Did household molds caused their deaths?

Brittany Murphy - dead because of "molds" infection?

I had trouble sleeping last nite after reading about Brittany Murphy and her husband's deaths. It reminded me of my late mother's death. When she was sick and dying in hospital, a blood sample was taken and a culture was done to find out what was infecting her. The results showed "fungus" present in her bloodstream.  Previously there was a moldy wall in her bedroom. That wall separates her bedroom and the bathroom.  Most homes have some molds especially in bathrooms.
  This post serves as a reminder to me to keep my house dry and clean and be pro-active and take precautions.  Prevention is the key.... especially young people need to spend time cleaning every corner of their house regularly and not glued to their laptops....   
Wise to wear gloves, masks and goggles when cleaning and clearing out old dusty junk.


Actress Brittany Murphy, 32 years old, died of cardiac arrest in Dec 2009 in her bedroom. Cause of death - pneumonia and severe anemia. During investigation some mold was found but they deemed it not a contributing factor to her death. Everyone suspect she was doing drugs or overdose.

Then her husband Simon Monjack, 39 years old, died 5 months later in May 2010 in the same bedroom.  Cause of death was also pneumonia and anemia.  So now the health inspectors suspect mold. 
The house's previous owner was Britney Spears who lived here when she was with Justine Timberlake.  Murphy bought it in 2003. 

Rest in Peace.


The house built in 1998 in Hollywood hills at the end of a long private road (a dead end road).  Does the alignment of the house look like a cross?  Is the master bedroom in the center of the crucifix?

Update : 12 Jan 2012 
Read Daily Mail, UK - Brittany Murphy's father trying to obtain hair samples for further testing. Want to sue the builders of that house for construction fault.
