Coroner’s Report Says Amy Winehouse Died From Too Much Alcohol

Months after a security guard found singer Amy Winehouse dead in bed at her London home on July 23, the coroner's report shows that she died from drinking too much. The Grammy-winning soul singer, died with empty vodka bottles in her room and lethal amounts of alcohol in her blood — more than five times the British drunk driving limit.

Coroner Suzanne Greenaway gave a verdict of "death by misadventure," saying Wednesday the singer suffered accidental alcohol poisoning when she resumed drinking after weeks of abstinence.

The 27-year-old Winehouse had fought a very public battle with drug and alcohol abuse for years, and there had been much speculation that she died from a drug overdose.

But a pathologist said the small amount of a drug prescribed to help her cope with the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal had nothing to do with her death.
