Brittany Murphy’s Mom — Shared Bed with Monjack

Brittany Murphy’s mother told investigators that she shared a bed with her daughter’s husband Simon Monjack after Brittany passed away … this according to sources close to the investigation.

The L.A. Coroner’s Office just released their report on Simon Monjack’s death.

In the report, the investigator documents an exchange with a person whose name has been withheld — but whom law enforcement sources have identified as Brittany’s mother, Sharon Murphy.

According to the report, the investigator and the unnamed person (Sharon) were going through the master bedroom in the Hollywood Hills home that Simon shared with Brittany … when (Sharon) pointed to one side of Simon’s bed and identified it as “her side of the bed.”

Sharon also told the investigator that certain prescriptions in the nightstand — bearing the names Sharon Murphy and Sharon Monjack — were also hers.

The report doesn’t suggest sexual contact between the two.

Simon Monjack’s Secret — Kids

TMZ has learned …a laptop computer has unearthed a secret Simon Monjack carried to his death — he had two kids.

Simon’s mom, brother and therapist stayed at Simon’s home last week with Brittany Murphy’s mom, Sharon Murphy.  We’re told when they left they took Simon’s laptop.

At some point they went through the computer and found emails from two women who wanted money from Simon for child support. According to people who have reviewed the emails, Simon had a son by one baby mama and a daughter by another.

Also in the computer … wire transfers of large amounts of money — as much as $48,000 in a single transfer.  Simon was sending the money to lawyers, as well as someone in Europe for some sort of settlement.

We’re told Simon’s mom and brother felt the coroner should have the computer and handed it over.  The coroner’s office is currently reviewing the contents.

Sharon went ballistic and filed a theft report with cops.

Simon Monjack delayed having heart surgery as he grieved for Brittany Murphy.

The scriptwriter – who died suddenly on Sunday (23.05.10) aged 39, just five months after his actress wife passed away last December aged just 32 – is believed to have been trying to put off a bypass operation for his condition until after a planned charity event in September for the Brittany Murphy Foundation.

His publicist Roger Neal said: “I can tell you he was excited about what the future held in terms of the legacy of Brittany Murphy. He looked fine to me.

“As far as we know he passed away of natural causes. He did have a heart condition and he was due for bypass heart surgery.”

The writer was found unconscious at the home he shared with the late ‘Clueless’ star by her mother Sharon Murphy – who also discovered Brittany’s body in the shower of the home.

Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter has previously revealed prescription drugs were found near Monjack’s body, although he has refused to give any further details.

Sharon is “devastated” to lose her son-in-law.

Roger said: “It is a very sad day for Ms. Murphy. She’s devastated. She’s a very strong woman. I don’t know how you handle something like that. She is resting. Sharon loved Simon as a son. They were a very close family.”

At the time of his passing, Simon had been setting up a charity to pay for dance and singing lessons for youngsters who can’t afford private tuition.

Roger added: “He and Sharon we both very involved in a foundation being set up to help children. He was getting ready for a whole lot of things that were very positive and very incredible… Just talking with him and Sharon, the expressions on their face, they were still sad over the loss of Brittany, which is to be expected, but he was very focused about what they were doing with this formation of the foundation and the gala and things like that.

“Brittany’s dream, as was Simon’s, was to help children who want to learn to do ballet, sing, etcetera, who couldn’t afford it. The foundation would raise money for it.”

The official cause of Monjack’s death is still to be determined. An autopsy and toxicology testing should take place in the next few days.

Simon Monjack — Possible OD

Law enforcement sources tells TMZ there are signs Simon Monjack may have died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.

One well-placed source says, “There were a number of pill bottles on the nightstand in the bedroom, and some were empty.”

There is, obviously, an eerie similarity to the death of Monjack’s wife, Brittany Murphy, just 5 months ago.  In her case an array of prescription drugs were found on the nightstand of the same bedroom where Monjack died.  Many of the drugs on Simon’s nightstand were the same as the ones found after Brittany died.

One law enforcement source says the two causes of death that seem most plausible at the moment are “natural” and “accidental drug overdose.”

Monjack told TMZ recently he had suffered a heart attack during the incident last November when he had a medical emergency aboard an airplane.

Brittany’s mother, Sharon Murphy, discovered Monjack’s body last night.  She is also the one who found her daughter, Brittany, unconscious and on the floor of the bathroom 5 months earlier.

