Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning

Singer Amy Winehouse's death this summer was the result of alcohol poisoning, an inquest ruled, as it reached a verdict of "death by misadventure." A pathologist told a coroner's court in north London that alcohol toxicity was the cause of the 27-year-old's death, with her blood-alcohol levels measured at more than five times the legal limit for driving.

Senh: She was only 27. So it's not a drug overdose, like what everyone expected. It doesn't make it any better. She's still dead. Alcohol abuse is just as bad as drug abuse. Her bodyguard who checked up on her thought she was just sleeping in. It's always tough with these things.
