BOURNE END screenwriter Simon Monjack said he is leaving Hollywood because it is “too painful” to live with the death of his actress wife Brittany Murphy.

The 40-year-old spoke to The Bucks Free Press following Miss Murphy's full autopsy report, which he said 'I wish I hadn't read'.

The former Royal Grammar School pupil said: “The coroner warned me not to read the report and he was right – I couldn't cope with it.”

“It described her organs and made it clear they had been removed from her body – it just brought home the fact my wife had died.”

The report said severe anaemia left Miss Murphy weakened and vulnerable to pneumonia and the prescription medications she was using to treat it.

It found no evidence Miss Murphy had abused drugs and Mr Monjack hopes this will put an end to speculation over the Clueless and Sin City star's sudden death.

A previous report had found 'multiple drug intoxication' was a secondary factor for her death.

Mr Monjack, whose mother Linda still lives in Bourne End (see link below), went to the Oscars on Sunday, when his wife featured in the "in memoriam" segment of the ceremony.

He is struggling to come to terms with his wife's death and said things are “only getting harder”.

He is planning to move to New York and added: “It's too painful to live in this town - I see my wife on every corner.”

Miss Murphy collapsed in the bathroom of the couple's Beverley Hills home on December 20.

Mr Monjack said: “The first I knew was that my mother-in-law was screaming from the bathroom. I ran in and Brittany had collapsed but she was still vaguely conscious.

“I put her under the cold shower and did CPR on her while my mother-in-law called the ambulance - I never saw Brittany again after that.

“I remember being quite calm, but I didn't think she was dying. She had been ill but I had no idea she had pneumonia.”

Though he has been as a screenwriter and producer for films such as Factory Girl and Two Days, Nine Lives, Mr Monjack said he would now go back to working as a fashion photographer.
