Simon Monjack Buried Next to Brittany
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Obituaries,
Simon Monjack was laid to rest next to his late wife Brittany Murphy yesterday.
The British screenwriter - who passed away suddenly last Sunday - was buried following an emotional orthodox Jewish service at the Chapel of the Hills in Sunland. His remains were then committed to the ground at Los Angeles’ Forest Lawn Memorial Park just five months after his late actress spouse.
Family spokesman Roger Neal said, “It was Simon’s wish to be laid to rest next to her.”
Around 75 friends and family members paid tribute to Simon at the private ceremony, where Brittany’s mother Sharon Murphy - who lived with her son-in-law - and his mother Linda spoke to the crowd. Roger said, “Sharon was very strong and spoke about how much she loved Simon, and how now Simon and Brittany are together. She told them, ‘I’ll miss you my babies.’”

Prescription drugs were found close to Simon Monjack’s body.
The British screenwriter - whose wife Brittany Murphy died in December aged just 32 - was discovered “unresponsive” in the bedroom of his Hollywood home last night and Los Angeles coroners are currently investigating why the 39-year-old passed away.
Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said, “There were some prescription drugs found that belonged to Mr. Monjack, and we’ll have an ongoing investigation. Cause of death is pending, and there will be an autopsy after a day or so, and pending toxicology reports, we’ll be releasing the results after we get all those tests back. The family is devastated at this time, and it is under investigation.”
According to the coroner, Simon’s body was found in the master bedroom and there “were no illicit drugs location - just prescription medications,” though he declined to say what they were. Simon’s death will not be investigated by police as there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his passing.

Brittany Murphy’s Husband Found Dead
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Obituaries,
UPDATE: TMZ reports that it was Brittany’s mother who found Simon unconscious in his bedroom.
Almost exactly five months after Brittany Murphy’s death, Simon Monjack, the actress’ husband, has passed away.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, medics were called to Simon’s Hollywood Hills home Sunday night for an unspecified medical situation. Attempts to revive Monjack were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
No possible cause or manner of death have been provided at this time. “They are conducting their investigation. Once we have further information, we will provide it,” Sgt. Louie Lozano stated.
It was on December 20, 2009 when medics were called to the same residence. That was when Murphy, who was discovered unconscious in the shower by her mother, was pronounced dead on arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. It was later determined that Murphy had died as a result of pneumonia, with secondary factors of iron-deficiency anemia and multiple drug intoxication.
