Simon Monjack, the husband of late actress Brittany Murphy, was found dead in his home in Hollywood Hills on Sunday night, and the Clueless star’s brother has some harsh words for the deceased screenwriter.

Tony Bertolotti — Brittany’s half-brother — tells RadarOnline.com that he was “not shocked” or saddened to learn of Simon’s passing.

“I wasn’t shocked to be honest. Monjack had all his wagons circled and he couldn’t do it any longer. I didn’t have a reaction to the news. The guy was insane he tried to keep my father’s name off (Murphy’s) the death certificate,” Bertolotti spat. “When I told my dad Angelo about the news he felt he same way. We are sad for my sister, not for him.”

“That’s two out of three people that have died living in that house within six months. When are people going to open their eyes about what was going on there?” he added. “Our family thinks that this thing will still blow-up, and that the truth will eventually come-out about our sister.”

Monjack, 39, was found by Murphy’s mother Sharon in the master bedroom of the house he once shared with his late wife — the same house she died in last December. The cause of death is being investigated, but the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office believes Monjack died of natural causes.

Months before his death, Simon Monjack’s mother revealed he was having health problems. In January, Linda Monjack told PEOPLE Magazine that her son was “unwell” and may have heart problems.

“On whether he has a heart problem it is not really for me to say, you must ask him, but yes, there have been health problems in the past. I believe it’s common knowledge, and it’s been in the press that he had a slight heart attack a week from Brittany’s death coming back from Puerto Rico….”

Murphy, 32, succumbed to pneumonia, drug intoxication, and iron deficiency last Dec. 20.
