Amy Winehouse Dies At 27
Singer Amy Winehouse (Rehab) was found dead in her London apartment yesterday.
A press release was sent out from the Metropolitan Police, which did not specifically name Winehouse but referred to her address.
“Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.
On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.”
Scotland Yard found no signs of foul play in the death of Amy Winehouse. An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.
I’m having an “I’m Glad Amy Winehouse is Dead Party” tomorrow night with mates. After the last such theme when Diana died, I’m looking forward to it. Most comments suggest that Winehouse was a pathetic, particularly vulnerable little girl who was unable to make choices in her life but instead was manipulated. If she were black she would hardly have found her end in a high-end flat in Camden. Across the pond at the Guardian comments for the first time are moderated before appearing and are refused unless they praise her (or the way she was manufactured and presented) and ignore how she actually lived- that of a junkie, consorting with criminals, attacking people, treating fans with contempt after deciding to appear on stage wasted, etc). Norway is a tragedy but personalities run the news. To me, this is one less self-absorbed, self-indulgent, self-pitying person who was given everything and still chose to stick two fingers up to society. Shame Russell Brand didn’t join her for a night cap.
