A new documentary special is exploring the death of actress Brittany Murphy and the cause of her death at the age of 32.

The Investigation Discovery network’s new ID Mystery special questions if Brittany‘s husband Simon Monjack had something to do with her death.

After Brittany passed away in 2009, the Los Angeles County coroner said that her death was an “accident caused by a combination of pneumonia, an iron deficiency and ‘multiple drug intoxication.’” Months later, Simon died from acute pneumonia and severe anemia.

The documentary features the final interview with Brittany‘s father Angelo Bertolotti, who passed away last year. In his interview, he “casts doubt on the conclusion that she died of natural causes and reveals bizarre allegations against other family members.”

Then downfall of Brittany‘s career is also explored in the documentary. After having big hits in the early 2000s with 8 Mile, Just Married, and Uptown Girls, she was only offered low budget roles in the years before her death. People close to her associated this with the introduction of Simon into her life.

“Many connect Brittany‘s diminished career to a change in her life,” the show’s narrator stated in the special.

The 10-year anniversary of Brittany‘s death was last year and one of her former co-stars paid tribute to her on that day.

Breckin Meyer has written a touching tribute in memory of Brittany Murphy, his co-star from the 1995 movie Clueless.

Brittany passed away 10 years ago at the age of 32 after collapsing in her home in Hollywood.

“10 years ago this magical, fantabulous angel left us WAY too early. She was so crazy talented and the sweetest lil fairy ya ever could meet. Full Disclosure: Travis kisses Tai on the head because Brit and I knew each other for years before Clueless and she was always like a lil sister to me. Missing Brit lots today,” Breckin wrote on his Instagram account.

Brittany‘s husband Simon Monjack died just six months after she passed away.

Dakota Fanning is speaking out to pay tribute to her late friend Brittany Murphy, who died suddenly over eight years ago.

The two actresses starred together in the movie Uptown Girls, which was released back in 2003.

“#fbf Brittany Murphy was a ray of sunshine that made every day of filming magical for me. #uptowngirls ☀️,” Dakota captioned a still from the movie on her Instagram account.

Brittany died in December 2009 from pneumonia with a secondary factor being multiple drug intoxication. She had taken a range of over-the-counter and prescription medications, all legal ones, to try and treat a cold.

Brittany Murphy‘s life is being turned into a two-hour television movie that will air on Lifetime next month.

The Brittany Murphy Story, the first long-form scripted project about the actress, will air on Saturday, September 6, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The actress chosen to play the title role is Amanda Fuller, who is best known for her work on Last Man Standing and Grey’s Anatomy.

The film will reportedly tell the story of Brittany‘s younger years during which her mother Sharon Murphy tried to turn her daughter into a star. It leads up to her death and will also cover the aftermath, “when her mother dealt with claims that her daughter’s death was not accidental.”

Brittany died on December 20, 2009 from pneumonia and other causes. Her husband Simon Monjack died five months later from the same cause.

Brittany Murphy‘s name has been in the news lately nearly four years after she passed away following reports from her estranged father that new lab tests show evidence of possible foul play in her death. Now, her mother Sharon Murphy has spoken out in a lengthy open letter for The Hollywood Reporter.

“I have chosen to stay out of the limelight since the tragic and sudden death of my wonderful, talented, loving daughter four years ago this Dec. 20,” Sharon starts the letter. “From the day of her birth, Brittany was my precious, more dear to me than anything or anyone in the universe. I have been devastated by her loss and that of my son-in-law, and have remained in seclusion in my mourning.”

“I have no choice now but to come forward in the face of inexcusable efforts to smear my daughter’s memory by a man who may be her biological father, but was never a real father to her in her lifetime. Angelo Bertolotti has relocated to California in his old age to claim he is here for Brittany, as he never was in life. He has made outrageous statements over the past few years, culminating in this latest madness: that my darling daughter was murdered,” she continued.
