The British screenwriter, 40, died from severe anemia and acute pneumonia - the same causes that killed Murphy last December, according to autopsy results.
"It is with great relief that Simon's preliminary autopsy findings have been released, so the media speculations can stop," Brittany's mother Sharon Murphy said in an issued statement. "As I was sure of, just like my daughter Brittany, there was no kind of drug overdose."
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said prescription drugs were found in Monjack's system, but not in lethal levels, CNN.com reported.
A full autopsy report will be released in about two weeks after one more test is completed, at the request of Monjack's family, Winter said.
Murphy, who died five months prior to Monjack, was killed by a combination of pneumonia, an iron deficiency and multiple drug intoxication.
The two were married for three years.

Monjack claims in the interview with The Daily Beast that Murphy's death was due to stress caused by Warner Bros' alleged decision last month to cancel a contract for a voice role in the sequel to 2006's animated musical "Happy Feet".
A month earlier, Murphy had been allegedly fired from the set of the upcoming independent thriller "The Caller" and replaced by "Twilight" star Rachelle Lefevre, the Entertainment Weekly reported on its website Thursday.

Brittany Murphy, the perpetually perky and slightly quirky actress who worked her way up from supporting parts to romantic leads after her breakout role in the film “Clueless,” died Sunday in Los Angeles. She was 32.
Ed Winter, an assistant chief coroner in Los Angeles County, told The Associated Press that Ms. Murphy apparently collapsed in the bathroom and that the cause of death “appears to be natural.” He said that an official cause of death might not be determined for some time.
The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at 8 a.m. Sunday at the home that Ms. Murphy shared with her husband, Simon Monjack, a British screenwriter, in West Hollywood. Ms. Murphy was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 10:04 a.m. Sunday, said Sally Stewart, a spokeswoman for the hospital.

At Monday evening's Max Azria show, Brittany Murphy is the first celebrity to wander out from backstage after photographers waited for about 40 minutes — refusing an interview with one gossip-magazine reporter by placing her hand gently on the girl's arm and intoning, "Not for that magazine. Your magazine HURT. MY. LIFE." As the reporter stammered an apology, Murphy cooed, "I'm so sorry. It's not you. Any other one, People, whatever, but not yours."

The Sin City starlet spent an hour on Christmas Eve checking out guitars and guitar books at Sam Ash music store in Hollywood, California.
"She came in at around 5pm and asked where the guitar books were,” an eyewitness told of Murphy’s visit.
“She and a girlfriend spent about an hour checking out guitars and browsing around. Brittany said she had an acoustic guitar at home and wanted to learn how to play it.”
On her way out, the 30-year-old Atlanta native kindly wished the staffers, “Merry Christmas!” before jumping in her car and heading off into the night.
