Brittany Murphy's Husband May Not Be In Will

NY Daily News- Actress Brittany Murphy's husband Simon Monjack may not be included in the 32-year-old actress's will, according to new reports.

Murphy, who died Sunday morning after suffering cardiac arrest in her Los Angeles home, had drafted a will before she married Monjack in 2007, reports TMZ.com.

The will leaves Murphy's entire estate to her mother, Sharon Murphy, according to TMZ.com.

It was not immediately clear of the will had ever been amended to include her husband.

Just one day after the actress' shocking death, Monjack told Access Hollywood, "My world was destroyed."

He said Sunday was just "a regular day," and though Murphy had seen a doctor about laryngitis, Monjack attributed her sickness to exhaustion from filming two movies this year.

According to TMZ, notes written by an investigator from the L.A. County Coroner's office state that Murphy had a history of hypoglycemia and was hospitalized in April 2009 for low blood sugar while working on a film in Oregon.

The actress had also been complaining of shortness of breath and severe abdominal pain" for seven to 10 days before she died.

The actress is said to have gone into the bathroom at around 7:30 a.m. and shut the door.

"[Her mother] Sharon went into the bathroom because she had been in there a long time," Monjack said. "Her mom screamed for me and I ran. Then called 911."

According to the notes, Murphy's mother called 911 and Monjack "attempted to revive the decedent by placing her in the shower and running the water.

"The decedent remained unresponsive and purged her stomach contents prior to the arrival of the paramedics."

Sadly, the actress was "without signs of life" by the time paramedics arrived.

The L.A. County Coroner's office, however, has discovered a surprising amount of prescription medications in Murphy's home.

Some were reportedly prescribed to Murphy, and others to Monjack and her mother, Sharon.

Among them were Topamax (an anti-seizure med that also prevents migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepinean (treats Diabetic symptoms, as well as bipolar med) Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (for hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins.

Many of the bottles were reportedly found empty.
