Amy Winehouse Autopsy Results

October 27, 2011 by Tom Thayer in News with 0 Comments

 

The mystery behind the death of British singer Amy Winehouse has finally been solved and revealed. Coroner Suzanne Greenway  wrote in her final coroner report that Winehouse died of “misadventure”. She further clarified that is was alcohol poisoning as the confirmed cause of death.

According to the autopsy report just released, alcohol was the cause of the singer’s death.  the police detective who investigated Winehouse’s death reported that he saw empty vodka bottles throughout Winehouse’s home.Her blood alcohol level was said to that of 5 times the legal limit at the time of her death.

Winehouse died in her London home on July 23, 2011. The 27-year-old crooner’s death was a mystery at first because her family claimed she was trying to get clean and was sober at the time of her death. The original autopsy report failed to find any illegal drugs in her system.   A lot of speculation was that drugs or HIV/AIDS were the cause of death.  Amy did lead a life full of ‘misadventure’ by taking so many risks with drugs, alcohol and sharing needles.  Poor choices lead to her death like so many in the world.  The world will miss her amazing voice & interesting dress.  We can only hope someone will take heed of her loss and seek help to avoid getting addicted or contracting HIV/AIDS.

  • Who's Positive: Newswise — WASHINGTON, D.C., May 11, 2012 -- Who's Positive, a national HIV awareness organization, today announced the results of a year-long online survey measuring support for over-the counter (OTC) HIV testing. The organization will present these results at the upcoming U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Blood Products Advisory Committee (BPAC) on May 15, 2012. Overall, the survey findings demonstrate support for rapid OTC testing - particularly from the HIV community - with approximately half of the respondents identified as people living with HIV/AIDS. The survey gathered responses from 1,569 participants, 74% of which said that they would support an OTC rapid, oral swab HIV test that could be purchased in a retail store, if approved by the FDA. Other key findings include: 66% of the respondents who identify as a HIV-positive consumer support an OTC HIV test. 80% of those aged to 30 support an OTC HIV test. A majority or nearly 52% of those who identified as a paid member of an HIV/AIDS organization support an OTC HIV test. 47% of those who identify as one who performs HIV testing support an HIV OTC test. “Our survey demonstrates widespread support for additional testing options, especially among younger generations and those who are already living with HIV,” said Tom Donohue, Founding Director of Who’s Positive. "Over-the-counter testing has the potential to break down barriers and empower people who have never been tested before to learn their HIV status and, if positive, find the care and support they need." About Who’s Positive. Who's Positive is committed to raising the awareness of HIV and its consequences. Our organization foregrounds the reality of living with HIV through the first-hand accounts of those coping with the disease. Who's Positive strives to remind the public that this is a virus with no cure. Through the stories of those living with HIV, Who's Positive hopes to reduce the transmission of HIV among teens and young adults - a population with one of the fastest growing infection rates. ### View Post
