As the world continues to ponder the death of Brittany Murphy, many are curious as to exactly who her husband Simon Monjack is. While there's still absolutely no evidence to suggest he played a part in her death, many people and media outlets both past and present are raising a suspicious eye towards the British screenwriter.
Monjack -- who penned and produced 2006's 'Factory Girl' -- wed Murphy in 2007 in a small, private ceremony at their house that seemed to come out of nowhere. The couple never announced their engagement, and hardly ever made public appearances together.
Their nuptials came amid a swirl of controversy. According to an Us Weekly report (which has since been taken off of their Web site), Monjack -- who is British -- was on the verge of being deported because he overstayed his visa. He split from his ex-wife just months before marrying Murphy.
He also had felony warrants out for his arrest, as well as a massive lawsuit from a British investment firm demanding he pay them more than $500,000. In Virginia, Monjack was wanted for credit card theft and fraud, Us reported.
Responding to the report, Monjack denied any wrongdoing, saying: "It is a real tragedy that success, greed, envy and celebrity are the motivation for attacking my family and character."
Monjack is also now being linked to Murphy's latest departure from the movie 'The Caller,' which Brittany was let go from just two weeks before her death. According to Showbiz411's Roger Friedman, it wasn't Murphy's behavior that pushed the actress out of the film set -- it was Monjack's.

I know nothing but noticed some speculation about the husband ..my guess is drugs
Who was Brittany Murphy?
32 year old actress that died of a massive heart attack
He looks like a CREEPY THUG.
I’m beginning to think “Insurance Money”
The voice of Luanne on "King of the Hill"
You are right. He is very creepy looking. Yuck.
I wonder if that poor girl was anorexic. She was always thin, but lately she looked sickly.
According to the autopsy, nothing is outstanding showing.
She was diabetic and had the flu. She had been taking medicine for that and I wonder if it wasn’t like Heath Ledger. I know that she had been vomiting in the bathroom when she passed out in the bathroom and was found lying in the shower. They are now waiting on toxicology reports.
However she went from Ashton Kutcher to a big creepy Chester the Molester looking guy who is about as unattractive as I’ve seen. Now maybe she was burnt on look after Ashton or something, but that just always struck as weird.
She was the one who copulated with Eminem in the movie, “8 Mile.” She also played the part of a prostitute in “Sin City.”
Her body wasn’t even cold yet when he announced he didn’t want an autopsy to be done.
He’s got “dead eyes”
He looks even worse in that picture. Poor girl.
I’m thinking same thing... Heath Ledger style.. combo of wrong meds for cold/flu with dibatic meds (metformin)...
Yea, he looks like Mitt Romney.
