Amy Winehouse Had No Illegal Drugs in Her System: Did Alcohol Kill Her?

The skeptics were wrong.

Amy Winehouse had no illegal drugs in her system when she died last month at age 27, according to toxicology tests.

"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," read a statement released today by family spokesman Chris Goodman, E! Online reports.

There was alcohol in Winehouse's bloodstream when she died, but it hasn't yet been determined if it played any role in her death. The outcome of the inquest is expected in October.

The toxicology report lends some credence to Mitch Winehouse's theory about his daughter's death. Winehouse recently said that his daughter was no longer dependent on drugs when she died and had gone three weeks without consuming alcohol. The family suggested that it was actually alcohol withdrawal that killed the singer.

In any event, it looks like alcohol had something to do with her death. But it does look like Winehouse had managed to wean herself off of harder drugs. Makes the whole thing sadder somehow, doesn't it?

    She killed herself with all the drugs and alcohol she consumed throughout her life.

    It is possible that alcohol killed her if she had enough of it. A number of things can happen with excessive alcohol use. You can die of respiratory failure, alcohol poisoning can occur but also what can happen is the body can suddenly and unexpectedly not cope with the alcohol you put into it at any second in time and it can poison your liver which can bring on liver failure. Who knows, only God and her family knows exactly what killed her but I hope she is now resting in peace.

    I doubt alcohol killed her by itself, but dad was not correct in thinking that she had no alcohol for 3 weeks. Perhaps legal drugs killed her. I am no MD, but 27 y/o people don't usually just drop dead.

    Maybe. I'm not privy to all the facts. BTW, alcohol is a drug and so are prescription medications. Is anyone checking on whether or not she was on legally prescribed drugs?

    Define "illegal". I'd hazard to say she died from a combination of alcohol and prescription drugs, which - when abused regularly - can cause cardiac arrest or heart failure in even the youngest most resilient bodies.

    I'm not sure about this at all...But isn't the release of the toxicology tests a little late? Idk at all, but it just seems like they usually come out faster. //shrug.

    Her family was right. The shock of withdrawal more than likely killed her. And people are STILL insensitively cruel

    We don't know the whole story yet but the operative word in that sentence is illegal. Never said anything about prescription drugs that can be just as dangerous. Reminds me of Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison both doing sleeping pills and alcohol. You don't have to be doing illegal drugs for drugs to kill you.

    We all know sleeping pills, or for that matter a number of other "legal" meds, don't mix well with alcohol. Just ask Jim Morrison.

    The report said nothing about prescription drugs. She could have mixed alcohol and vicodin or Xanax or anything.. She looked anorexic towards the end too. Maybe she starved herself to death.. At any rate, it is very sad to see her die at such a young age..

    I am sure they are not telling what LEGAL DRUG it was or some pharmaceutical company would lose business overnight.
