Brittany Murphy — 109 Mystery Pills
Brittany Murphy obtained a prescription for 120 hydrocodone (Vicodin) pills 11 days before her death …. and the day she died there were only 11 pills left in the bottle … TMZ has learned.
What’s more we have learned the L.A. County Coroner’s Office cannot locate the physician who prescribed the pills and they are on the hunt to find him.
According to the Coroner’s report on Murphy’s death, the pills — which we have learned were prescribed specifically to Murphy — were supposed to be taken a maximum of 4 times a day. Yet 109 of the pills were missing from the bottle when she died. If Brittany had maxed out on the prescription, only 44 pills should have been missing.
So why were so many pills prescribed in the first place? That’s what the Coroner wants to know. The doctor’s name on the pill bottle is Cohen, but so far the Coroner cannot locate him. A member of the Coroner’s Office went to Brittany’s husband, Simon Monjack, to assist them in locating the doc, but we are told Simon was no help.
The cause of Brittany Murphy’s death is listed as “accidental” — the result of pneumonia, along with prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
