The Department of Public Health has started to investigate the possibility that the deaths of Brittany Murphy & Simon Monjack could be due to mold found in their home.

The mold was found after Brittany’s death but investigators determined it not to be a factor. However, since Brittany’s husband Simon Monjack died on May 23, they are now considering that mold may have actually been a cause.

Brittany Murphy’s mother Sharon finds this whole idea absurd and had this to say about it.

“I have never been personally asked by the coroner or anyone from the Health Department to come and inspect my home for mold,” Sharon told the mag. “In the last eight months, I have been through the most unimaginable events, which no one could ever fathom. I have and will continue to be very cooperative and fully comply with any such request.”

Adding, “It’s absurd that this kind of misinformation is being reported by the media.”

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Simon Monjack died from pneumonia and severe anemia and Murphy’s cause of death was determined to be anemia, pneumonia and multiple drug intoxication (including prescription medications, not illegal drugs) and was officially ruled an accident.

Personally I don’t think mold was a factor, but I guess anything is possible.
