Singer Amy Winehouse died at her home in Camden Square, London, on July 23, 2011, at the age of 27. The inquest confirmed she died of accidental alcohol poisoning. She was a renowned soul singer known for her album Back to Black.
Under these rules, her parents, Mitch and Janis Winehouse, inherited the entirety of her estate, as she was unmarried and had no children at the time of her death.
After Amy's death both her father Mitch and fans raised money for a life-size bronze statue to be created by Scott Eaton and erected in the refurbished Camden stables market. It commemorated the 31st birthday she never reached.
The new inquest repeated the findings that Winehouse had 416mg of alcohol per decilitre in her blood, enough to make her comatose and depress her respiratory system. She was found dead by paramedics, fully clothed, with a laptop on her bed and empty bottles of vodka on the floor.
