On December 20th actress Brittany Murphy passed away at the young age of 32. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter of L.A. County is in charge of the toxicology report and was still not satisfied with the information previously provided by Brittany’s husband Simon Monjack or her mother Sharon Murphy.
A former employee at Murphy’s estate told the coroner’s office that a sealed manila envelope was delivered to the Murphy home every Friday like clockwork. The envelope was filled with prescription medication and the name “Lola” appeared on the outside of the package.
The source also went on to say that while Brittany was filming in Louisiana, the envelope was shipped to her on location. The source added the fact that Monjack always tagged along when Murphy was working.
Coroner Ed Winter recently visited Monjack and Sharon Murphy with a few more questions. He wanted to understand why there are no records of Brittany seeing a doctor in the months prior to her death, especially in light of the fact that she had several serious medical conditions, including severe abdominal pain in the days prior to her death.
UPDATE: On February 4, 2010, the coroner issued a short statement indicating that the full autopsy report will be available within two weeks. He went on to say that Murphy’s death was an accident caused by a combination of pneumonia, iron deficiency anemia and “multiple drug intoxication”. See full details here.
