Brittany Murphy’s husband says that the claims he is reading about being involved in the actress’s death as “absurd”.
Screenwriter Simon Monjack said that “unkind” accusations surrounding the tragedy were extraordinarily hurtful. “We were planning a family.. so why would I kill her?” the 39-year-old asked.
Murphy died December 20 after collapsing at the Hollywood home they shared with mother Sharon. Police found a large quantity of prescription drugs at the house and no one is quite certain whose they are or where they came from. Speculations have run rampant the past weeks..
Monjack told the Sunday Mirror that Murphy, who was diagnosed with a heart condition, took painkillers and anti-depressants to control her moods.
“Brittany took Vicoprofen andSarafem five days a week before her period. She had been doing it for 10 years. Most of the drugs are mine. I suffer from seizures. I had a heart attack coming back from Puerto Rico last year,” he said.
