It has been confirmed that Amy Winehouse had stayed clean and no drugs were found in her system at the time of her death. But unfortunately another vice was too blame. Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning on July 23rd 2011 at the infamous age of 27.
British coroner Suzanne Greenaway has finally rendered a verdict of “death by misadventure,” stating the singer had died of accidental alcohol poisoning . The statement read “The unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels (of alcohol) was her sudden and unexpected death,”.
Pathologist Suhail Baithum had confirmed “very large quantity of alcohol — the level in her blood put her more than five times over the legal drunk-driving limit.”
In July at the time of her death Police Detective Inspector Les Newman arrived on the scene after receiving a call from a security guard. As you all know by now the room was littered with empty vodka bottles as Winehouse was found in her bed unresponsive and not breathing.
Her doctor at the time, Dr. Christina Romete, had said the night before she died Winehouse seemed “tipsy but calm”. Winehouse had never discussed suicide and even seemed excited for her upcoming birthday.
The Winehouse family can at least sleep better at night now knowing what had transpired. Family spokesman Chris Goodman was quoted as saying “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,” he said. He also stated the family feels relieved “to finally find out what happened to Amy.”
A tortured soul, Amy had finally kicked the drugs but still couldn’t beat the bottle. Dr. Romete even presribed her Librium to help her cope with the systems of withdrawl from the booze. The coronoer confirmed these pills had no role in her death.
The world lost a great and innovative talent whose signature voice will be recognized for years to come.
