were found at the address.
The Los Angeles Coroner's Office has taken over the investigation.
Monjack claimed to have a history of cardiac problems. Returning from Murphy's film set in Puerto Rico last November, he collapsed on board the flight and needed medical treatment. Initally he blamed it on a heart attack, but later said he had suffered a heart attack.
Mrs Murphy also discovered her daughter's body in December 2009. The 32-year-old actress, famous for her roles in Clueless and 8 Mile, died of pneumonia, with drug intoxication as a contributing factor.
In the months following Murphy's death, Monjack's role in her life came under uncomfortable scrutiny.
A grieving Monjack made frequent, emotional telephone calls to the Press after Murphy's death, defending his character and speaking of his love for her. The couple were planning a family and a new life in New York, he said.
Monjack was questioned by investigators about Murphy's drug intake but was not considered a suspect in her death. When the coroner described Murphy's death as "preventable" and said she would still be alive if she had seen a doctor instead of self-medicating, Monjack declared himself "ridiculously upset".
His attempts to build a "legacy" for his late wife proved typically controversial. He launched the Brittany Murphy Foundation and announced plans for a celebrity fundraiser, with ticket prices of $1,000 per individual or $10,000 per corporation. Critics called the event "tacky", and Monjack called it off. It then emerged that he had not registered the foundation as a charity and promised to return all donations.
Murphy left nothing to Monjack in her will. She bequeathed her estate to her mother.

Brittany Murphy died on Sunday, December 20th, 2009 in her home. She was 32 years old. Since then, there has been an autopsy performed (see article: Brittany Murphay death more tests to take place so far autopsy results are normal )

Also her funeral is set for Christmas Eve (see article: Brittany Murphy private funeral set on Christmas Eve)



It is odd and sick that when a celebrity dies, people instantly go to google / yahoo / bing etc.. and search for that celebrity death photo.

So people stop searching, at this time the death photo for Brittany Murphy does NOT exist, even if it did, we would not post it because we want to remember her good memories.

This is like searching for Michael Jackson's death photo or Michael Jackson Autopsy photo. Simply does NOT exist! So stop searching for it!



RIP Brit! RIP!

Brittany Murphy's family paid a heart-warming tribute to the actress who passed away on Sunday morning following an alleged cardiac arrest.

The Clueless star collapsed at home in Los Angeles and was pronounced dead in hospital. An autopsy has been carried out but the cause of death is still unknown.

‘Brittany Murphy killed by drugs just like MJ’

A family statement said the 'loss of our beloved Brittany is a terrible tragedy. She was our daughter, our wife, our love and a shining star'.

It added: "We ask you to respect our privacy at this time."

"She was just an absolute doll since she was born," BBC News quoted Murphy's father, Angelo Bertolotti, as saying.

Brittany Murphy’s husband requests no autopsy

"Her personality was always outward. Everybody loved her, people that made movies with her, people on a cruise - they all loved her," he added.

She was rushed to the hospital after the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at the Hollywood Hills home she shared with her husband, British screenwriter Simon Monjack.

Brittany Murphy autopsy results have yielded no definite cause of death. Preliminary results from the LA coroner have been released, and there are no signs of foul play. The complete results of Brittany Murphy’s autopsy will take several weeks, pending histopathology and toxicology reports.

The actress also was not reported to have been emaciated, or showing other outward signs of malnourishment or anorexia, contrary to some speculation about what the autopsy report of Brittany might show.

Before the autopsy results for Brittany Murphy can be conclusive, it will be necessary to determine what, if any drugs were in her system. When cause of death is unknown, toxicology screening is performed. It is standard to conducts testing for infection and other causes of death, taken from tissue samples.

According to Ed Winter, a spokesman for the LA coroner's office, the autopsy of Brittany Murphy is complete, but a definite cause of death cannot yet be determined.

Brittany Murphy was taking prescription drugs for a medical illness – reportedly flu symptoms when she became increasing more ill, and started vomiting. She was found unconscious in the shower, but paramedics and hospital personnel were unable to revive the 32 year old actress, who has been so far reported to have died from natural causes, as the result of cardiac arrest. Autopsy results for Brittany Murphy will not be conclusive for weeks, but preliminarily, there were no signs of foul play, and no evidence of trauma.

Considering the number of death hoaxes that float across the Internet and Twitter, it is no wonder that a rumor has started about a Brittany Murphy death hoax. It is quite shocking to see a young, 32-year-old woman die of cardiac arrest, and rare, in fact, so a hoax would not be unheard of, but unfortunately for fans, Brittany Murphy is indeed dead.

These sorts of fake stories, such as Miley Cyrus dying (which is quite popular) or Britney Spears dying (another popular one) are quite common on Twitter or the Internet. In terms of a Brittany Murphy death hoax, it doesn't pan out.

There have been multiple reports of Brittany Murphy's death via major media outlets. There has also been a report from the LA coroner saying that the death appears to be "natural," at least for now. That came via a press conference, so a Brittany Murphy death hoax isn't possible.

Unusually, Brittany Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, said he didn't want an autopsy. However, the LA Coroner has the right to overrule, and he has in this case. The coroner has indicated that an autopsy will be performed either Monday or Tuesday.

There have been rumors about Brittany Murphy and drug use, and eating disorders fueled by that drug use, for some time. However, Murphy has previously denied any such drug use. Any such allegations are still unfounded. It is, however, strange that Monjack would request no autopsy be done, and that has raised people's suspicions, and further fueled rumors.

While those allegations are perhaps cruel, as are any Brittany Murphy death hoax rumors, there is a strange story emerging from the land of celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. According to NBC News San Diego, a San Diego radio morning show, "AJ in the Morning," interviewed Hilton earlier this month.

While discussing the Michael Jackson death from earlier this year, the host, AJ Machado, asked Hilton if he felt any other celebrities were heading down a path to an early demise, much like Jackson. The answer Perez Hilton gave was eerie: “Brittany Murphy maybe,” Hilton replied.

The final answer to how Brittany Murphy died will not be known until an autopsy is performed. It should be noted that usually a toxicology report will take considerable time, and thus any released information this week will be incomplete, said the LA coroner's office.

The cause of 32 year old actress Brittany Murphy dying of cardiac arrest on Sunday morning is still unknown. Cardiac arrest is uncommon in young adults, risks of non-congenital cardiac arrest increase with age. Some of the common causes of cardiac arrest are congenital heart defects, drugs that affect the heart rate, an electric shock or other trauma to the chest.
What is cardiac arrest?
Cardiac arrest is the medical term for a stopped heart muscle. This often occurs due to a problem with the electrical system in the heart, which causes a fatal arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is the term for a change in the heart's rhythm. Changes in the rhythm can throw the heartbeat off, and eventually lead to the heart stopping.
Young adults, such as Brittney Murphy, dying of cardiac arrest
A young adult such as Brittney Murphy, dying at age 32 of cardiac arrest, is unusual. Risk factors of smoking, family history of heart problems, a personal history of heart problems, a lack of exercise, etc. can contribute to the risks of heart failure, but in a young adult the most common explanations are congenital heart problems and substance abuse. According to the American Heart Association, heart abnormalities can be affected by adrenaline, which triggers cardiac arrest after strenuous physical activity or during stressful events. In addition, some medications, including illegal drugs such as cocaine, can cause arrhythmias, which lead to cardiac arrest.
