Brittany Murphy's death is still being investigated, despite autopsy results coming back "normal", so what is the LA County Coroner looking for?

Shortly after Murphy's death from cardiac arrest on Sunday, the Coroner Ed Winter suggested there were "other reasons" they would move forward with an autopsy despite Murphy's husband Simon Monjack requesting the body autopsied post-mortem.

As it turns out, investigation details leaked and the "other reasons" are believed to be the "strong" stash of prescription drugs found in Murphy's room.

According to The Daily Mail, the coroner found the drugs on her bedside table, including anxiety drug Ativan, the anti-depressant Fluoxetine and Carbamazepine, used to treat diabetes and bipolar disorder.

The Mail says husband Simon Monjack will be questioned over his wife's death, among several others, who were around the star prior to her death.  Monjack has already told investigators that prior to her death, Murphy had been complaining of shortness of breath and severe abdominal pains but with no cause to alarm since "she often suffered from severe menstrual pains" on a normal basis.

The three tests investigators are waiting on will take 4-6 weeks to conclude. Read the rest here or click here to subscribe to updates and stay on the latest.
