Amy Winehouse: Official Cause Of Death Is Finally In

Two years after her death, the official cause of death for the talented singer Amy Winehouse has been released.

Initially, the results concluded that the woman who had had hits on soundtracks from “Life as We Know It” to “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” and landed 5 Grammys for her album “Back to Black,” died from accidental alcohol poisoning.

However, the coroner who initially examined Winehouse was discovered to be not qualified for her role—she was hired by her husband without meeting the requirements of having practiced law in the UK for five years.

The second inquest, which was not requested by Winehouse’s family, has determined the same cause.

Coroner Shirley Radcliff announced the ruling that Winehouse “voluntarily consumed alcohol; a deliberate act that took an unexpected turn and led to her death."

The dusky-voiced singer “died as a result of alcohol toxicity” without suspicious circumstances. After a sobriety period of about two weeks, Winehouse was found with three empty vodka bottles around her body in 2011. Her blood alcohol level was five times the legal driving limit.

Radcliff added that that level of alcohol could affect the central nervous system in a manner that would lead to a person falling asleep and not waking up.

Winehouse struggled openly with addictions—bulemia, heroine, cocaine, and marijuana, as well as alcohol. She had gone a short period without drinking, but returned to it, reportedly because she “felt bored.”

Radcliff ruled Winehouse’s demise as “death by misadventure.”

Winehouse was 27 upon her death, entering her into the urban legend-y “27 Club.”
