To some he was a conman accused of marrying Brittany Murphy for a visa, but to others Simon Monjack was a highly intelligent, generous man who spent his final months heartbroken from the death of his wife.

Simon gave his final interview to RadarOnline.com just days before he died and typical of his final months, he talked mainly about Brittany.

“I don’t think you understand how much my wife and I loved each other. I can only wish you that closeness with another human being,” he told RadarOnline.com reporter Amber Goodhand.

Simon and Goodhand became friendly after Murphy’s tragic death and in his final interview Simon also talked about putting together a memorial for the six-month anniversary of Brittany’s passing. Brittany died December 20, 2009.

In the same interview he said that he was trying to move forward and focus on his photography. “It’s my passion,” he said.

The interviews take new meaning in the wake of Monjack's death, as they mark the last time the British writer-director would ever appear on camera. In them, we see the grieving husband talking about his wife following her sudden and premature death, while his own was lurking around the corner, as fate would have it.

On March 20, 2010, an unshaven Monjack opened the doors of the Hollywood Hills home he shared with Murphy to RadarOnline.com, and showed us the cluttered bathroom the film starlet collapsed in, never to get up again.

Brittany Murphy's late widower Simon Monjack "had a huge number of medicines by his bedside," Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told RadarOnline.com exclusively Monday, leading investigators to narrow his cause of death at 40 to one of two possibilities: a heart attack or an accidental overdose.

"We are now investigating two possibilities of what caused Monjack to die," Winter said. "First, a heart attack and second an accidental overdose. We just have to wait for the autopsy and [toxicology] reports, which will take four to six weeks to be completed."
