Brittany Murphy’s estranged father has been mysteriously left off the actress’ death certificate. Officials at the Los Angeles Coroner’s office still don’t know what killed Murphy, but they released her death certificate Tuesday, with the cause of death listed as “deferred” pending toxicology results.
The Clueless star died Dec. 20 after going into full cardiac arrest.
The document lists Murphy’s father as “UNKNOWN’.” Following the actress’ sudden death, former Mafia capo Angelo Bertolotti came forward and revealed that he was Brittany’s dad — although he hadn’t seen the actress since 2006.
Bertolotti, 80, was notable absent from the star’s funeral in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve.
He told The Associated Press he would not be attending the service because he didn’t want to see the body of his daughter.
“I was very shocked by it (her death). I can’t believe it really. It happened so fast, I’m just trying to figure it all out right now. I’m very upset by it,” he said last week. “If I wanted to go (to the funeral) I would go, but I don’t want to see her that way. She was flawless to me. She was a little bright child. I have only good memories about her. She’s a memory to me now. To me she’s off making a movie somewhere.”
