It seems that it was Mr or Ms Nobody who complained about my post.

Many thanks for the comments of people who let me know it was not them who complained and also the few who say that the post should have been left because of the principle of free speech.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death
your right to say it" (Attributed to Voltaire)..........

Meanwhile the gutless wonder who complained remains under his or her stone.

Can we now end this debate please.

Burton, I did,nt think this was a debate,just a post to express compassion,which comes on here quite often.However ,as you say,it should end now.**M**. Oh and in case you may think I was the person who complained,forget it. If I had read what you posted and disagreed with it You would have been told by me on here.

It wasn't me either. Burton, I looked for your post out of interest as so many people had complained about it, but it had already been zapped.

As someone just said, this thread is not really a debate. it's just a comment on Amy Winehouse. Poor girl. The sad thing is, she won't be the last. My money's on Pete Doherty next, unless he gets his act together. And I hope he does.

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are okay.

I just wanted to say I hope Amy can finally be at peace
and without the mental pain she had.

My deepest sympathies to her parents.

I hope her genuine friends can rally around her parents and comfort them.

Look after yourselves all.

Take gentle care
Sincere wishes
xx

Amen

So sad that Amy's fans are causing disruption outside her former home each night. Her family and true friends have conducted themselves with dignity.

Chris I've not seen it on the news yet.
Thats a shame if ther trouble.

As for the fans leaving drink out' for her' I poured a Grouse Whisky down the burn after my Dads ashes. He liked a drink but didnt have a problem with it.

I expect drink that was left there will find a good home lol

Only just come back again to read the later input.
Need to say it wasnt me who R R,d just in case no denial implies the opposite.

No apologies for reviving this thread to quote from the BBC news website -

"Amy Winehouse: no "illegal drugs found" says family

Toxicology results have shown "no illegal substances" in Amy Winehouse's system at the time of her death, according to her family.

They say tests indicate alcohol was present but it cannot yet be determined if it played a role in the singer's death last month.

Winehouse's family thanked police and added that they await the outcome of an inquest on 26 October. "

So those on this site who jumped to the "drug overdose" conclusion on this thread were wrong. I wonder if anyone has the guts to admit they were wrong?

Amy *was* clear of drugs at the time of her death, just as her family said.

Gwynne

It's never wise to jump to any conclusions.

Mau

It was a waste of life of a young talented girl.
Whatever the cause was I dont expect the drink and drug abuse helped her.
It's a pity she fell into that 'trap' in the first place.
No doubt she would still be alive today if she haden't gone down that road.

I stand by everyone of my post, I am sure it was reported a couple of days after her death that there was no drugs or drup taking equipment found in her house, but a week later along come the riots and not a mention of Amy, now low and behold same piece of news is reported once the riots news has finally quitened down.

It was only today that the toxicology results were available. And they show she was clear of drugs, as her family said all along.

Some people anticipated the results incorrectly, assuming it was a drug overdose.

Gwynne

Whatever it was it won't bring her back. Leave her to rest in peace if it's possible.

Gwynne

I don't think it was unreasonable to assume that drugs probably were involved in her death but that does not detract from the fact that I considered her a very talented person and was very sad she lost her life.

Vera

No illegal drugs......what about legal ones then?

Anyhow. It doesn't much matter how she died..it won't bring her back...and as has been said before....considering her well publicised lifestyle and well documented battle with drugs..it's hardly a hanging offence to assume that drugs were involved ...even if indirectly.x

I said my piece when the report of her death was announced.

I have studiously made a detour away from Camden Square ever since.

There had been people writing messages on the corporation street signs giving support. Camden Council were going to take them down and give them to the Winehouse family. Except someone got there before with their screwdriver. I despair.

I still believe the years of abuse made her heart just give out.

A very sad end to a short life.

RIP

I thought it would be nice to put the record straight after the condemnation and judgemental comments about Amy's death, many of which have been shown to be incorrect and unjustified. Some now deleted.

I think it matters to her parents how she died, they believed she was winning the battle against drug addiction and it must be a small comfort to them to know none were found in her body.

Let those without sin cast their stones.

Sleep tight, Amy.

Amen to that Gwynne x

R.I.P. Amy.
