Brittany Murphy's husband died waiting for surgery
Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- The widower of actress Brittany Murphy, found dead in his home Sunday night, was scheduled to undergo heart bypass surgery this summer, a spokesman for the actress' mother said.
British screenwriter Simon Monjack, 39, was pronounced dead after the Los Angeles Fire Department was called to his Hollywood home for a medical emergency, police said.
There were no signs of foul play or criminal activity in the death, Los Angeles Police Sgt. Alex Ortiz said.
Roger Neal, a spokesman for Murphy's mother, Sharon, said Monjack delayed the heart surgery until after a fundraising gala for the Brittany Murphy Foundation in September.
Murphy, his wife of less than three years, died just five months ago.

1. somehow that doesn't surprise me
sometimes it seems they have heart patients wait a frighteningly long time for bypass surgery.
And our for-profit system of health care is supposed to be better than government-run universal health care how?

2. And it wasn't in Canada
Surprise!
That's all there is so far. These DUmmies are so quick to blame our health care system, that they skip over the fact that it was the deceased person that postponed the surgery.

I still think the BFEE did this double homicide. It has their fingerprints all over it.

Some people are calling the OP on the assertion:

3. In fairness, he didn't die "waiting for surgery".......
.......he died because he chose to postpone the procedure until after the fundraiser. Really stupid decision, that.

5. Unrecced. He did NOT die waiting for heart surgery. He decided to postpone it, until
he could fit it in.

6. My husband went in for a test and had a quadruple bypass that afternoon.
We barely had time to get the kids and rest of the family to the hospital before they took him into the operating room. His mom died young because she declined the operation.

They might not be moles, just people that can read and wanted to make the OP look dumb for posting it. There is a lot of infighting over there.

Everytime I see a comments that differs from the majority I think they're a mole LOL.
And what are they fighting about? are there basically 2 camps there now, pro and anti Obama people? I do notice people are less afraid to go against Obama.

I had to twist my cardiologist's and surgeon's arms pretty fiercely to get them to postpone my bypass surgery for a week. They were ready to roll on the spot, but I needed some time to get some affairs in order so that I could home to a stocked and clean house.

That stupid Straight Story, I'm so mad at him. He started off the year with a bang, to become my frontrunner for DUmmy of the Year, with that story about taking his sick X skydiving. Then, he was begging for gas money on the internet. Now, all he does is post articles written by MSM. Very lazy. Very lame. Another favorite was OffWithTheirHeads. Don't see him around anymore. I wrote a small short story about him, wherein I offed him at the end with a bathtub and a blowdryer. Maybe it actually happened.
