Putting to rest rumors about Brittany Murphy's health before she died, the Los Angeles Coroner found that the actress did not abuse drugs or alcohol and wasn't dangerously thin.

The final report released Thursday states that Murphy had "elevated levels" of Vicodin and drugs from over-the-counter cold medicine in her system, but no illegal substances.

"There is no history of alcohol or drug abuse," the report reads. "The overall appearance of the body is consistent with the recorded height of 65 inches and the recorded weight of 115 pounds. The body appears well developed, normally muscular and slim but not excessively thin."

Earlier this month, the coroner said pneumonia was the primary cause of death, with multiple drug intoxication and a low-blood count as contributing factors. The coroner concluded her death was an accidental but preventable. Police have repeatedly said that no foul play is suspected.

Health authorities are investigating whether Brittany Murphy and her screenwriter husband Simon Monjack were killed because of mould in their LA home.

The 'Clueless' star collapsed and died in her shower last Christmas, with a ruling of death from pneumonia complicated by use of prescription drugs. Five months later her husband went into cardiac arrest and died at their home.

Mould was discussed during an investigation into Murphy's death, but it was soon dismissed as just a contributory factor, reports TMZ. But following last week's revelation that Monjack also died from pneumonia, Murphy's mother Sharon has allowed health investigators to examine the lavish property, which was previously owned by Britney Spears.

Mould poisoning attacks the respiratory system and affects millions of people every year. Mould can hide in a house for years without anyone realising it.

Sharon is believed to be flying back from England to help those investigating her daughter's death.
