Brittany Murphy’s husband speaks out while autopsy results not revealing
(HMG) – The late Brittany Murphy’s husband, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, has spoken out about his beloved wife, after her sudden death of a cardiac arrest at her Los Angeles home aged just 32 on Sunday, and his devastation at her passing.
He tells Access Hollywood‘ in an interview: “My world was destroyed yesterday.”
Simon also revealed that Sunday morning started out as a “regular day” until his wife’s mother Sharon, found Brittany unconscious in the bathroom:
Recalling how her lifeless body was discovered, he explained: “Her mother Sharon went into the bathroom because she had been in there a long time. Her mom screamed for me and I ran. Then I called 911.
“She had laryngitis. She had been tired at the end of the year. She had made a couple of movies.”
Simon has also denied rumors Brittany had been mixing with “controlling” people.
He explained: “I don’t know why anyone would think that. She found love. We found love. Brittany didn’t get to where Brittany was with anyone controlling her… Brittany was Brittany.”
Simon added that he was comforted by the outpouring of support from the Hollywood community. “I loved what Ashton [Kutcher] wrote on Twitter,” Simon said despite not knowing his wife’s former boyfriend.
“I loved what Ashton Kutcher wrote on twitter. It was comforting to me. I couldn’t have said it better.”
Ashton had previously written: “2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband, and her amazing mother Sharon. see you on the other side kid.”
Following the actress’ death, it was reported Simon didn’t want Brittany to have an autopsy – which was completed yesterday. In 2005, Murphy denied widespread rumors that she had an eating disorder or that her weight loss was due to cocaine use. News reports recalled Murphy’s emaciated appearance in recent weeks and TMZ reported there was “a significant amount of vomit” in the bathroom area. As speculation mounted that prescription drugs or anorexia may have played a part in Murphy’s death at age 32, the Los Angeles coroner’s office said autopsy results revealed there were no signs of trauma. Police said no foul play was suspected. In notes written by the Investigator Blacklock from the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office, Brittany’s bedroom was filled with “large amounts” of tablets and empty pill packets, including: Topamax (anti-seizure medication also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression), Klonopin (anxiety), Carbamazepine (treats diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar medication), Ativan (anxiety), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain). The toxicology and neurological results are expected to take up to six weeks to come back.
