Three months after she was found lifeless in her apartment, the official causes of singer Amy Winehouse's death are now known. The judge investigating the case, Suzanne Greenaway, announced that the artist died "accidentally" due to alcohol intake.
After the analyzes carried out, no illegal substances were found in her system, but a high amount of alcohol was found, which would have caused her to go into a coma. The lawyer indicated that Winehouse exceeded five times the legal amount allowed in England and that, during the investigation, three bottles of vodka were found in her room.
Amy was a "young, intelligent and determined woman who was able to stop drinking at times" the judge said, indicating that the cause of her death was "alcohol intoxication". During the hearing, Amy's doctor, Christina Romete, had explained that she had fallen back into drinking after a period of abstinence. The parents of the interpreter were also present in the room during the reading of the conclusions of the investigation and, with a sad expression, they listened to the result. Family spokesman Chris Goodman said they were "glad to finally know what happened to him."
British singer Amy Winehouse, 27, was found dead in her north London apartment by her bodyguard on July 23. An unexpected piece of news that left music without one of its most representative and original voices in recent years.
She rose to fame in 2006 with the single Rehab, a song that reached the top of the radio charts around the world, and was always surrounded by controversy and scandals due to her addictions, the same ones that led her to cancel numerous concerts and check into various rehabilitation centers on different occasions. Unfortunately, she Amy became part of the group of young musicians who died at the age of 27 such as Kurt Cobain, Jimmy Hendrix, Brian Jones (Rolling Stones), Janis Joplin or Jim Morrison.
