Amy Winehouse Died From Too Much Alcohol, Not Too Little

Sadly, cue the lack of shock – Amy Winehouse has died from alcohol poisoning (via Billboard). Ms. Winehouse died suddenly back on July 23, at the age (forever) 27. Remember those stories/rumours where people thought Amy actually died from LACK of alcohol? Yeah….

“Coroner Suzanne Greenaway gave a verdict of “death by misadventure,” saying the singer died of accidental alcohol poisoning. “The unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels (of alcohol) was her sudden and unexpected death,” Greenaway said.”

“Pathologist Suhail Baithun told the inquest into the singer’s death that Winehouse had consumed a “very large quantity of alcohol” – the level in her blood put her more than five times over the legal drunk-driving limit. Police Detective Inspector Les Newman, who was called after a security guard found Winehouse, said empty vodka bottles were scattered around her bedroom. Winehouse’s doctor, Dr. Christina Romete, said the singer had resumed drinking in the days before her death after a period of abstinence.”

“Winehouse family spokesman Chris Goodman said it was a relief to the family “to finally find out what happened to Amy.” “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.

No word on what will happen with the Amy Winehouse songs ‘in the vault’, but hopefully they will see the light of day.
