Simon Monjack, Brittany Murphy's husband, has called accusations that he was involved in his wife's recent death "absurd". The actress collapsed and died at home in December, and while an LA coroner said the cause of death ‘appeared natural' a toxicology report was ordered after police found a large quantity of ¬prescription drugs at the house. "We were planning a family so why would I kill her?" Monjack said when the Mirror when asked to comment on rumours that he was in some way involved in Brittany's death. Monjack went on to reveal that Murphy was diagnosed with a heart condition and took painkillers and anti-¬depressants to control her moods. "Brittany took [painkiller] Vicoprofen and [PMT drug] Sarafem five days a week before her period. She had been doing it for 10 years. Most of the drugs [found in their LA home] are mine. I suffer from seizures. I had a heart attack ¬coming back from Puerto Rico last year."
