On Thursday, Los Angeles coroner's office revealed that British screenwriter Simon Monjack died ‘just like’ his wife, actress Brittany Murphy. The shocking revelation has made people remember the couple again.
According to officials, Monjack suffered acute pneumonia and died on May 23, just five months after his wife passed away from the same illness. Brittany died last December of pneumonia, with anaemia. She was 32.
The British screenwriter was found dead at the couple's Hollywood home on May 23 by Sharon Murphy, mother of Brittany Murphy. The reports suggested that not so famous writer was suffering from the inflammatory condition, as well as severe anaemia.
Los Angeles' Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said, "Just like Brittany." He also informed that some prescription drugs were found in the 40-year-old's body, but not at lethal levels.
At the request of Monjack's family, another test is to be conducted before the full autopsy report is released.
Meanwhile, Sharon expressed her ‘relief’ and has welcomed the findings. She is happy that the reports will end up all false spectulations of drugs overdose.
Sharon Murphy quoted, "I am still in shock and mourning over the deaths of my daughter Brittany and son-in-law Simon. It is with great relief that Simon's preliminary autopsy findings have been released, so the media speculation can stop. As I was sure of, just like my daughter Brittany, there was no kind of drug overdose.”
