Amy Winehouse poisoned by alcohol
The inquest into the death of Amy Winehouse has recorded a verdict of misadventure after a coroner heard she was more than five times the legal drink-drive limit.
The inquest, in London, was told the star hit the bottle after being dry for three weeks and was poisoned by alcohol.
St Pancras coroner Suzanne Greenway said: "She had consumed sufficient alcohol at 416mg per decilitre (of blood) and the unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels was her sudden and unexpected death."
The star, as famous for her battle with drink and drugs as for her songs, was found in bed in her Camden flat, in north London, on July 23.
Police recovered three bottles of vodka, two large and one small.
The inquest heard that a post-mortem examination of the Back To Black diva's body found her vital organs in good health and with no traces of illegal drugs.
But she had huge amounts of alcohol in her system which could have stopped her breathing and sent her into a coma.
