The actress died of cardiac arrest. What the fuck?!

Holy Crap, really? I mean, I never cared for her as an actress outside of Clueless but still, wow.

[Guest]

I hope I'm wrong, but if this was drugs, then I really can't be sad about it.

People just don't have heart attacks at 32.

Yeah, even in wrestling they usually wit until mid to late 30's.

Seriously, what the hell? I always liked her work, its crazy that she's gone so young.

[JackFetch]

She had a lot of problems. She was recently fired from a film for her behavior. My guess is drugs.

[Dread]

Sad.

[SuaveStar]

Fuck.

She was awesome in Sin City and actually looked hot, but she could play ditzy with the best of them.

Had "flu-like" symptoms before her death and doctors say natural causes.

The husband of Brittany Murphy was found dead at his Los Angeles home late Sunday, five months after the Hollywood actress died, police said.

Firefighters responding to an emergency call found British screenwriter Simon Monjack dead at the Hollywood Hills residence, police spokesman Sgt. Louie Lozano said.

The preliminary cause of the 39-year-old Monjack's death is natural causes, Lozano said.

"We concluded there no signs of foul play or any criminal activity involved," said Sgt. Alex Ortiz, another police spokesman.

Ortiz said that the Los Angeles Coroner's Office was taking over the investigation because criminal activity had been ruled out, and would provide more details later on the death and circumstances surrounding it.

Firefighters rushed to the home after receiving a call from a female occupant at 9:40 p.m. Sunday, but Ortiz said he didn't know who then name of the caller.

At his wife's funeral in December, a visibly emotional Monjack talked about their relationship and called her his best friend and soul mate. The two married in 2007.

He had said that they had been planning a family and contemplating a move to New York.

Monjack is credited as producer and co-writer of the 2001 film "Two Days, Nine Lives" and executive producer of the 2006 "Factory Girl."

Murphy, best known for her major roles in "Clueless," "Girl Interrupted," and "8 Mile" in 2002, died Dec. 20, at age 32 after collapsing in her home. The Los Angeles County coroner's office concluded Murphy's death was accidental, but likely preventable.

That's just weird. They need to check their house for molds, radon, and anything else that can kill people.

Seven months after her untimely death, sordid details of Brittany Murphy's troubled life and marriage continue to emerge. Her former business manager, Los Angeles-based accountant Jeffrey Morgenroth, tells PEOPLE that her husband Simon Monjack was squandering the late movie star's fortune just before his own sudden death in May from pneumonia and anemia, which also killed Murphy.

"There were huge amounts of money in [brittany's] pension plan and bank account, and all of that's gone," Morgenroth tells the magazine. "I would see it on the statements. There was money being withdrawn by Simon, hundreds of thousands."

Morgenroth says Monjack had spent nearly 80 percent of the 32-year-old star's assets in the months between her death and his, rattling the financial future of Murphy's mom, according to PEOPLE.

The actress left her entire estate to her 57-year-old mother Sharon Murphy, who was close to both her daughter and son-in-law, and no money to her husband.

"She was looking at the pension statement and I said, 'Look. There are almost no zeros there,'" Morgenroth said of Sharon Murphy. "She needs guidance on how to deal with things."

Morgenroth didn't immediately respond to PopEater's requests for comment.

High-profile women's rights lawyer Gloria Allred, who isn't involved in the Murphys' financial dealings, said it's best for the rich and famous to leave money matters to the professionals to avoid being taken advantage of.

"It's important for women celebrities and women in general to handle their own money and their own business affairs," Allred told PopEater. "Mixing love and money can cause problems, and there are danger signs if a celebrity is isolated from family and friends."

Murphy died after collapsing in her bathroom on Dec. 20. Five months later, her British film producer husband was found dead in the couple's home at the age of 40.

Autopsies confirmed the causes of death for both were pneumonia and anemia, with multiple drug intoxication also blamed in Murphy's case. The coroner said she had over-the-counter cold medicines and the pain killer Vicodin in her system.

Reports that household "black mold" may have been a culprit in the couple's deaths have been disputed by Murphy's mother and the Los Angeles Department of Health.

Since the pair's controversial marriage in 2007, reports have swirled about Monjack's controlling behavior over Murphy, his shady financial dealings and their alleged drug abuse.

Morgenroth says Monjack took his wife's cell phone away and wouldn't let her see him when he came to the door to ask her to sign tax forms, according to PEOPLE.

"The excuse was her hair was messed up," he said. "I was at the front door and Brittany [called down] and said, 'Hi Jeff, sorry I couldn't see you, bye.' It sounded fishy and weird."

Murphy was reportedly fired from the last film she made, 'The Caller,' because she refused to send away a drunk and combative Monjack when he appeared on the set unannounced and disrupted filming.

Monjack also was implicated in a credit card fraud case, charges that were brought in Virginia and ultimately dropped. He spent just over a week in jail in early 2007 for letting his work visa lapse. In 2006, a $500,000 judgment against him was handed down in a lawsuit brought by a financial investment company in England.

His mother Linda Monjack denies that he blew through his dead wife's savings.

"He didn't get much, maybe a few hundred dollars, and he paid off his debts with it," she tells PEOPLE. "He was spending his time crying his eyes out most of the time. He was in a terrible state."

While Monjack's behavior after his wife's death has come under increased scrutiny, it seems his mom is also not immune. Jeannette Bycott, an assistant to Morgenroth, tells PEOPLE that she saw Linda Monjack order Murphy's mother out of their house in a bizarre scene.

"Linda started acting like everything belongs to her," says Bycott. "Before Sharon could say anything, Linda stated the house was now hers."
