Brittany Murphy's husband is found dead at home

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The husband of Brittany Murphy was found dead at his Los Angeles home late Sunday, five months after the Hollywood actress died, police said.

 

The preliminary cause of the death of British screenwriter Simon Monjack is natural causes, police spokesman Sgt. Louie Lozano told The Associated Press.

 

"We concluded there no signs of foul play or any criminal activity involved," said Sgt. Alex Ortiz, another police spokesman.

 

Firefighters responding to an emergency call from a woman at 9:40 p.m. found the 39-year-old Monjack dead at the Hollywood Hills residence, police spokesman Sgt. Louie Lozano said. Ortiz said he didn't know who called. Monjack and Murphy had shared their home with Murphy's mother, Sharon.

 

Ortiz said that the Los Angeles Coroner's Office was taking over the investigation because criminal activity had been ruled out, and would provide more details later on the death and circumstances surrounding it.

 

At his wife's funeral in December, a visibly emotional Monjack talked about their relationship and called her his best friend and soul mate. The two married in 2007.

 

He had said that they had been planning a family and contemplating a move to New York.

 

Monjack is credited as producer and co-writer of the 2001 film "Two Days, Nine Lives" and executive producer of the 2006 "Factory Girl."

 

Murphy, best known for her major roles in "Clueless," "Girl Interrupted," and "8 Mile" in 2002, died Dec. 20, at age 32 after collapsing in her home. The Los Angeles County coroner's office concluded Murphy's death was accidental, but likely preventable.

 

The coroner's report said that the medications found in her system were consistent with treatment of a cold or respiratory infection. Monjack and Murphy's mother had reported the actress was ill with flulike symptoms in the days before her death.

 

An autopsy found no evidence that Murphy abused drugs. Investigators had found numerous prescription medications in her home.

I like how they immediately rule out foul play as if it is impossible....

 

...something seems :tup:.....but even if it doesn't, why rule it out this fast? They should consider all possibilities right now...

Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't "foul play" considered murder? I mean, does foul play include suicide?

 

Yeah, just looks like "foul play" is something that includes violence. :wacko: The guy probably offed himself.

"probably", I just don't like it when they rule something out almost immediately...

Dang. Have to wonder if there is some sort of poisoned household item in that residence a la the Tylenol poisoning tragedy in Chicago.

 

Yeah, crap loads of alcohol, Oxy and SMR's...

I'm going to pretend I'm a doctor and say that 39-year-olds don't die of "natural causes"

The team says the 37-year-old Lima, a 13-game winner with the Dodgers in 2004, died Sunday. According to the Aguilas Cibaenas, Lima's winter ball team in the Dominican Republic, he died of an apparent heart attack.
