Brittany Murphy’s mother claims that toxic mold found in her daughter’s Hollywood home is the cause of her daughter and her son-in-law’s deaths.

Brittany died of pneumonia in 2009, and only a couple months later, her husband died as well.

According to TMZ, Brittany’s mother Sharon Murphy claims the people who built the house are to blame for the mold. In a new lawsuit, Sharon says she was misled by her lawyers and tricked into giving up her rights to sue the builders for wrongful death.

According to TMZ, Murphy’s mother says her lawyers convinced her to accept a settlement offer for the construction problems in January, but they didn’t explain that the settlement included a stipulation so that she would never be able to sue the builders for their alleged role in her daughter’s death.

Not content with this, Sharon has hired a new attorney to sue her former ones for legal malpractice and demanding they pay her what she could have won in a wrongful death suit.

When Murphy passed away two years ago at the age of 32, many speculated her death was drug or eating disorder related, however it was determined the actress died of natural causes.

Still so sad what happened to her!

Now this is just so sad!!!

Brittany Murphy’s mother Sharon still pretends that her daughter’s death never happened

She revealed that she still struggles to accept her daughter’s passing, even though she’s been gone for a year. Brittany suffered cardiac arrest on December 20, 2009 and just a short while later, her husband, Simon Monjack, also passed away.

Female First reports:

She has found it so difficult to cope on her own, every day is a battle to resume some sort of normalcy.

She tells In Touch Weekly, “Every day is difficult. It’s still a challenge to get out of bed and put one foot in front of the other.

“It’s (the two deaths are) beyond strange. Sometimes, just in order to function, I pretend it didn’t happen.”

Sharon finds comfort in reliving happier times in her life – and she insists on staying put at the Beverly Hills mansion her daughter died in because she feels closer to the late star.

She says, “I’m always remembering times with her. She would always say that we grew up together, and that’s true.

“We were so close, and such great friends… I feel their presence here. It’s comforting.”

So sad!

Brittany Murphy’s mother is set to pay tribute to her late daughter in a new biography.

The Clueless actress passed away in December 2009 from pneumonia, and the tragedy was compounded when her husband, screenwriter Simon Monjack, died just five months later.

Their passings have since been tarred by a series of salacious rumours concerning missing money and claims Murphy’s mother, Sharon, slept in the same bed as her son-in-law after the actress died.

Sharon spoke out to deny the rumours at the time and she is now hoping to silence tabloid gossip about her daughter by telling her story in a new picture book.

In a statement released on what would have been Murphy’s 33rd birthday (10Nov10), she says, “This book will be my way of celebrating and honouring her extraordinary life and career. Brittany was a kind, loving person who enjoyed each day; she was my life. I am looking forward to everyone reading the accurate account about my daughter, her life, loves and career.”

A portion of the book’s proceeds will be donated to charity.

Sharon Murphy is pretty ticked off by some internet reports suggesting that she had sex with her daughter’s husband after she passed away.

TMZ reported yesterday that the coroner’s office claimed that Sharon pointed to Simon Monjack’s bed and referred to one side as hers. Now, she’s disturbed that people put two and two together and come up with four.

TMZ has more:

In a statement, Sharon says, “I am very disturbed that the L.A. Coroners [sic] office continues to release things to the media that are misleading.”

She continues, “The TMZ story with it’s [sic] salacious headline suggesting that my prescious [sic] son-in-law Simon and I slept in bed together, infering [sic] sexual contact is journalism at its lowest.” Sharon also denies there were medications in the house prescribed to a “Sharon Monjack,” as the Coroner’s report states.

It could’ve been completely innocent, right? Or perhaps she was just lonely and sad? Maybe she wanted to take solace with the only person she felt could understand the pain she was suffering. What do you think?

According to Brittany Murphy’s former business manager, the late actresses husband Simon Monjack, may have squandered her money just before he passed in May.

Accountant Jeffrey Morgenroth tells People that her husband was spending her money like it was going out of style just before his sudden death from pneumonia and anemia (which also killed Murphy).

“There were huge amounts of money in [Brittany's] pension plan and bank account, and all of that’s gone,” Morgenroth tells the magazine. “I would see it on the statements. There was money being withdrawn by Simon, hundreds of thousands.”

In just a couple months, Morgenroth says Monjack spent 80% of Brittany’s assets, which leaves Brittany’s mom without much of anything. “She was looking at the pension statement and I said, ‘Look. There are almost no zeros there.’”

Even though the actress left her entire estate to her mother, somehow Monjack was able to get his hands on her money (even though Brittany left him nothing).

So sad!

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.

Police say the husband of deceased actress Brittany Murphy has been found dead.

The body of screenwriter Simon Monjack was found late Sunday night at his home in the Hollywood Hills, five months after the death of his wife.

Police spokesman Sgt. Louie Lozano says the preliminary cause of death is natural causes.

He tells The Associated Press that investigators are still at the scene early Monday and he does not have any more details on Monjack’s death.

Murphy died Dec. 20, after going into sudden cardiac arrest because of “drug intake,” according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office

Her death was ruled accidental, the result of pneumonia complicated by an iron deficiency, anemia and multiple drug intoxication.
