After all the drugs and debauchery — all the heroin and crack and coke and pills — Amy Winehouse simply died from an overdose of booze.
According to the autopsy report that was released late yesterday, Winehouse had a blood alcohol level 5x times the legal limit and enough to kill 2 people.
This is not entirely painless because those who have suffered this and survived simply because someone was there to help them, describe a smothering sensation akin to drowning. There is a brief moment when the body pumps out adrenaline to try and wake the non-breathing person and some degree of conciousness is often attained. It’s a terrrible way to die.
