Singer Amy Winehouse had more than five times the legal driving limit of alcohol in her blood when she died on July 23 aged 27, British media reported on Wednesday. The Rehab and Back to Black singer had 416 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood, according to the findings of an inquest into her death, compared with the legal driving limit of 80 mg.
A hearing in London also learned that Winehouse, who battled drug and alcohol addiction throughout her brief but successful career, had not drunk alcohol in July until the day before she died.
The findings backed reports shortly after her death that the Grammy award-winning artist had been trying to deal with her addiction but ran the risk of complications from binge drinking.
A security guard checked on Winehouse at 10 am on the day she died at her house in Camden, north London, and thought she was asleep.

Kim Kardashian says marriage isn’t ideal
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian says her two-month marriage to Kris Humphries isn’t ideal because there is so much publicity surrounding their union.
The 31-year-old socialite, who wed the basketball star in a lavish ceremony in August, said because of the publicity surrounding their union they are finding it hard to get some alone time, reported People magazine.
“It’s not been ideal because you’re newlyweds and you want privacy,” Kim said.
Her sister Khloe also said the couple has had a tough start to married life because of the media scrutiny as well as Kris joining the large Kardashian family. — PTI
