Amy Winehouse had no illegal drugs in her body at time of death

Amy Winehouse had no illegal substances in her system when she died, although alcohol was present, a spokesperson for the late star has confirmed. The 27-year-old singer was found dead in her Camden home last month. No cause of death was found during an initial post-mortem.

The Metropolitan police said at the time that further test results would be known within a month, while an inquest was adjourned until October 26.

“Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy’s system at the time of her death,” a statement released this afternoon confirmed.

“Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death.”

It continued: “The family would like to thank the police and coroner for their continuing thorough investigations and for keeping them informed throughout the process. They await the outcome of the inquest in October.”

London drugs fixer Tony Azzopardi claimed that he had supplied Winehouse with £1,200 worth of crack cocaine and heroin on the day of her death.
