Many people including myself have jumped to conclusions on what they believe caused the death of the late Amy Winehouse. Based on her past struggles with drugs, many assumed that she probably died from an overdose. What was found in her toxicology was a lot different than what many of us would have expected!
Check out this article from www.abcnews.com:
There were "no illegal substances" found in Amy Winehouse's body at the time of her death, her family claims, according to The Associated Press.
The family revealed the results of a toxicology test in a statement released today.
"Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy's system at the time of her death," the statement read. "Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death."
"The family would like to thank the police and coroner for their continuing thorough investigations and for keeping them informed throughout the process. They await the outcome of the inquest in October," the statement concluded.
Winehouse's formal cause of death remains unknown and will be not be released until October.
Officials reportedly found no drug paraphernalia or sign of drugs in Winehouse's home.
Bruce A. Goldberger, a toxicology professor at the University of Florida, said the negative toxicology result does not completely rule out the involvement of a drug or a combination of drugs that could have been missed by the testing procedures or were metabolized before the test.

I have to admit that was not what I expected...
I surely thought it was a drug overdose too. But really would like to know what killed her. Because the long effect of drug-use could be the killer.
Guess we have to wait and see.
