Brittany Murphy's mother told investigators that she shared a bed with her daughter's husband Simon Monjack after she died, according to celebrity website TMZ.

The claim is made after the Los Angeles Coroner's office released its report on Monjack's death.

The report's investigator allegedly takes down an exchange with an unidentified person. TMZ say law enforcement sources have identified the person as Brittany's mother Sharon Murphy.

According to the documents seen by TMZ, the investigator and the unnamed person were going through the master bedroom in the Hollywood Hills home that Simon shared with Brittany.

Then (Sharon) pointed to one side of Simon's bed and identified it as "her side of the bed".

Sharon also allegedly told the investigator that certain prescriptions in the nightstand bearing the names Sharon Murphy and Sharon Monjack were also hers.

The report doesn't suggest sexual contact between the two.

Today Sharon Murphy issued a statement saying: "I am very disturbed that the L.A. Coroner's office continues to release things to the media that are misleading."

When 32-year-old Clueless star Brittany collapsed and died in the shower of her Hollywood home in December, an inquest ruled that she died from pneumonia complicated by her use of prescription drugs.

Barely five months later, Murphy's screenwriter husband Simon Monjack, 40, went into cardiac arrest and died of the same causes at the same house.

It was claimed by TMZ that an investigation was underway by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health because it was believed mould may have killed the couple.

A spokesman at the department told Mail Online that they had no comment to make on the claim.

Sharon Murphy said at the time: "I have never been personally asked by the coroner or anyone from the Health Department to come and inspect my home for mould." - Daily Mail
