Amy Winehouse’s Cause of Death Confirmed by 2nd Coroner as ‘Alcohol Toxicity’

The cause of Amy Winehouse’s death was confirmed Tuesday by a second coroner, after another investigation concluded that the songstress died after consuming fatal amounts of alcohol.

The English singer died in July 2011, after a long battle with drugs and alcohol. But the official cause of her death had not been announced until now.

The original inquest produced the same results, but after it was discovered that the coroner lacked proper qualifications, the hearing was annulled.

The original coroner had been hired by her husband who is the senior coroner for inner north London, but she was not a registered lawyer in Britain for the required five years.

According to Shirley Radcliffe, the second coroner to investigate Winehouse’s death, the Grammy-winning crooner indeed “died as a result of alcohol toxicity.”

Now there is no longer any doubt that Winehouse’s death was caused by her own actions, and there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding her demise.

The “You Know I’m Not Good” singer “voluntarily consumed alcohol – a deliberate act that took an unexpected turn and led to her death,” Radcliffe said.

In 2011, Winehouse’s body was discovered by her bodyguard. There were empty vodka bottles scattered all around the room in her London home.

Radcliffe confirmed that Winehouse’s blood-alcohol levels were five times that of the legal limit, and reached a point where the soulful singer could easily “fall asleep and not wake up.”

The inquest lasted over 45 minutes at St. Pancras Coroner’s Court. Winehouse’s family did not attend.

Perhaps the most tragic fact about the beehive-haired singer’s death is that doctors revealed she was on the road to recovery.

It was a tragic and unfortunate relapse that cost the “Rehab” songstress her life.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
