Coroner Announces Amy Winehouse Drank Herself to Death





Results of a toxicology report released in August had shown that there was some alcohol in Winehouse's system at the time of her death, but it was revealed during the hearing that the 27-year-old had 416mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.
80mg is the drink drive limit, while 350mg is the alcohol level associated with fatalities.
The hearing was told that Winehouse had stopped drinking for two weeks but restarted on the Wednesday before her death on July 23 – the day she joined goddaughter Dionne Bromfield on stage at the iTunes festival.
Three empty vodka bottles were found in the soul singer's room.

The night before her death Winehouse had been seen by her doctor, who described her as being a 'bit tipsy' but 'calm and coherent'.
The doctor described Amy as very determined but said she wanted to quit her own way and had objected to psychological therapy.
The inquest had also heard that Winehouse had quit drugs in 2008, confirming father Mitch's assertion at his daughter's funeral that Amy had been free of drugs for three years.
Mitch Winehouse, who was at the inquest today, had previously said he believed Amy had died as a result of an alcohol-related seizure.
As a verdict of misadventure was recorded, coroner Suzanne Greenway said: 'She had consumed sufficient alcohol at 416mg per decilitre (of blood) and the unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels was her sudden and unexpected death.'



Coroner Suzanne Greenaway described the situation as, “Death by misadventure” … noting that Winehouse voluntarily pounded an extraordinary amount of liquor in the hours before she died on July 23.
Winehouse — who battled substance abuse issues for years — was 27-years-old at the time of her death.
Amy’s family released a statement … saying, “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 statement continues, “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.”

Amy Winehouse was clean @ the Time of her Death





The cause of Amy Winehouse’s death is still uncertain. Toxicology tests have determined that “no illegal substances” were in the “Rehab” singer’s system at the time of her death last month.

“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,” stated her family. “Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death.”

The statement continued, “The family would like to thank the police and coroner for their continuing thorough investigations and for keeping them informed throughout the process. They await the outcome of the inquest in October.”

Amy Winehouse was found dead at her apartment in London at the age of 27.
