Winehouse, who struggled with drugs and alcohol, died in 2011, only 27.
A coroner’s inquest reached a verdict of misadventure. The report explained that Winehouse‘s blood alcohol content was 416 mg per 100 ml (0.416%) at the time of her death, more than five times the legal drink-drive limit. The “unintended consequence”
of so much drink was her “sudden and unexpected death”.
