In an eerie last interview, Brittany confessed she shared concerns about her frail frame.
"I am a bit thinner now than what I would like to be," Murphy admitted to Fox News' Pop Tarts at an event just days before her tragic death Sunday. "I was a ballerina for a long time. I still take ballet lessons now - what it does to your body is incredible."
The Los Angeles coroner's office is investigating Murphy's death. Despite the wishes of her husband Simon Monjack, the Coroner has begun an autopsy examination.
Simon Monjack who married Murphy in 2007, has found himself in the public eye as a result of his wife's untimely death.
According to IMDb, the British-born screenwriter has two films to his credit, including a story credit on Factory Girl and writer-director-producer for Two Days, Nine Lives. However, Monjack's biography does not say much about his history of financial issues.
According to a new report, he suffered from multiple financial woes, including four apartment evictions before his marriage to Murphy. In 2006, Monjack, 39, was sued by mortgage and banking company Coutts and Co. for $470,132, which he finished paying off in 2008, after marrying Murphy.Monjack and Murphy were engaged in late 2006, just months after she ended her engagement to Little Black Book production assistant Joe Macaluso. Monjack allegedly faced deportation in early 2007. A rumor began in November claiming Murphy was reportedly fired from the set of The Caller for being difficult. Some reports claimed that Monjack wasn't helping, arguing with the crew and generally causing trouble on the set.Monjack has not spoken out about his wife's sudden demise beyond a statement issued on behalf of Murphy's family: "The sudden loss of our beloved Brittany is a terrible tragedy. She was our daughter, our wife, our love and a shining star. We ask you to respect our privacy at this time."
