Simon Monjack, the British husband of Brittany Murphy, is to be questioned by the police over the death of the actress. Mr Monjack is one of many people that will be interviewed by authorities over the actresses last hours before she was found unconscious in the bathroom of her LA home.

Speaking for the first time since Murphy’s death screenwriter Monjack, 39, said his world had been destroyed by the death of his wife. He told Access Hollywood – a celebrity TV show and website – that the day she collapsed in her bathroom had been just a ‘regular day’.

He added that, “Murphy’s mother Sharon went into the bathroom because she was taking too long and found her unconscious on the floor. She screamed for me and I ran to the bathroom. Then called 911”.

Miss Murphy had been ill in the days leading up to her death and had seen a doctor, confirmed Mr Monjack.

‘She had laryngitis. She had been tired at the end of the year. She had made a couple movies,’ he said.

‘She found love. We found love. Brittany didn’t get to where Brittany was with anyone controlling her. Brittany was Brittany.’

Speculation is mounting that anorexia may have played a role in Miss Murphy’s death.

The U.S. star, who is thought to have suffered a heart attack, was pictured looking painfully thin just two-and-a-half weeks ago at a fashion event in Los Angeles.

She even admitted at the time that she was a little concerned about her weight.

She reportedly told FOX News: ‘I am a bit thinner now than I would like to be’.

Some guests at the Tt Collection Pop-Up Party claimed she also appeared ‘unsteady on her feet’.
