LONDON - Actress Brittany Murphy’s widower and British screenwriter Simon Monjack was found dead at his home in Hollywood.
According to reports, the Los Angeles fire department was called shortly after 9 p.m. Sunday to respond to “an unspecified medical aid request”. Monjack was pronounced dead after attempts to resuscitate him failed.
Police Sergeant Louie Lozano said that the cause of death was unknown.
“We have detectives at scene. They are conducting their investigation. Once we have further information, we will provide it,” the telegraph.co.uk quoted Lozano as saying.
Monjack’s death comes just five months after his wife Murphy died after collapsing in the shower. She was said to have been suffering from pneumonia with other contributing factors not directly related to the immediate cause of death including iron deficiency anaemia and multiple drug intoxication.
