Amy Winehouse Was Not On The Bad Shit At The Time Of Her Death

The blood veins in Amy Winehouse's body were not flowing with narcotics of the illegal kind when she rode on a dirty ballet slipper up to the giant weave hive in heaven. That's what Amy's family tells Reuters. They say that the toxicology reports have come back and not one dollop of the illegal (key word: illegal) bad shit was found in her system, but booze was. Amy's family put out this statement:

"Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy's system at the time of her death. Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death."

Scotland Yard tells TMZ that a Bloodhound dog in a bobby hat has yet to deliver the report to them (that's how their reports get delivered, right?).

Mitch Winehouse has already said that he didn't think Amy's lips touched a crack pipe for a while before her death, so this report has put him one step closer to getting an honorary monocle from Detective La Toya Jackson. However, Mitch Winehouse has also said that he thinks Amy died of sudden booze withdrawal since she quit the bottle cold turkey, so that honorary monocle has just taken one step back. Don't let that stop you, Mitch. Keep on getting down to the BOTTOM OF EVERYTHING.

She was not on drugs but she was on heavy alcohol. It was her choice and by that she set a hardcore example on why it's good to stay sober.

No, you're just stupid. Nobody would go out of their way to experience the crushing blows of heroin and alcohol withdrawal, let alone kill themselves by going cold turkey. Alcohol and benzo withdrawal are deadly while heroin withdrawal is unlikely to kill you. Why is nobody talking about the screaming her neighbors heard the night before?

Ok, so I'm late to the earthquake convo but I'd like to say that I don't blame anyone who felt the quake today. I'm from So Cal and while a 5.8 wouldn't be that big of a deal here, I see why it's a big deal for ppl who've never felt one.

In fact, when I'm alone, and I feel that my house is moving , I get pretty scared because I don't even think I could be alone during a 2.1 quake!

My house is next to a freeway and every time a big rig passes by and goes over a bump or pothole, one hears a loud sound and feels the walls of our house move. I always get a little worried about that. It makes me feel like our house won't be able to withstand a significant quake. We live about a mile from a fault line too!

ive been in a couple earthquakes and its some scary shit!any time the ground is fucking shaking is scary. i dont care if it's a "tiny" earthquake or a train going by. you cant run and hide from the ground shaking. im just glad no one died, but everyone can stop acting like it was some big natural disaster. people lose their lives in earthquakes. no one died out east - you're fine.

I wonder who made the decision on what to leave OUT of the public toxicology report.

Legal drugs can kill just as well as illegal. We really don't have all the tox facts. It'll be interesting to hear cause of death.

EARTHQUAAAKAAKKE!
Quakes can happen just about anywhere. I felt one in Minneapolis in mid 90s. It was just a tiny baby quake --- 3 point something. Felt like a train going by. Most are unnoticed.

3. I do feel sorry for her dad, because even though he's kind of a shitbag and made lots of stupid decisions and said lots of stupid shit he seemed to be the only one in Amy's life who legitimately loved her for her.

Oh yeah, and:

4. I'm still glad she's dead. Partayyyyyy!

The incessant babbling from Daddy Dearest is disgraceful.

I always thought that Amy Winehouse's problems were complicated, and her death was no different. Alcohol alone didn't kill her.
Fuck the toxicology report-in the end every substance she ever abused,every bit of organ damage she'd sustained over the years from said abuse combined with eating disorders, rose up and crushed her at once.

I think she was a brilliant songwriter,and before her habits destroyed her voice, a fine jazz singer. Winehouse went to performing arts schools from childhood,and didn't seem to know anything else.Her decline and fall reminds me of the failed athletes like Todd Marinovich.

Hope she's happy in the afterlife.

Re: Amy - as posters may have already mentioned - I don't buy the "suicide" re: "27 club". Seems more likely that she died of acute alcohol/drug withdrawal. JMO.

I remember an article a few years ago, at the start of her troubles, which pointed out that she idolised people like Billie Holiday so much that she didn't think she herself was "authentic" unless she came across as "tortured" or whatever. Which was where all the Blake shit and the drugs came in.

I wouldn't be surprised if she deliberately put herself in "the 27 club" or whatever the fuck just for the """glamour""" and the legend status which now surrounds marginally talented people like Cobain, for instance, and now Amy.

Because we all know being dead multiplies the perception of your talent 2,000% - especially if you die in abnormal circumstances.

Fake "Alien Invasion", next. Martial Law, shortly thereafter.

