Brittany Murphy?s husband wanted to keep her on life support.

Simon Monjack has revealed the actress ? who tragically passed away aged 32 on December 20 last year after an alleged prescription drugs overdose ? was technically alive when she was admitted to hospital.

He said: ?The doctor said, ?She?ll be brain dead, basically.? And asked, ?What do you want me to do?? and I said, ?I want you to keep going.?

?Because in my mind, I?m thinking you never know what medical thing might happen in 10 years time.?

Unfortunately, a short while later the doctors returned to say the star had taken a turn for the worse and there was nothing they could do.

Simon added to ?Access Hollywood?: ?And then, the doctor came in with a whole grieving team and said that Brittany hadn?t made it.?

Brittany?s death, from a cardiac arrest, was later listed as an accident in an autopsy report.

Simon vehemently refutes the notion there are any parallels between Brittany?s death and that of actor Corey Haim ? who passed away last week, also of an overdose, after a long battle with drugs.

Simon said: ?Corey was someone that had openly used drugs for many, many years and had a problem.

?Brittany was someone that never used a drug in her life.?

When questioned about this, Simon maintained he had never seen his wife use any illegal drugs and that she never abused prescription medication.

He added: ?Death is the only place she found peace.?
