Brittany Murphy's Husband, Simon Monjack, found Dead In Hollywood Hill home

Five months after the sudden death of actress Brittany Murphy, her widower, Simon Monjack, has been found dead in the very same Los Angeles home in which she died.

The Los Angeles County coroner's office confirmed early Monday morning that the 39-year-old screenwriter died shortly after emergency services received a 911 call at 9:24 p.m. PT Sunday night.

"We have detectives at scene," Sgt. Louie Lozano told the Los Angeles 
 Times. "They are conducting their investigation. Once we have further information, we will provide it."

Monjack was pronounced dead by emergency personnel. Although the exact cause of death is still unknown, police said it appears to be natural causes.

Back in December, Monjack's wife died of pneumonia complicated by an iron deficiency, anemia and multiple drug intoxication. The two had been married since 2007.
