Amy Winehouse Body Clear Of Illegal Drugs
By Paul Cashmere
Toxicity tests carried out on Amy Winehouse show that there were “no illegal substances” in her body.
A statement issued by the Winehouse family today states, "Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death."
Amy died on July 23rd, 2011.
"Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death," the statement also read. Sudden alcohol withdrawal is now the most likely cause of her death.
Winehouse had a long career of drug and alcohol abuse. She was attempting to get her career back on track at the time of her death.
Producer Mark Ronson worked on at least an album’s worth of new material with Amy in the months before her death. She had also attempted a show in Budapest weeks before her death to abortive results but was booed off stage.

Not Budapest, but Belgrade. Capitals of completely different countries. She was supposedly play in Budapest in mid August, but canceled the date and the other Europeans as well after the Belgrade fiasco.

And here it is. Pretty much vindicates all the "haters" and "disrespectful" ones that were slammed for suggesting it....
Amy Winehouse Died From 'Misadventure'; Drinking Too Much Alcohol
by Daniel Kreps / Amplifier-Yahoo! Music
In the months following Amy Winehouse's death, her parents believed that -- after years of hard-living and drug and alcohol abuse -- their daughter died due to complications stemming from alcohol withdrawal. "Abstinence [from alcohol] gave her body such a fright, they thought it was eventually the cause of her death," a source close to the family said in July. It turns out, the complete opposite was true: According to the long-awaited coroner's inquest into the singer's death at the age of 27, Winehouse passed away after consuming an excessive amount of booze. The report stated that Amy died of "misadventure," since she voluntarily put the liquor into her system. "The unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels (of alcohol) was her sudden and unexpected death," the coroner wrote..
The legal limit for operating an automobile in the U.K. is 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. Winehouse's blood-alcohol content at the time of her death: 416 milligrams, over five times the legal limit, Reuters reports. Depending on body type, a blood-alcohol content of 350 milligrams is when fatal alcohol poisoning could occur. Winehouse's ability to imbibe freely was reduced significantly after the singer quit drinking entirely in July, so when the sudden flood of alcohol reentered her system, the shock was too much for her body to handle. The toxicology report also confirmed that no illegal substances were found in the singer's system at the time of her death..
"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," Winehouse's family said in a statement today. "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."

After Amy Winehouse’s premature passing in July, two collaborators the troubled soul songstress – Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi – wheedled through an extensive selection of her unreleased material to create a posthumous record, Lioness: Hidden Treasures.
“Halftime” is the latest piece of proof of Amy’s star-crossed genius, as she delivers another effortless, classically lovelorn siren song over a lounge-y R&B beat. We’re particularly struck by Amy’s lyrical attestations of consuming love for music: “The tune tears me apart / and it swallows me whole.” You’ll be agreeing with her before the end – “Halftime” has that amazing quality of Amy’s best material; her voice can wrap you up and swallow you whole. Check it out.
