...shows no illegal drugs were in her system, only alcohol.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/aug/23/amy-winehouse-toxicology-reports

The family of Amy Winehouse has revealed toxicology reports showed there were "no illegal substances" in her body at the time of her death.

The 27-year-old singer was found dead at her north London home last month. Her family said the reports showed alcohol was present in her body, but it is not yet known if it contributed to her death.

Winehouse's father, Mitch Winehouse, had previously said she had "conquered her drug dependency" before she died.

"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," the family said in a statement on Tuesday.

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

"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."

Winehouse was discovered by her bodyguard at her Camden flat at around 4pm on Saturday 23 July.

An initial postmortem examination proved inconclusive, and an inquest was opened and adjourned with no cause of death given.

Amazing how many people wish not to believe there were no illegal substances involved to suit their own convictions.

Yup. It's annoying how people will watch a car crash and laugh all the while. Fuckin' pathetic.
