Los Angeles , California ( CNN ) -- A coroner 's investigator dismissed online speculation that the pneumonia deaths of actress Brittany Murphy and her husband , Simon Monjack , may both have been related to viral mold inside their Los Angeles home . `` There were no indicators that it was from mold , '' Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said Monday . Murphy , 32 , and Monjack , 39 , died five months apart in the same bedroom of the home they shared with the actress ' mother , Sharon Murphy , in Hollywood Hills . The preliminary autopsy concluded that Monjack 's death May 23 was caused by acute pneumonia and severe anemia , `` just like Brittany , '' Winter said last week . Murphy died December 20 from a combination of pneumonia , an iron deficiency and multiple drug intoxication , a coroner said . The drugs involved were legal and are used to treat respiratory infections , according to an autopsy . Winter said Monjack , his mother-in-law and their lawyer all talked to him about a possible mold problem in the home during the investigation into Brittany 's death . Murphy , however , issued a statement Monday saying that she has `` never been personally asked by the Coroner or anyone from the Health Department to come and inspect my home for mold . '' Winter called that `` an absolute lie , '' but Murphy 's publicist , Roger Neal , stood by the statement , calling it `` 100 percent factual . '' The home apparently was tested by `` a well-respected company '' for dangerous mold just two months before Murphy 's death , according to Neal . `` Simon Monjack received the report and assured Brittany and Sharon Murphy that there was no mold danger and it was safe to stay in the house , '' Neal said . Monjack , a British screenwriter , married Murphy in 2007 . She was an often bubbly , free-spirited actress who appeared in films such as `` Clueless , '' `` 8 Mile , '' `` Do n't Say a Word '' and `` Girl , Interrupted . '' She also lent her voice to animated works , including the movie `` Happy Feet '' -- in which she also sang -- and a regular role on the animated TV series `` King of the Hill . ''
NEW : Inspection found no mold in home before Murphy 's death . Coroner 's office found `` no indicators '' of mold having a role in the two deaths . Murphy and Monjack died in the same room , five months apart . Autopsies found that pneumonia was the main factor in each death .
