ExaminerCorey Haim - Brittany Murphy comparison upsets Simon Monjack
March 12, 1:13 PM
We can add Simon Monjack to this list of people shocked over the death of former teen idol Corey Haim. However, he doesn't think it is fair to compare Haim's situation to that involving his late wife, movie star and TV voice actor Brittany Murphy.
In an interview with Radar Online, Monjack had this to say about the comparison between the two:
“These reports saying Brittany and Corey’s death are the same are ridiculous. If you are going to draw a comparison, do it about their art; about how brilliant they were in their craft...Brittany knew and respected Corey as an actor immensely. 'The Lost Boys' was one of her favorite films.”
Both Haim and Murphy did pass away under mysterious circumstances, but some of the early evidence from Haim's autopsy suggests that an enlarged heart along with pulmonary congestion played a possible role in his death on Wednesday.
