Yknow...I can't say I know a hell of a lot of his music by name...but I know I've heard it, his voice was very distinct - I'm familiar with the one Elvis posted for sure.
This, for me...is definitively my kind of rock...so for that, the loss is felt.

RIP Boys!

Nearly five months to the day after the shocking death of Brittany Murphy, the actress' screenwriter husband has been found dead in the couple's Hollywood Hills home at 1800 block of Rising Glen Road.

Simon Monjack was 39.

Murphy's mother, Sharon, apparently called the emergency services last night after finding Monjack unconscious in the bedroom. But, according to ETOnline.com, resuscitation efforts failed and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Los Angelels Fire Department confirmed receiving a 911 call seeking medical aid just before 9:30 p.m. Los Angeles police sergeant Louie Lozano confirmed that Monjack had passed away, only five months after his wife died from pneumonia.

Early reports claim that Murphy's mother-in-law found Monjack unconscious in his bedroom at 9.30pm. Paramedics attempted to resuscitate him, but he was pronounced dead from cardiac arrest.

"We have detectives at the scene. They are conducting their investigation. Once we have further information, we will provide it," said sergeant Lozano.

The British-born Monjack's IMDb résumé included two films: a story credit on Factory Girl, the 2006 biopic of Andy Warhol sidekick Edie Sedgwick, starring Sienna Miller; and as writer-director-producer of the U.K. indie drama Two Days, Nine Lives. He also dabbled in photography.

Murphy died of cardiac arrest in the same house on Dec. 20. The coroner ruled her death accident, the fatal combination of pneumonia, anemia and prescription drugs, many of which were prescribed in Monjack's name. The Clueless star was just 32. Monjack blamed Hollywood for his partner's passing, claiming that the movie industry had "blood on their hands".

In February, Monjack came under scrutiny after it was learned that he was trying to raise funds for the Brittany Murphy Foundation without applying for nonprofit status with the IRS. He wound up scuttling the foundation and returned all donations.

A month, Monjack told E! News he was planning on selling the couple's home and moving to New York. Monjack had previously told of his cardiac trouble, telling one interviewer after his wife's death: "I suffer from seizures. I had a heart attack coming back from Puerto Rico last year."
