The British screenwriter husband of the late Brittany Murphy has been found dead after a suspected heart attack. Despite paramedics attempts to resuscitate him, Monjack died at the Hollywood home he had shared with the actress...

It comes just five months after the passing of actress Murphy, who died of a cardiac arrest. An inquest into her death found the 32-year-old had died from pneumonia, anemia and multiple drug intoxication - something Monjack had always denied. Prescription pills had been found all over her house after her death, some of which had been written out for Monjack and Murphey's mother.

Some claimed that 39-year-old Monjack had attempted to profit from Murphy's death, planning to charge people $1,000 to pay tribute to the actress which would go to the 'Brittany Murphy Foundation' he had set up. But he closed down the foundation's website when it was discovered that it wasn't registered as a charity and there was no record of the organisation as a nonprofit group.

Police at his Hollywood home said:

“We have detectives at [the] scene. They are conducting their investigation. Once we have further information, we will provide it.”
