‘Too Much Alcohol Killed Amy Winehouse’ Coroner Reveals

Winehouse at the BRIT Awards, January 2004

We’ve been awaiting the autopsy report following Amy Winehouse‘s ‘mysterious’ July 23 death.
After 13 weeks of investigating, a British coroner Suzanne Greenaway on Wednesday, October 26, 2011 ruled the singer’s sudden and tragic demise as ‘death by misadventure’, citing that the 27-year-old died as result of ‘drinking too much alcohol’.

‘She had consumed sufficient alcohol… and the unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels was her sudden and unexpected death’, Greenaway said. Reports have also revealed from an autopsy performed on the 5 Grammy Awards winner shows that her blood alcohol level was four and a half times over the legal drunk-driving limit.
Dr. Christina Romete, Winehouse’s personal doctor says the celebrated singer ‘resumed drinking’ a few days before her sad death. She had relapsed one day before her body was found in her London apartment.
‘This is closure of sorts but I don’t think they are relying on this verdict. They are a very close family and they know how Amy was in the days before her death’, a family spokesman told free local daily newspaper London Evening Standard.
Winehouse’s funeral took place on Tuesday July 26, 2011 at Golders Green Crematorium in North London, where her corpse was cremated according to the Jewish tradition.
