Amy Winehouse’s father is struggling with trying to wrap his head around his daughters death. He has come to the conclusion that she died from a detox seizure.

Amy was found dead in bed at her London home on July 23. Her family says toxicology reports indicated there was alcohol in her bloodstream but it was unclear whether this had contributed to her death at age 27. Mitch Winehouse said Friday during a taping of Anderson Cooper’s new syndicated talk show that traces of the prescription drug Librium, which is used to fight anxiety and withdrawal symptoms of alcoholism, were found in her body.

“Everything Amy did, she did to excess,” he said on the show, which is to air as Cooper’s debut Monday. “She drank to excess and did detox to excess.”

He said he regretted that his daughter — whose most famous song, “Rehab,” has her answering “no, no, no” when told to go to rehab — was trying to kick her alcoholism without a doctor’s help. He said “the periods of abstinence were becoming longer, and the periods of drinking were becoming shorter. It was heading in the right direction.”

Amy Winehouse’s family is  making a very big deal about no ILLEGAL drugs being found in her body during the autopsy. But no one has even mentioned PRESCRIPTION drugs.

Hmmmmm……

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

I’ve always had a little bit of respect for Lady Gaga was trying to do, and I usually find her interviews interesting. But this time I think she must have been smoking a little sumpin-sumpin before she started talking to the ladies on The View. Listening to her blame the death of Amy Winehouse on how mean and ugly the world is just ridiculous.

“I am just so devastated and so sad and I really could not speak for 48 hours straight I was in such shock. I think the most unfortunate thing about it all is the way that the media spins things, like we can learn from Amy’s death. I don’t feel that Amy needed to learn any lessons. I felt that the lesson was for the world to be kinder to the superstar. Everybody was so hard on her, and everything that I knew about her was that she was the most lovely and nice and kind woman. You know, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t enjoy listening to someone sing sad songs about the blues and heartbreak and then not expect them to be truly heartbroken.”

This is such a sad story that I don’t even really like to read about it. But still something about Amy Winehouse dying at 27 intrigues me. So I keep reading about her although I know exactly what I’m going to learn.

The night before she was found dead, Amy Winehouse reportedly asked a drug “fixer” friend to hook her up with a dealer—and she bought nearly $2,000 dollars worth of crack cocaine and heroin, the fixer says. Tony Azzopardi, who met Winehouse through her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, will be interviewed again by detectives today; police have said there was no evidence of drugs in Winehouse’s home.

Azzopardi tells the Daily Mirror Winehouse pulled up beside him in a cab around 11:30pm, looking “good, you know, fit—like she’d been clean for a while and filled out a bit.” But she was upset, he says, that Fielder-Civil had been calling from prison and “hassling” her. Fielder-Civil, meanwhile, calls his relationship with Winehouse “unhealthy and co-dependent,” since they often fought over drugs, the Daily Mail reports. That relationship will be documented on a posthumous third Winehouse album dealing with her marriage and divorce, the Mail adds.

Amy Winehouse has been admitted to the hospital..but don’t worry. She hasn’t relapsed over overdosed..she has a leaky booby.

Speaking on his online show ‘Mitch Winehouse’s Showbiz Rant’, Mitch said as he pointed to his chest: “It wasn’t because she had a cold. She’s fine, she just had a little leaky something or other.”

A friend of Amy’s added to Britain’s Daily Mirror : “She saw something oozing out of her top. To see stuff seeping out was horrible.”

I apologize if that was TMI first thing in the morning.
