British screenwriter Simon Monjack, who married Murphy in 2007, said that his wife was "tired" and suffering from laryngitis in the days leading to her death.
"My world was destroyed yesterday," he told Access Hollywood.
He also praised Murphy’s ex-boyfriend Ashton Kutcher for calling her a "little piece of sunshine", saying: ‘I loved what Ashton wrote on Twitter. It was comforting to me. I couldn’t have said it better."
LA's assistant chief coroner Ed Winter yesterday said that Murphy's death appeared to be "natural" and that her family had reported that she had been ill before her death.
Stars such as Ashton Kutcher, Denise Richards, Kirstie Alley and Alicia Silverstone have paid their respects to the Clueless and 8 Mile star.
