Brittany Murphy's husband to be quizzed over her death as he says: My world's destroyed

Brittany Murphy's British husband is to be questioned over her death at the age of 32.

Simon Monjack is one of several people who will be interviewed by the authorities about Murphy's final hours.

Last night screenwriter Monjack, 39, said his world had been destroyed by the death of his wife.

Speaking for the first time since the actress died on Sunday, he told Access Hollywood – a celebrity TV show and website – that the day she collapsed in her bathroom had been just a ‘regular day’.

Sharon (her mother) went into the bathroom because she had been in there a long time. Her mom screamed for me and I ran. Then called 911,' he said.

‘My world was destroyed yesterday.'

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. He hit out at suggestions that his presence in her life had had a negative impact.

'I don’t know why anyone would think that,' he said.

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

Mr Monjack, who is from North London, said he had been touched by the messages of support he had received since his wife’s death.

Adding that he was particularly moved by her ex boyfriend Ashton Kutcher’s tribute posted on Twitter, which read: ‘2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon. see you on the other side kid.’

Mr Monjack said: ‘I loved what Ashton wrote on Twitter. It was comforting to me. I couldn’t have said it better.’

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'.
