According to the coroner, the late Amy Winehouse died as a direct result of over-consumption of alcohol.

Coroner Suzanne Greenaway has revealed that the singer’s blood alcohol level was well over 4 times the legal limit at the time of death.

Apparently, Amy had voluntarily drank an outstanding amount of liquor hours before her death on July 23.

The Winehouse family released this statement, “It is some relief to finally find out what happened to Amy. We understand there was alcohol in her system when she passed away, it is likely a buildup of alcohol in her system over a number of days.”

The statement proceeds, “The court heard that Amy was battling hard to conquer her problems with alcohol and it is a source of great pain to us that she could not win in time. She had started drinking again that week after a period of abstinence.”

“It means a lot to us and from the overwhelming messages of support we have had since Amy died, we know she meant a great deal to people all over the world. We want to thank everyone for that and for their continuing enthusiasm for the Foundation.”

Amy Winehouse passed away at the age of 27.
