New evidence suggests that it's possible Brittany Murphy was poisoned.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Angelo Bertolotti, who claims to be the star's biological father, filed a suit against the coroner's office to do more toxicology testing. Though the lawsuit was dismissed, Bertolotti sent the late actress' hair, blood and tissue samples for testing at the Carlson Company in Colorado, reports The Huffington Post.
Bertolotti sent an email to The Huffington Post Monday, saying, "Ten heavy metals were found in abnormally high quantities... These types of heavy metals/toxic elements are commonly found in rat poison, pesticides, insecticides, etc... they may have been introduced by a third party with criminal intent."
However, those reports haven not been confirmed by the L.A. Coroner. Chief Coroner Investigator Craig R. Harvey told The Huffington Post, "We have not been presented any [third] party lab test results for analysis, so we are unable to comment on publicized reports on private lab tests."
