New Evidence Suggests That Brittany Murphy Was Poisoned

New Evidence Suggests That Brittany Murphy Was Poisoned

The Los Angeles County Coroners Office declared in 2009 that Brittany Murphy's death was by accidental causes, but there has been some recent evidence that suggests that the actress was poisoned. The actress's father, Angelo Bertolotti, demanded that the LA Coroner do more toxicology testing but they refused. Bertolotti recently sent some hair and blood samples to the Carlson Company in Colorado and the results that came back were disturbing.

Bertolotti sent and email to the Huffington Post claiming, "Ten heavy metals were found in abnormally high quantities... These types of heavy metals/toxic elements are commonly found in rat poison, pesticides, insecticides, etc... they may have been introduced by a third party with criminal intent."

Murphy's husband Simon Monjack was found dead five months after her death. His official cause of death was the same as Murphy's: pneumonia and anemia.

Bertolotti never accepted the cause of death as fact and spoke out against the Coroner's ruling. Her told the Hollywood Reporter shortly after Murphy's death, "Vicious rumors, spread by tabloids, unfairly smeared Brittany's reputation. My daughter was neither anorexic nor a drug junkie, as they repeatedly implied. I will not rest until the truth about these tragic events is told. There will be justice for Brittany."

So who was the person who poisoned Brittany Murphy if the results from the lab in Colorado can be trusted? Was her husband poisoned as well?
