LOS ANGELES (AP) — Brittany Murphy’s mother and husband say they are convinced the actress died of natural causes, not drugs or an eating disorder.

Sharon Murphy and Simon Monjack tell The Associated Press that Murphy did not use illegal drugs or alcohol and that they are awaiting a determination from coroner’s officials that will end speculation that prescription medicine caused Murphy’s death in December.

Monjack says some of the medications found in the couple’s Hollywood Hills home belonged to him.

He says the actress had a common heart valve problem, but that doctors had expected her to “live a long and healthy life.”

Monjack and Sharon Murphy are planning a public memorial for the “Clueless” star in late February, but details haven’t been completed.
