WHAT REALLY KILLED AMY WINEHOUSE?

Amy Winehouse’s brother Alex is claims that bulimia is what really killed her. He told The Observer magazine that Amy started losing weight at 17 with bulimia, and many of her friends did it too. Her friends eventually stopped, but Amy didn’t. She was weak and susceptible. Alex thinks she would have been strong enough to survive her alcohol overdose if she had been healthy. (She had 5x the legal limit of alcohol in her system when she died.) Amy’s foundation continues to donate to eating disorder charities.

  1. She was very short in the looks dept so tried to make up for it with plastic and ink. Food didn’t kill her, heroin combines with booze did.

  2. Our local news station’s link on FB showed rehab patients before meth and after meth photos. Now that I look at Amy’s pics there is no doubt in my mind she was on some kind of heavy drug usage (come on she’s a poster child)..

    Golly Wood has some serious drug addictions and the public is sheltered over how bad it really is.

  3. Regardless of what killed her, she had an amazing voice.

  4. If I’d seen Amy Winehouse in the street I’d have run in the opposite direction. Her brother said at his 30th birthday she was so out of it she was head-butting guests. Under all that she was probably a decent person but scary.

    I’m sure it was a combo that killed her – drugs, booze and (as a result) lack of nourishment.

  5. From the looks of the first photo, she wouldn’t have had to put in those awful plastic boobs if she’d just maintained a normal weight!

  6. I think she looked great in the first photo
    I am sure others ..including dear *poster child for an eating disorder Janet * would have called her fat . Which is stupid . Her boozing and druggin was just so outta control ..I am sure the bulimia did’t help but come one ..5 times the legal limit ?? jeepers

  7. I remember when she lost all the weight and thought then she looked better with some flesh on her bones.

  8. Diane, interesting you say this, because I have been reading this blog a very long time and JC did say that Amy looked better, in the clearly anorexic photo.

    Clearly something is wrong with JC.

  9. It’s been said she had untreated bipolar disorder and that’s why she was so self destructive. She should have been committed, it could have saved her. Sadly, Amanda Bynes appears to be in the same boat.

  10. Finally there are curriculum pressures, schools now are mostly not educating our young people, they are training them to pass exams – there are some very good examples of success but in my experience there are many which not so good. The curriculum is aimed at exam passing at any cost whether valuable or not as the school and hence the individual teacher is judged by those results in so called ‘league tables’. The demand for exam success often means removing the need for individual decision making and taking away the opportunities for young people to take responsibility thereby restricting their experiences.
