Brittany Murphy and her husband, Simon Monjack, may have been poisoned despite the Los Angeles coroner's ruling the two died five months apart from natural causes, Jezebel reported via the Examiner.

Murphy's father, Angelo Bertolotti, has long been suspicious that the two were poisoned even after pneumonia and anemia, respectively, were listed as the causes of death.

Bertolotti battled litigation for years to secure Muphy's hair, blood and tissue samples for the recent independent testing, which revealed heavy metals at dangerously high levels.

The lab report reads, "Ten (10) of the heavy metals evaluated were detected at levels higher that the WHO [The World Health Organization] high levels. Testing the hair strand sample identified as 'back of the head' we have detected ten (10) heavy metals at levels above the WHO high levels recommendation. If we were to eliminate the possibility of a simultaneous accidental heavy metals exposure to the sample donor then the only logical explanation would be an exposure to these metals (toxins) administered by a third party perpetrator with likely criminal intent." (Emphasis added by the Examiner)

The Office of the L.A. Corner admittedly had not tested for poisonous substances, according to the Examiner. Heavy metals are typically found in rat poison and insecticides. Both Murphy and Monjack experienced all the symptoms of such poisoning before their untimely deaths, the Examiner reported.

Known for her roles in "Clueless" and "Uptown Girls," Murphy was only 32 when she died in 2009. Monjack was 40 when he died a few months afterward.

The levels of heavy metals found in Murphy's hair sample ranged from two to as much as nine times higher than the levels set as "high" by The World Health Organization.

"Vicious rumors, spread by tabloids, unfairly smeared Brittany's reputation," Bertolotti said. "My daughter was neither anorexic nor a drug junkie, as they repeatedly implied. Brittany and Simon were ridiculed by The Hollywood Reporter, when they complained of being under surveillance and in fear for their lives. I will not rest until the truth about these tragic events is told. There will be justice for Brittany."
