LOS ANGELES (BNO NEWS) — Screenwriter Simon Monjack, the husband of the late actress Brittany Murphy, was found dead at his home in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, law enforcement sources told BNO News on early Monday. He was 39.
Emergency services responded to his Hollywood Hills home shortly before 9.30 p.m. local time following a 911 call. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
The source - who did not want to be identified - said Monjack’s relatives had not been notified yet.
Further details were not immediately available, including the cause of death.
Monjack had been speaking of health problems in an interview earlier this year, saying he was taking a lot of medication. “Most of the drugs are mine. I suffer from seizures. I had a heart attack coming back from Puerto Rico last year,” he told the Daily Mirror.
Monjack married actress Brittany Murphy in May 2007 during a private Jewish ceremony in Los Angeles. Murphy passed away on December 20 at their Los Angeles home. She died of pneumonia complicated by an iron deficiency, anemia and multiple drug intoxication.
