(7/13)

We're now starting to approach more curiosities with regards specifically to Simon Monjack's death; before we do jump right over to that side of things, it should be noted that I came across reference 36 while looking at Julia Davis' blog. Julia Davis being the person who is/was working with Angelo Bertolotti in trying to figure out what happened to Brittany and Simon, it is important to now look at what she presents in her blog.

Debunking media lies about Brittany Murphy’s death

Brittany Murphy’s death continues to be the topic of rumor, innuendo and outright fabrications, even years after her untimely demise. Let’s examine some of the most outrageous lies surrounding this ongoing saga.

 

The Daily Mail claimed: Brittany Murphy “was addicted to prescription drugs and was in a sedated state,” “the combination of drugs in Miss Murphy’s system might have contributed to her death.”

In reality, Brittany Murphy’s autopsy revealed that prescription medications were present in her body in therapeutic and sub-therapeutic levels and did not contribute to her death, as Coroner Craig Harvey admitted in this interview.

If Brittany Murphy was in fact a deeply sedated drug addict, blood analysis would have shown high levels of medications/narcotics in her blood. That was clearly not the case. Brittany Murphy’s autopsy reflects that she had “no history of alcohol or drug abuse.”

Note the title of the Daily Mail article linked in the above section: (herein reference 41)

[41. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2716933/Death-Clueless-star-Brittany-Murphy-prevented-mother-called-ambulance-24-hours-earlier.html | https://archive.is/VSdmZ]:

Death of Clueless star Brittany Murphy could have been prevented if her mother called an ambulance 24 hours earlier

"Clueless star"

[40]:

The Huffington Post speculated that Brittany Murphy had an “eating disorder” and opined that her “scarily low weight” contributed to her “fatal heart attack.”

In reality, Brittany Murphy’s autopsy described her body as “well-developed, normally muscular and slim but not excessively thin.” She did not die of a heart attack, nor did she pass away because of anorexia or bulimia.

Excerpts from the Huffington Post article linked above:

Brittany Murphy spent years denying eating disorder allegations but even she worried about her scarily low weight in the weeks leading up to her death.

"I am a bit thinner now than what I would like to be," Murphy, 32, admitted to Fox News’ Pop Tarts at an event December 3. Then: "I was a ballerina for a long time. I still take ballet lessons now - what it does to your body is incredible."

"I’m the same size I was in Clueless; it’s just that the weight in your face changes as you grow and get older," she said. "This is my body. I’m proud of it ... I’m healthy."

~

Murphy’s mother told paramedics that her daughter suffered from diabetes. If true, this could have played into any body image problems as many young female diabetics use the dangerous practice of skipping insulin injections to control their weight.

While Murphy repeatedly denied the drug allegations that plagued her career, those around her paint a different picture. "She had too many drugs and too little food," one of her makeup artists told the Daily Beast.

Murphy was looking more frail than ever at her last public appearance. Nutritional deprivation, especially coupled with vomiting, which Murphy was experiencing at the time of her death, can result in potassium levels low enough to cause cardiac arrest.

[40]:

The Daily Mail claimed: "Murphy was so frightened of the paparazzi outside her home she had turned into a social recluse and was reluctant to receive medical help when she first started having trouble breathing."

This claim is patently false. Brittany Murphy never refused medical treatment. In fact, she made an appointment with her doctor, but died one day before the scheduled visit. Furthermore, Brittany Murphy was never "frightened of the paparazzi," in fact “she thought of the tabloids and paparazzi as a family member, a weird cousin.” Brittany was also extremely friendly and receptive towards her fans.

Brittany Murphy's and Simon Monjack's legitimate fears had absolutely nothing to do with fans or paparazzi.

The Daily Mail claimed: Brittany Murphy "turned into a social recluse." Brittany had given her last interview shortly before her death, did not shy away from anyone and certainly did not appear "sedated."

