Brittany Murphy's husband dies from same causes

Striking similarities between both deaths.

THE WIDOWER OF late actress Brittany Murphy died from the same cause as his wife, TMZ reports.

Simon Monjack, 39, died from acute pneumonia and severe anaemia, according to the LA County Coroner. He died on 23 May.

Ms Murphy, 32, died five months ago after being discovered unconscious in the couple’s LA home by her mother, Sharon. Monjack was also found at the couple’s home by Sharon Murphy.

An inquest into Ms Murphy’s death showed she died from a combination of pneumonia, anaemia and multiple drug intoxications. The coroner ruled her death an accident, saying the drugs in her system were used to treat a respiratory infection.

Mr Monjack was a British screenwriter, who wrote the Sienna Miller film Factory Girl.
