The world was left in disbelief upon hearing the news of Amy Winehouse’s death at the tender age of 27 due to alcohol poisoning in July 2011.

Amy, the celebrated artist behind the iconic Back to Black album, continues to be remembered by fans worldwide even more than 12 years after her passing.

A cinematic portrayal of Amy’s life, titled Back To Black and directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, has hit the big screens, offering a glimpse into the journey of the Grammy-winning singer from her youth to adulthood.

Amy was found lifeless in her home in Camden on July 23, 2011, marking the tragic end of her well-documented battle with substance abuse.

Reports had surfaced in 2009 that she had collapsed from exhaustion, hinting at the struggles she faced.

During an inquiry into her demise, evidence from her general practitioner shed light on a poignant moment shared with Amy the night before her fatal drinking binge.

Dr. Christina Romete recounted a visit to Amy’s residence where the singer confessed to falling back into heavy drinking after a period of sobriety, expressing her fear of death.

Despite being prescribed Librium to manage alcohol withdrawal symptoms, Amy declined further mental health assistance, fearing it would stifle her creativity.

Dr. Romete described Amy as a remarkably intelligent and determined individual who was adamant about following her own path, including in therapy.

On the evening prior to her passing, Amy appeared composed yet remorseful, capable of engaging in conversation despite being slightly intoxicated.

She admitted to resuming drinking just days before her death, evasively responding to inquiries about stopping with uncertainty.

Dr. Romete emphasized the warnings she had repeatedly given Amy regarding the dangers of alcohol abuse, highlighting the potential fatal consequences of excessive drinking, such as respiratory issues, heart complications, fertility challenges, and liver damage.

The official cause of Amy Winehouse’s untimely death was deemed accidental alcohol poisoning by assistant deputy coroner Suzanne Greenaway during the inquest held at St Pancras Coroner’s Court.

Coroner Greenaway affirmed that Amy had consumed a lethal amount of alcohol, leading to her sudden demise.

Tests revealed an alarming alcohol level of 416mg per 100ml in Amy’s blood, surpassing the deadly threshold of 350mg.

Furthermore, authorities discovered three empty vodka bottles at her residence, underscoring the extent of her alcohol consumption.

Her body was discovered by Andrew Morris, her live-in security guard, who found her lifeless the morning after she spent her final night watching TV and listening to music in her room.

The subsequent inquest in 2013 reaffirmed the initial ruling of accidental alcohol poisoning.
