Amy Winehouse drank a lethal amount of alcohol the night of her death the coroner has revealed.
Amy Winehouse
Winehouse was found dead at her London home with empty bottles of vodka in the room but no drugs. The coroner has announced that she had more than five times the drink-driving limit for alcohol in her bloodstream. Her alcohol reading was 0.4%. That is five times the British limit of .008% but eight times the Australian limit of .005%.
“The unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels of alcohol was her sudden and unexpected death,” coroner Suzanne Greenaway has announced.
Winehouse had not been drinking for weeks but days before her death went on a bender alone at her home.
Prescription drugs were also found at the home but the coroner says they played no role in her death.
