When police investigator Detective Les Newman responded to the call made by a security guard who had discovered Winehouse dead, he found three empty vodka bottles in her bedroom. Suhail Baithun, the pathologist who had studied urine samples collected from the deceased singer said that the level of alcohol in her blood was 416 milligrams per 100 milliliters, a blood alcohol level of 0.4 percent, five times the legal limit to drive in Britain. Both Winehouse's doctor, Christina Romete, and her personal security guard, Andrew Morris, knew that she had started drinking again, but believe that she had it under control.
The Winehouse family spokesman issued the following statement earlier today: "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. 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."
Amy Winehouse had a unique voice and style that wooed fans worldwide. Many mourned her publicly and still grieve her loss. In September, Tony Bennett's studio released Body and Soul, a duet with Bennett, as a single. It is believed to be her last recording.
