Simon Monjack, husband of Brittany Murphy, dies of heart attack

[hah]

The British scriptwriter Simon Monjack has died of a heart attack at his home in Los Angeles, where five months ago his wife, the actor Brittany Murphy, also passed away. Murphy's mother, Sharon, apparently called the emergency services last night after finding Monjack unconscious in the bedroom. But, according to ETOnline.com, resuscitation efforts failed and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Monjack's biggest success was with the film Factory Girl, the story of socialite Edie Sedgwick, and her friendship with Andy Warhol, which starred Sienna Miller. He also wrote and directed Two Days, Nine Lives, a 2001 drama starring Luke Goss.

Monjack, who was 39, had previously told of his cardiac trouble, telling one interviewer after his wife's death: "I suffer from seizures. I had a heart attack coming back from Puerto Rico last year."

Murphy, 32, died of cardiac arrest in December, and was ruled by the LA county coroner in February to have died of pneumonia, complicated by an iron deficiency, anaemia and "multiple drug intoxication".
