Mold Ruled Out As Cause Of Murphy/Monjack Deaths
Los Angeles County coroner's officials have ruled out reports mold played a role in the deaths of actress Brittany Murphy and her husband Simon Monjack.
The authorities briefly examined whether toxic mold played a part in the deaths of the couple, who died five months apart - and quickly ruled it out.
Ed Winter, the coroner's assistant, tells the Los Angeles Times, "There were no indicators that either death was related to mold."
Both Murphy and Monjack died of pneumonia combined with anemia.
Over the weekend, the Clueless star's mother Sharon dismissed the "absurd" reports suggesting mold in her daughter's marital home may have contributed to the untimely deaths of the actress and her husband.
She says, "It's absurd that this kind of misinformation is being reported by the media."

More Mystery Regarding Death Of Brittany Murphy’s Husband
The mystery surrounding Brittany Murphy's widow Simon Monjack has just doubled after it emerged the producer and writer left a strange message on his own cell phone answer machine before he died last month in May 2010.
Investigators found the eerie message, left on the day Monjack died, in his voicemail on his phone. In it, he says, "I need to go to the hospital. I have a fever."
Later on in the recording, obtained by TMZ.com, Murphys' mother Sharon can be heard saying, "Tell them you have a fever." It's unclear who 'them' is.
The cause of Monjack's death has yet to be determined.
Last week, Monjack's mother accused Sharon of ignoring her pleas to call a doctor in the hours before the filmmaker's death.
Sharon Murphy found the director unconscious at the Hollywood Hills home he once shared with his late wife. Paramedics determined he had suffered a cardiac arrest and pronounced him dead at the scene.
Monjack's mother Linda claims she pleaded with his ex-mother-in-law to get Monjack medical help because she was so concerned about him on the night before he passed away.
She told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "I'd pleaded with Sharon over and over during those last hours to get medical help, to get him to a hospital, but she didn't... I'd call and he wasn't even able to respond. It was at this point that I demanded to speak to Sharon, and I told her, 'Please, please call the doctor. Get him to hospital. Please just get him some help'. She told me that she'd 'been through this before' and that Simon was over the worse."
Sharon Murphy's publicist, Roger Neal, has slammed Monjack's accusations, insisting she did everything she could to help the filmmaker.
Brittany Murphy’s Husband Found Dead
BRITTANY MURPHY's widower SIMON MONJACK has been found dead in the Los Angeles home he once shared with the tragic actress.Murphy's mum Sharon is said to have called emergency services on Sunday night (23May2010) after finding the screenwriter unconscious in the master bedroom of the Hollywood Hills property where the Clueless star died in December (09). He is believed to have suffered a cardiac arrest.
Resuscitation efforts failed and he was pronounced dead at the scene, according to ETOnline.com.
Sergeant Louie Lozano of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) tells the website, "We have detectives at (the) scene. They are conducting their investigation."
The L.A. coroner ruled in February that Murphy died after from pneumonia, complicated by anaemia and multiple drug intoxication.
She is said to have gone into cardiac arrest at the house she shared with Monjack and Sharon, and was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on December 20, 2010.
UPDATE:
LAPD spokesman Sergeant Alex Ortiz tells the Associated Press, "We concluded there (were) no signs of foul play or any criminal activity involved."
But new reports emerging in Los Angeles suggest Monjack might have suffered a drug overdose. Officials have confirmed prescription medication was found at the property, and a source tells TMZ.com, "There were a number of pill bottles on the nightstand in the bedroom, and some were empty."
L.A. County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter insists the cause of Monjack's death won't be known until after a post-mortem examination and toxicology tests are carried out.
He says, "Mr. Monjack was found unresponsive, paramedics responded to the house, he was pronounced dead at 9.45pm (on) Sunday. 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. And I ask that you give the family some privacy at this point on."
Several stars have spoken out to pay tribute to the tragic moviemaker. In a post on her Twitter.com page, Lindsay Lohan writes, "R.I.P Simon Monjack," while pop star-turned-actor Luke Goss, who worked with Monjack early in his movie career, adds, "Simon shared his love of film with all of us on set. He gave me my first role in film and has remained a friend ever since. I am deeply saddened by his untimely death."

Simon Monjack Shocked By Wife’s Cause Of Death
Brittany Murphy's widower Simon Monjack was stunned to learn the actress died of pneumonia, aided by anemia and drug intoxication - because he was convinced a heart defect killed his wife.A coroner's report determined the Clueless star died accidentally on December 20, 2009 after contracting pneumonia and suffering iron deficiency condition anemia.
Officials also ruled "multiple drug intoxication" played a role in her death, but confirmed no illegal drugs were found in her system.
Monjack admits he struggled to accept the pneumonia report - because he believed Murphy's death was due to a congenital heart murmur she was diagnosed with in her teens.
He tells People.com, "Everything (surprised me and Brittany's mom about the report). I expected (the cause of death) to be her heart.
"She wasn't coughing up. I've had pneumonia and coughed up handfuls of spittle. So yeah, everything surprised us, everything."
And Monjack, who married Murphy in 2007, admits he's relieved to have answers following the sudden tragedy, adding, "Case closed. As the coroner said, there's no foul play."

Who Trusts Brittany Murphy’s Husband?
Brittany Murphy's husband has spoken out to dismiss rumors the late actress was taking a cocktail of prescription drugs before her sudden death - insisting none of her medications could have "endangered" her.The Clueless star passed away on Sunday (12/20/09) after suffering a cardiac arrest at her Hollywood Hills home, aged just 32.
Documents from the Los Angeles County Coroner's office - leaked online this week - alleged officials found a variety of prescription pills in her home, including anti-seizure medication Topamax, Fluoxetine, which is used to treat depression, anti-anxiety medication Ativan, pain reliever Vicoprofen, and Propranolol, used to treat hypertension.
Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, has revealed the star was diagnosed with a heart murmur, but the condition was not life-threatening and she was not taking any medication to treat it.
He's adamant Murphy was not popping any pills apart from painkillers to treat menstrual cramps. She was also using herbal remedies and cough syrup.
Monjack says, "She was on herbal remedies, that wouldn't speed up her heart. There was nothing here that could endanger her, there was prescription medication in the house for her 'female time' and some cough syrup. That was it."
Officials have stated they believe the star died from natural causes, but the release of results from an autopsy, which was completed on Monday, has been "deferred" pending toxicological results.
Monjack was initially reluctant for a post-mortem examination to be carried out on his wife's body, but insists he was not trying to hinder the investigation - he just couldn't bear the thought of his loved one being "cut open."
He adds, "My initial reaction to the autopsy was they are going to cut her open. I could not bear it. That would break her mother, but we realised we needed to know."
