Report: No illegal drugs in Amy Winehouse’s system
According to a toxicology report, alcohol was present but no illegal street drugs were found in British singer Amy Winehouse’s system after she died suddenly at age 27 in her $4 million London flat last month.
Winehouse’s spokesman released a statement confirming alcohol was present in her system. “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,” the statement read.
The spokesman added: “Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death.”
Amy’s father Mitch said she successfully kicked her drug habit that plagued her for years.
“Three years ago, Amy conquered her drug dependency — the doctors said it was impossible but she really did it,” he said.
But reports quoted family sources as saying her death could have been caused by sudden alcohol withdrawal.
“She was trying hard to deal with her drinking and had just completed three weeks of abstinence. She said, ‘Dad I’ve had enough of drinking, I can’t stand the look on your and the family’s faces anymore.’ ”

Wow is all I can say
thats actually a pretty nice pic of her minus the cig
Wow !!
Back to black…
I love the picture you chose again Sandra you represent for your people don’t cha
Somethings seems fishy about this 
I wonder what caused her death doe…. 
I’m glad nothing was found her system….people were so quick to assume that was what caused her death.
*Auntie can we please get a BBQ wives post
I am glad she kicked the habit but I think the drugs played a part and took a toll on her body over time. From the videos that I saw in the past, she was a heavy user and I think it caught up with her physically and broke her down even if she wasn’t using when she died.
I really love this picture of her!
Its good to know that she was on the path to recovery . Sandra nice pic of Amy
Beautiful pic of her
I love Amy’s music and I’m glad that this information came out regarding the drugs. Folks were so quick to say that she died from an overdose. Wonder what they’ll say now….
someone must have shown amy her last performance, which might have led to her making steps to get sober. however, although im not an expert on how long drugs stay in one’s system, amy looked to be on meth or heroin. she was scratching her arms the whole time, so the toxicology report seems a bit strange to me………who knows
It’s horrible because you quit drinking, smoking or doing drugs because you don’t want to die, but sometimes it’s already done so much damage that it’s too late.
It’s great to know that she was finally able to stop using and her death wasn’t drug related.
Hopefully people will learn.
Hello All. Her heart just couldn’t take anymore, so sad. RIP Amy RIP.
Well what else could it be???
RIP AMY!!…Beautiful voice!
Damn this is BEST picture Ive ever seen of her!!!!1
I’m so glad that this situation got cleared up. She said she was clean and that she was starting a new lease on life! As soon as she died, people went to what they knew about her!
#you sometimes have to read the book twice before you understand it completely!
I was reading in the Ashford post that they were writing for Amy also. Loved her music

That’s what I was thinking.
@Tatted
In my opinion, it didn’t matter if illegal drugs were in her system or not, the damage was already done.
wow. looks like what her Dad was saying about the alcohol withdrawl might be true
This is a very pretty pic of her.
Report still doesn’t rule out prescription drugs. Notice how they made a point to say “illegal.” It could have been a bad combination of alchohol and meds.

I guess the

@kahmmillion (Comment #22)
Totally AGREE !!! And with the RIGHT Amount of Money & Connects you can make a report say ANYTHING you want it to
her neighbors reported hearing howling/screaming & drums beating the night she died
sumn aint right
i have heard the if some people abruptly stop drinking their system can go into shock…my grandmother said her brother drank for 20 something years and keeled over dead after not having drank in a week…..
In my opinion, it didn’t matter if illegal drugs were in her system or not, the damage was already done.

Thats how I feel and then someone mentioned prescription drugs I think her body went into withdrawal of some sort

Girl so you saying some type of ritual could’ve been performed something is mos def off
@Choco..it would lead one to think it was a ritual killing
esp since her tox screen was clear, even tho it was reported she just copped drugs that nigh..
Glad to hear this. It happens all the time though. NA has a (figurative) “Diamond” key tag for addicts that die clean.
I wish she had a post-houmous catalog like 2Pac
Sup Man, His, Tatted, Fay
Dogg Pound, Brady Bunch, Little Rascals etc
thats actually a pretty nice pic of her minus the cig
agree she was very pretty when she didnt try so hard to be different
RnBJunkie73 are you still among us? Wonder how fast Sandra will ban you after you went in on her so viciously and throughly
Went to a club this past weekend in Dallas. Realized I’m too old to party with the kids. Had no clue about half the music they were playing

What club was it??? The last time I went to the club in Dallas I left early…..that was about 5 years ago….
@Fayla
Agreed something foul happened
@Choco..esp bc in her death she joined “the 27 club” ala Curt Cobaine, Hendrix, Morrison, etc
@Ninjagirl are you here in Dallas? What club was it? I haven’t really clubbed since Lakeside became Safari’s lol. Then I was into the reggae scene for a while-Palm Beach in Downtown Dallas
esp bc in her death she joined “the 27 club” ala Curt Cobaine, Hendrix, Morrison, etc

What do you mean – they overdosed! How do we know it wasn’t the bodyguards who were with her when she was found dead REAL
Luscious you caught my typo. He went in on Sandra
@ Naija, what club??…Im from dallas! LMAO
loveleigh i am soooooo
@ MrsLoveleigh LAKESIDE AND SAFARI!!!!!!!…God those were the days…now the clubs down here suck!..I like Club Wish and Bella32
@Mrs, Chocolate and Chiby it was at the house of blues. The only songs I danced to were ish from when I was in high school and undergrad. The rest of the songs sounded like white noise to me
@Naija…oh yes the HOB….I usually like the atmosphere there!
@chocolate I keep seeing Bella32 on dallasblack but since I’m 10 years older than their admit age I’m thinking I won’t enjoy it
LOL…Well I am also…but I like it…there is a dress code there also!
@Chocolate thanks. I may check it out once I get back settled in Dallas
now this pic of her is beutiful i knew she was purrty.. just wow maybe her heart just went out after so much abuse idk may she r.i.p
Very nice picture of her. Wouldn’t the alcohol in her system prevent withdrawal and DTs? R.I.P. Amy….
Good to know no illegals, but it’s still sad she died so young.
