Amy Winehouse Dies

Amy Winehouse,  a 27 year old singer who has faced a long battle with drugs has died on Saturday. The cause of her death is still unknown while many believe it was drug related. Though the autopsy results are deemed "inconclusive" the outcome will not be clear until the next several weeks. According to her father " Amy's cold-turkey approach to quitting drinking is what did her in". Amy apparently gave up drinking completely because she could not be on the fence. Her father thinks that this could have given her system "a lethal shock".  Dr. Zakhari states that "people who drink heavily and stop all of a sudden may have withdrawal symptoms such as seizures, convulsions and delusions".  This could have been possible since Amy died from a seizure in her bed. Overall, it is a sad death of another artist battling with drugs and living in the public eye.
