Amy Winehouse- Toxicology Reports

Tweet

It seems that when Amy Winehouse died there was a lot of ridicule and "I knew it or I told you so" type of attitudes floating around. There was even someone on here talking about how people bet on the deaths of celebrities who have substance abuse problems. To be honest, I was quite sickened by the responses. At the end of the day, a human life ended, whether you liked her or not. I am not so sure most people would want to be continuously under the abhorrent eye of the paparazzi or experiencing drug and/or alcohol abuse problems. It is obvious that she was suffering. Well, the toxicology reports (according to the Associated Press) are in and state that Ms. Winehouse did not have any illegal drugs in her system at the time of death. This is not to approve of or condone all of her past traumas or issues with drugs and alcohol but it does confirm her boyfriend's report that she was not using and was clean. There were also reports that she wanted to get married and have children. Unfortunately, this scenario was not her fate. We do not know yet (all reports are not in) how her body was affected by all of the abuse that she caused to her body over the years (drugs, alcohol, ((anorexia or bulemia)) I just think that we are all owed a modicum of respect, because at the end of the day, we are all just doing the best that we can to survive.
