When Amy Winehouse kicked the bucket everyone was all like, “Overdose.” But now it seems like the theorists who said that not doing drugs may have killed her may be right. The newly released toxicology report found “no illegal substances in Amy’s system at the time of her death”—twist ending, yo!
We still say it was the Butler in the kitchen with the candlestick. Or the ghost of Janis Joplin.

No “illegal” substances, but I knew people who have died from Delirium Tremens (DT’s-withdrawl from alcohol), alcohol poisoning, exposure after passing-out outside and accidents while drunk. So it doesn’t require illegal drugs. Remember, alcohol is a drug!

“No illegal drugs” could also mean “up to the gills in prescription drugs.”
People die from prescription meds all the time, and the over-prescribers are rarely given so much as a hand-slap.

Just saw on the news that the statement of no drugs found came from her family spokesman, not the actual report. THAT hasn’t been released.

Its the classy Heath Ledger MJ death

I’m just glad she didn’t OD.

@Katt: It didn’t say that.
It said no illegal drugs.
You can OD on any number of legally prescribed drugs. Ask Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger.
oh wait.

Yeah like she died from natural causes. She was so over rated!

Wow…I haven’t been on this site in quite some time and reading this post informs me as to why:
“The newly released toxicology report found “no illegal substances in Amy’s system at the time of her death”—twist ending, yo!

I don’t think I will be returning.

Rest in Peace Amy.