Note that in the above section, both mentions of "The Daily Mail claimed" are in reference to the same article linked in the first section of JD's blog(quoted at the top of this comment); [41].

Note also that in "her last interview", while Brittany did not appear sedated/intoxicated, she did appear tired, disoriented and disjointed by her illness/ailments and possibly in part due to the medications she was taking in therapeutic/sub-therapeutic amounts. Indeed, she exhibits behaviors that are in line with deductions regarding pneumonia(shortness of breath; reduced oxygen to the brain), anemia and high-concentrations of in vivo heavy-metals

[40]:

The Daily Mail claimed: "there is evidence the poor condition of her home" – "a place of unhealthiness," "poor housing conditions like that is likely to have had a debilitating effect and contributed to her infection and death," "she was apparently living in appalling conditions."

To substantiate these lame claims, The Daily Mail used blurry photos of Brittany’s bathroom, where various beauty products were displayed in plain sight. The photos were taken 4 months after Brittany’s death and aren't sufficient to conclusively determine how the bathroom looked when Brittany was alive.

In reality, Brittany Murphy did not live in squalor, or in "appalling conditions" that could cause her to get infections and die. It's worth mentioning that Sharon Murphy (Brittany Murphy's mother) is a two-time cancer survivor. Sharon did not get any infections from the allegedly "dirty" house, where she continued to live for quite some time after Brittany and Simon died months apart.~

Again, "The Daily Mail claimed" refers to [41] in the above section.

[40]:

~Contrary to the false allegation that Brittany Murphy and Simon Monjack were living in appalling conditions, County of Los Angeles, Department of Coroner Investigator's Narrative states: "The home is nicely kept."

Best Daily went an extra mile and falsely claimed that Brittany Murphy "boarded up" her windows. This claim is patently untrue.

Note that the author of the Best Daily article couldn't even get Sharon Murphy's surname correct:

Clueless star Brittany Murphy was "paranoid" and lived like a recluse in her dirty Hollywood mansion - a shocking new documentary claims.

Her mother Sharon Monjack said in the days before her death the Hollywood actress was "paranoid" and lived a "completely mad" existence with her husband British filmmaker Simon Monjack.

[40]:

~The Daily Mail claimed the presence of "fungi in the mould growing on her walls and poorly ventilated rooms." The house was inspected not long prior to Brittany Murphy's death and no mold was found. In fact, The Daily Mail previously reported that the house was inspected and found not to have a mold problem.~

"The Daily Mail claimed" is again [41]. "The Daily Mail previously reported" is listed in this entry as reference 36(found in comment 5).

[40]:

Another important detail that was never mentioned by Dr. Richard Shepherd is that Simon Monjack was dead for approximately five (5) hours, before Sharon Murphy called 911.

In fact, Simon's mother repeatedly pleaded with Sharon Murphy to take him to the hospital or to call 911, as she could tell he was dangerously ill. Instead, Sharon reportedly told Simon she was calling for an ambulance, but instead dialed Simon's own telephone number and handed him the phone. Simon's voice can be heard on tape, saying "I need to go to the hospital." Sharon Murphy's voice directs Simon, "Tell them you have a ... fever."

From above-linked article:

Linda has a mobile phone recording which she says was made by Simon in his final hours, as he lay dying in his wife's Hollywood mansion where he still lived with Brittany's mother, Sharon Murphy.

Barely comprehensible, his speech drawn out and slurred, he can just about be heard saying he is sick and needs to go to hospital. His mother-in-law can be heard saying that he should tell the doctor he had a temperature of 104F.

But he never received the medical help he needed. Linda still cannot bear to listen to the recording.

'I'd pleaded with Sharon over and over during those last hours to get medical help, to get him to a hospital, but she didn't,' she weeps.

However, this allegation is strongly denied by Sharon Murphy's publicist, who insists that Sharon did try to help the son-in-law she loved.

The whole blog page(+ all links) is worth reading, but, I'll skip some of it ahead.
