AMY WINHOUSE

[wastedyouth]

I was soo sorry to hear of the news of amy yesterday, its accually hit me harder than i thought it would have, i think she has been screaming for help for a long time, but that self destruct button of her's just wouldnt give in, and thats if im right about her is mostly how its for me, my thoughts go out to her family, her dad tried so hard to help her, its left me thinking does it really take u to hit "your" rock bottom for any light to shine on you.  Personally i dont think it was just the drugs with amy i think she was very depressed and as we know you cant attempt to sort out your addiction till your mental health is at its best, such a loss of great talent all they are talking about is how she is now in the famous 27yr old deaths, kurt kobain, jimi hendrix, janus jopplin, jim morrison all talented artists, i just wanted to put out a tribute to her, i know some ppl might say she had money she could go to the priory anytime but this girl had a bad addiction problem, ive been in rehab 3times not as comfy as the priory but ive had my chances, why didnt they work??? I dont know, anyway another young person has been taken by addiction and wether she is famous or not my heart accually hurts, my partner cant get his head round why im so upset, but i tried to explain id feel the same for ANY addict, its one hell of an excistance.  My thoughts are with every addict today

WY - it made me really sad too, celebrity deaths never usually affect me but this really hit home. I think she was depressed,I can't recall seeing any video of her looking truely happy. It's such a sad way for such a young life to end.

Yeah I think it was quite sad 2 here of her death at such a young age. My girl was crying about it & I told her 2 get a grip of herself, but after reflecting on it, I just thought what a waste. She was really talented & could of achieved so much more with her life. That song of hers 'Back 2 Black' was boss.

I think Amy Winehouse got more help than most peopke could dream of getting for their addiction/depression. She was staying in St Lucia at the expense of her record company-a far cry from Phoenix in Sheffield or Balls Rd in Birkenhead. I had never seen her before she was covered in tattoos, until today when she first got a record deal & looked fresh faced & healthy. Not what I would call pretty, but a lot healthier than in recent years.

Her friends seem 2 blame her ex-husband & words like 'enabler' were used. I fucking hate that word enabler. Unless your a child, or nobody is forcing u 2 take drugs/alcohol, then people make their own choices. As I said yesterday, its a tragic waste of a talented person, but she was self-destructive, & we live & die by the choices we make. But I do feel sorry for her family-but even her Dad said a couple of years ago, he had prepared her obituary.

Interesting post about the word "Enabler" it is precisely because people do not force others that their power and influence is so seductive.
What about this from the BBC website,

Very Very sad to hear the news of Amy Winehouse,but to be honest i saw her on TV the other day and she did not look well at all,very pastey and withdrawn.I think i will wait for the toxology results before i put my 2pence in.She will hold a special place in my familys heart as my daughter was born to her Album,all my heart goes out to her family.Its such a waste of life. All the best Froude

I was so glad to hear that the toxicology game back with no drug in her system, but i do think that her past drug use had left her very frail and open to illnessses, im still very saddened it makes it even the more sadder if she was really trying her best to stick on the right path, i think and its just my personnal oppinion, i think that she was coping without drugs by drinking alcohol, which is just as dangerous, the sad thing is that she wont be remembered for her music she will be remembered for her chaotic lifestyle, things that i have read on my facebook pages about people having no sympathy etc and its her family they feel sorry for, of course we feel sorry for her family but she was a 27 year old girl with problems and she happened to use drugs as a crutch to get her through her life, but say she choose to (and we all know it not a choice but...) be anorexic and died of heart failure oh the sympathy, empathy would all be there but because it was drugs it somehow makes her death less of a injustice.  People out there need to be educated into addiction and that most of the time its not about being selfish and just wanting to get out of ur face, its an illness untill people see it as an illness our deaths will always be seen as self inflicted, it goes so much deeper, the sad thing is people are not even prepaired to give us the time of day to even think about it, its been drummed into them children are being socialised to see us as bad people not to talk to us, and even if we do get clean, its the old once an addict always an addict.  I feel sorry for Amy as it could have been any of us, and if she wasnt amy winhouse it wouldnt be in the paper we dont hear about the deaths, they just come out as a number at the end of the year, they proberly think about it in the same way they do there tax returns.  Anyway ive rabbled i just wanted to say i hope her troubled soul is in a happier place, if there is a god it will be, rest in peace Amy

WY, Where did u get the info on her toxicology results? Her post mortem was inconclusive, & they are now waiting on toxicology tests-which can take a few weeks to come back. That aside though, I have never seen a funeral that soon after death.

[froude]

There aint no toxology reports for a few weeks,and in the jewish religion,they like to bury them quickly as possible,same as Muslims.Remember when Dodi Fahed and Princess Diana died they buried him as quickly a possible i think it was 24hrs later,its all about religion.Dont know where WY got the Tox results done unless he was hiding in the drawer of the mortuary,lol.It looks like her little body couldnt take any more,we will know in a couple of weeks anyway.Cheers Froude

I would put a quarter of flake & my weeks script on the fact that them toxicology results come back riddled with drugs/alcohol.

Although, I'm not convinced there won't be a cover up that says she had nothing in her system. But if that happens, then how can they explain the unexplained findings of the PM?

[derek d j]

Although they must wait for more complex tests, the initial tox screen confirmed she didn't die of an overdose. Alcohol and something in the ecstacy is the opinion of those closest to her.

Doesn't matter, the popular verdict will be she died ''because she was a junkie''. People believe what they like to believe and rarely allow the facts to get in the way. Particularly, for some reason, where ''drugs'' are concerned.

the results were in the paper that day i wrote, but then again you know the papers either that or ive read it wrong

Wy, you are right. They did publish a prelim tox report in some of the papers the other day.
