LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The father of late actress Brittany Murphy is suing the Los Angeles Police Department and the coroner's office, accusing both of botching the investigation into his daughter's death.

Angelo Bertolotti, who is acting as his own attorney, filed the lawsuit late Wednesday alleging neither agency tested his daughter's hair for poisons, toxins or heavy metals. He claimed Murphy's death two years ago was incorrectly blamed on pneumonia and anemia.

Coroner's assistant chief Ed Winter said he understands why Bertolotti filed the case.

"He's trying to get a resolution to his daughter's death," Winter said.

Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, also died five months later of pneumonia and anemia.

Murphy's parents believe toxic mold in the actress's house killed the couple.

Didnt her mother live with them as well? I believe she hasnt had any health problems. This is really a strange story.

I think she did live with them. In any case, it is a very odd story across the board. I thought it was fishy from the start.

Definitely an odd story, and I don't know what to think. It's just so sad that someone so young and talented died. She was a wonderful actress, and I miss her. I hope that the truth comes out one day. You are missed Brittany Murphy!
