BREAKING: Brittany Murphy’s Husband Found Dead

Simon Monjack, the husband of late actress Brittany Murphy, was found dead Sunday night in his Hollywood Hills home, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. He was 39. The screenwriter was reportedly found by his mother-in-law, Sharon, in the master bedroom of the house he once shared with Murphy.

Officials told reporters that a 911 call for a medical emergency was placed at 9:46 PM Sunday night. When emergency responders arrived at the home, Monjack was pronounced dead. It’s unclear if medics tried to revive him.

“The preliminary cause of death is natural causes,” Sgt. Louie Lozano told the Associated Press. Another police spokesman, Sgt. Alex Ortiz, said, “We concluded there were no signs of foul play or any criminal activity involved.”

No illegal drugs were found in the house, according to Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter.

At Murphy’s funeral in December, a visibly emotional Monjack talked about their relationship and called her his best friend and soul mate. He had said that they had been planning a family and contemplating a move to New York. Source