OT, Clearly Amy was doing better near the end of her life, but still an alcoholic and still fragile. And I still miss her.

"Tears Dry On Their Own" was credited as being co-written by Nicholas Ashford and Valerie Simpson, because it sampled/was based on "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."

RIP Nick Ashford and Amy Winehouse.

I, too, have read the VC article, and I have my suspicions. The more I think about our dear Wino, the more I realize how strange and crazy her life was, and I wonder how much of it was within her control. There was the 'doting' father (not to mention the creepy topless "Daddy's Girl" tattoo), the sudden rise to fame, the whole Blake thing, the drug thing, the multiple trips to the Clinic (who the heck knows WHAT goes on there?), the media (and us) EATING it all UP, the morbid sculpture of her, the noises that neighbors allegedly heard on the evening of her death, her goddaughter who is an up & comer, the list goes on and on. I don't have time to delve into it all now, but I dunno... questionable stuff.

Drugs/alcohol is the obvious scapegoat, and perhaps the culprit, but something tells me that there is much, much more to it than that. I don't care if that sounds crazy.

Glad everybody is OK on the east coast. Apparently, the quake's epicenter was only 3.7 miles deep, which accounts for it being felt so far away.
Just spoke to my Mom in Philly. She felt it. I remember feeling one in the Philly area in the early 70's.

Bullshit. she died because she was a junkie. The least they could do is put the message out there so at least a few kids won't go down her path. But that's too much to ask. So long as relatives of these dumb, dead junkies continue to be in denial or downright dishonest states of mind about their junkie kids, spouses—whomever, the overdoses will continue. I liked Amy and I was sad about her death, but she did herself in. Ray Charles can see that. Lets just wait and see which stupid fucking junkie will be next to kick it, because somehow these idiots aren't able to grasp that if you screw up your body's chemistry with drugs, it might not work any more, AT ALL.

The word is she died of a heroin overdose but her family wants it kept out of the news so it won't damage her "legacy".

I think her parents are desperately searching for some sort of redeemability in the eyes of the public, and if they can convince us that she was off all of the bad shit in the last few weeks of her life somehow they "did their job".

EXACTLY.

Her father especially, since the two had a close relationship.

I'm pretty sure I've read a study in a pharmacology journal which concluded that weaning addicts off drugs is only worthwhile in that it works better to get addicts off drugs in the long term, NOT because cold turkey is dangerous to the body.

I mean, whatever, I have zero sympathy for drug addicts. Life is hard for everyone. Grow some fucking balls.

Felt it in upstate NY. The local news is trying to tell us we had our own "separate" earthquake of 2.2, but it had to be some kind of aftershock.

I don't know how this same one could have reached Toronto. Wonder if they had their own "separate" one as well?

Alcohol and benzos are the only two drugs that a full gown human being (not talking about crack/heroin addicted fetuses and babies) cannot be quit cold turkey because of the effects it has on the Central Nervous System. Alcohol also becomes recognized by the body as nutrition in alcolholics. A person has to be weaned off of it, unlike crack and heroin-in which the withdrawl will make for a very sucky two weeks-but the effects are not life threatening. This is a moot point though, because there was alcohol in her system. I think the doctor who had visited her would know that she is suffering from alcohol withdrawl (I don't know). It's a very sad scenario that she wasn't concerned about getting off the booze in a controlled manner, so she just quit cold turkey because of the embarassment at Belgrade being broadcast everywhere, as well as losing her chance to tour. Long term addicts are also more suseptable to overdose after a short term of sobriety.

I do believe the part of her being off of drugs for three years. That is when she divorced Blaaaaaaaake. Many young women latch onto toxic guys in their early twenties and then manage to kick them to the curb in their mid-twenties, but it is usually too late to completely reverse the damage that they have caused. Blaaaaake was Amy's K-fed. I had a boyfriend who fucked my life so hard as well.

I do believe Amy went out fighting, and that's one battle that sucks to lose at.

In this country it IS the biggest killer. However, that doesn't mean it's inherently more dangerous than heroin, it's just (a) more accessible and (b) less demonised/taboo
---------------------------------
I'm with you, but I think that alcohol's legality, social accepability and that same lack of demonization makes it MORE dangerous than heroin.

Yeah, that's why it's the biggest killer.
I should have been more elaborate in the post that I was referring to the chemical composition, I guess. Like, if someone decides to kill their self right now, pound for pound, what is more effective - alcohol or heroin? That's what I meant by "inherently" more dangerous.