Brittany Murphy’s widower has been found dead.

Simon Monjack – who was left devastated when his actress wife died last December aged just 32 – was discovered unconscious by Brittany’s mother Sharon at his Los Angeles home last night (23.05.10) at around 9.30pm.

She immediately dialled 911 but Simon, 39, was pronounced dead by paramedics after attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

It is believed he suffered a heart attack and his passing is being treated by Los Angeles police as unexplained.

A death investigation is now underway, according to website TMZ.

Following Brittany’s death on December 20, the British screenwriter – who was left out of her will – had spoken out about their life together saying they were planning to start a family.

He said: “She knew her career wasn’t in the best place. She was ready to kind of be a mother and that was what a lot of the talk was about.

“We were discussing children the night before she passed. We were discussing baby names. A boy would have been Oliver and a girl would have been Sophie. That was the plan, to move to New York and to start a family.”

He also revealed how he felt “vindicated” by her autopsy report after the enquiry into her death showed she had no history of drug abuse.

He said: “Although Brittany’s autopsy report was incredibly shocking and sad to the family – her mother Sharon Murphy and I both shed tears – we are vindicated in that we always said Brittany never did any kind of illegal substances and that the medication she was taking was the medication found in her system. We hope now that people will understand the legacy of Brittany Murphy and the incredible body of work of Brittany Murphy.

“I am so sad that we are living in a culture of rumour and I just wish that people would understand that sometimes out of every tragedy can come some good”

Brittany Murphy

Brittany Murphy’s husband and mother were questioned by coroners at their home yesterday (03.02.10).

The late ‘Clueless’ actress’ spouse Simon Monjack and her mum Sharon Murphy – who lived with the couple in Los Angeles – were visited by Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter and queried about the circumstances surrounding the 32-year-old star’s death on December 20.

Leaving the building, he told TMZ: “The investigation is continuing. The family is very cooperative and we will continue with our investigation.

“They were able to fill in some questions that we had involving the case. But I really can’t comment on it.

“We actually interviewed them together.”

Brittany is believed to have died from a suspected cardiac arrest, but her death certificate lists the cause of her death as “deferred” and the manner of death as “pending investigation”.

Following her passing, there has been much speculation about Brittany’s use of prescription drugs and weight issues.

Ten different types of medication were confiscated from her bedroom after she was found collapsed in the shower.

It is believed the coroner paid the pair a visit to find out more information after being unsatisfied the toxicology report – which has not yet been released – told the full story.

This news comes shortly after it was claimed the coroners had been warned prescription medications used to arrive at the property every week, addressed to someone called ‘Lola’.

The gossip website reports: “Sources tell TMZ a man who worked at Brittany Murphy’s house has told the Coroner’s Office that someone would deliver a sealed, manila envelope to the house every Friday filled with prescription medications in bottles. The name on the envelope – ‘Lola.’

“The ex-employee told the coroner drugs were also mailed from Los Angeles to Louisiana – where Brittany was shooting a movie and Simon was tagging along – in the months before she died.”

The official cause of death is due to be announced shortly, when toxicology test results come back and the autopsy report will be released.

The late ‘Clueless’ actress’ spouse, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, has spoken out about his beloved wife – who died of a cardiac arrest at her Los Angeles home aged just 32 on Sunday (20.12.09) – and his devastation at her passing.

He said: “My world was destroyed yesterday.”

Simon also revealed life had been normal for the pair until she was found collapsed in the shower surrounded by her own vomit, although Brittany had been suffering from a sore throat recently.

Recalling how her lifeless body was discovered, he explained to ‘Access Hollywood’: “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 rumours 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 also praised his wife’s ex-boyfriend Ashton Kutcher’s moving tribute to the actress.

He added: “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 (21.12.09).

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office is waiting for the results of toxicology tests before they release the autopsy report.

Yesterday (21.12.09), Los Angeles chief coroner Ed Winter – who investigated into the death of pop star Michael Jackson – insisted the autopsy concluded her passing was not caused by drugs.

The toxicology and neurological results are expected to take up to six weeks to come back.

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.

The document stated: “A check of the nightstands revealed large amounts of prescription medication in the decedent’s name. Also noted were numerous empty prescription medication bottles in the decedent’s husband’s name, the decedent’s mother’s name and unidentified third party names.”
