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.

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

The autopsy of Amy Winehouse is complete and no cause of death has been established. The toxicology tests will take 2 to 4 weeks for the results.
Everyone and their grandmother is assuming what killed Amy Winehouse was drugs. We can speculate all we want, and your grandmother may be right, but we are going to wait for the results to come back.
It doesn't matter how she died. The main thing is she did die.....-Dr.FB
