It's a logical assumption I guess, but didn't she also have other issues? I remember reading something about emphysema and anorexia.

a journalist tweeted that she died of a drug overdose. I dont' think there was any official statement on cause of death as yet.
Katie77:
Well I guess she set herself on the road to destruction, and now she has succeeded.
But, no matter the cause of death, it is far too sad for someone so young and talented to pass away.
Kelda:
No, there has been no postmortem results announced as yet...
Jeff Wrangler:
Anorexia, which can screw up your heart function by screwing up your blood chemistry, combined with use of illegal drugs, sounds to me like a disaster waiting to happen.
Even if the woman's life was a train wreck, this is still sad. Sheesh, 27. ...
milomorris:
I saw a TV news story that claimed she had decided a few years that rehab was not for her. So I don't know how hard she actually tried to get off the drugs.
I know from first-hand experience that addiction is a manageable disease. So is diabetes. And if you don't take your insulin properly, you're not managing your disease. Same goes for rehab. Winehouse had a responsibility (and lots of opportunity) to manage her addiction. She had a responsibility to do so. She chose not to. Now she's dead.
Some people would call that a form of suicide. Tragic. And avoidable.
