Coroner: Amy Winehouse Died After Drinking Too Much Alcohol

The July 22 passing of Amy Winehouse was ruled “death by misadventure” by British coroner Suzanne Greenaway on Wednesday. Winehouse, 27, died as a result of drinking too much alcohol, Greenaway said.

“She had consumed sufficient alcohol… and the unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels was her sudden and unexpected death,” Greenaway said.

A pathologist reported that an autopsy performed on the “Rehab” singer revealed that her blood-alcohol level (416mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood) was 4.5 times over the legal drunk-driving limit.

Her family — parents Mitch and Janis and borther Alex — were in attendance when the toxicology results were announced.
