Amy Winehouse was killed by...!

[MKR&*42]

Yes, you all guessed it. Alcohol (hardly surprising.)

I'll paste the whole article in a minute, but I read the facts of how much she had in her system and she had over 5 x the drink-drive limit.

Basically she had 416mg in her system, 80mg is maximum for drink-drive and 350mg is fatal in the body.

Amy Winehouse's death was the result of the singer drinking too much alcohol, a coroner has said.A verdict of misadventure was recorded into the 27-year-old's death after an inquest heard she was more than five times the drink-drive limit.

Winehouse was found dead at her home in Camden, north London, on 23 July.

St Pancras coroner Suzanne Greenway said the "unintended consequence" of Winehouse drinking so much alcohol was her "sudden and unexpected death". Three empty vodka bottles, two large and one small, were found at her flat, St Pancras Coroners Court heard.

The inquest heard the singer, who won five Grammy awards in 2008, had 416mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. The legal drink-drive limit is 80mg. The pathologist who conducted her post-mortem examination said 350mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood was considered a fatal level.

The examination found Winehouse's vital organs had been in good health but she had huge amounts of alcohol in her system which could have stopped her breathing and sent her into a coma. Toxicology tests showed there were no illegal substances in her system when she died.

The inquest was told she was found in her bed by live-in guard Andrew Morris, who looked in on her at 10:00 BST, but thought she was asleep.

So it wasn't cocaine or heroin or ketamine or mephedrone or MDMA? It was alcohol all along! Quick, ban it! Oh wait

This doesn't come as a surprise...

Hmm, I'm not suprised! It's still such a shame she wasted her life and kinda wasted her talent.

Its tragic and I feel so sorry for her parents. I guess that because of the previous drugs and alcohol it was just the last straw. She has left her mark, though. RIP

You must be a very hard person to drink 3 bottles of Vodka.. I agree with Georgia that she shouldn't of wasted her life on things like drugs, alcohol etc.

It's not very surprising and i'm sure a lot of people had guessed what the cause of death was, but nevertheless, it's a shame that her talent went to waste.

It worries me that people in this thread don't class alcohol as a drug. Though it's not fault of their own as we constantly given the impression that Alcohol and drugs are two different things. The government doesn't do enough to educate on the dangers and they need to stop using that phrase "drugs and alcohol". Alcohol is a drug, a very strong psychoactive one at that and it's important that that fact is drilled into the minds of youths whilst they're young. To assume that alcohol isn't a drug and that "it isn't as bad or dangerous as illegal drugs" is a very uneducated assumption to make
