Amy Winehouse's Official Cause of Death Announced

When Amy Winehouse died most people, including me, suspected a drug overdose.  Amy has had a very public addiction to drugs and alcohol including multiple stints in rehab.  The last one was about a month before her July 23rd death, she only stayed a week.  Videos from her most recent concerts in Dubai and Belgrade showed an incoherent Amy being booed by her own fans.  

Shortly after Amy's death her family announced that the autopsy showed no illegal drugs in Amy's system.  The family hypothesized that a seizure killed Amy, it didn't.  The Coroner has announced that 27 year old Amy died from alcohol poisoning, her blood alcohol level was .416.  She drank herself to death with vodka, several empty bottles were found at the scene.  The coroner has cutely categorized the Amy's passing as "death by misadventure."  

RIP, Amy.
