Coroner’s Report: Amy Winehouse Death Ruled By Alcohol
3 months after her passing, Amy Winehouse's death was announced. It appears she drank herself to death.
Amy's blood alcohol level was 4 times the legal limit, according to the coroner's report. The labeled it as "Death by misadventure" and drugs did not play a part.
Winehouse's family has already released a statement:
"It is some relief to finally find out what happened to Amy. We understand there was alcohol in her system when she passed away, it is likely a build up of alcohol in her system over a number of days."
"The court heard that Amy was battling hard to conquer her problems with alcohol and it is a source of great pain to us that she could not win in time. She had started drinking again that week after a period of abstinence."
"It underlines how important our work with the Amy Winehouse Foundation is to us, to help as many young people and children as we can in her name."
"It means a lot to us and from the overwhelming messages of support we have had since Amy died, we know she meant a great deal to people all over the world. We want to thank everyone for that and for their continuing enthusiasm for the Foundation."
In some weird way, I do not feel closure in knowing how Amy died. I am not sure Amy's family does as well. The thing is, we lost a talent whose death may have been avoided.
When Amy passed, this song was playing in my head and I want to share it with you now.

Amy Winehouse’s Toxicology Report; No Drugs In System
Amy Winehouse's toxicology reports have come back and no illegal drugs were found in her system at the time of her death. Alcohol was found in Amy's system but it cannot be determined what part or if any it played in her death.
Here is an official statement released in the past hour;
"Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have
confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy's system at the time of
her death,"
"Results indicate that alcohol was
present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her
death."
Very interesting. Where are the people who said drugs would be found in her system?
Amy Winehouse died a month ago today. Some people said they were not shocked by her death, but we wonder how they feel today. Someone's daughter died. That is how we reported it. Regardless of her troubled past, we never assumed it was drugs.
In all honesty, it really doesn't matter. It is not going to bring this talent back. Perhaps it will show in the future, until you know what happened, chill n see what actually is the case.-Dr.FB

Another day, another reason how Amy Winehouse may have died. This time, an "insider"s is saying the way Amy quit alcohol so fast may have led to her death. Ahh. Ok there little buddy.
The insider claims "Abstinence gave her body such a fright, they thought it was eventually the cause of her death."
The thing is, Amy Winehouse's father, Mitch, is saying this absolutely could be the reason.
Doctors had told Amy to gradually reduce her intake of alcohol and to avoid bingeing at all costs. Amy told him she couldn't do that. It was all or nothing and she gave up completely. The shock of giving up, after everything she had been through over a bad few years, was just too much for her to take."
Wow. So do you believe that perhaps in her rush to get clean, her heart couldn't take it and she died? We will have to wait 2 to 4 weeks for the toxicology reports still.-Dr.FB

Lindsay Lohan was sentenced yesterday in a Beverly Hills Court House to wear a SCRAM bracelet on her leg, which goes off if she takes any drugs or drinks any alcohol.
She has to take her mandatory alcohol ed classes and interestingly enough, she could not provide her plane ticket itinerary for last week when she said her passport was "stolen" and had to miss the court date on Thursday but could provide her ticket for afterwards.
The judge was none too pleased about this since she had to delay her vacation by a day to deal with Lindsay Slowhands Lohan.
So will Lindsay be able to stay off the alcohol and drugs or will she SCRAM?-Dr.FB
