Everyone in the music community was devastated at the news of 27 year old Amy Whinehouse’s death. She was a singer and songwriter from London. She spent her final hours inside her home in Camden Square. The cause of her death has yet to be determined. There are several rumors centered around her death being alcohol and drug abuse related, but are strictly speculation.
She was found alone in her bed by a bodyguard who tried to wake her and found she wasn’t breathing. When the medical examiner arrived he pronounced her dead on the scene and said that she has passed away about 6 hours prior to their arrival. It has been ruled out that there was any foul play in her death, whatever happened was self inflicted or natural.
Her family and boyfriend, Reg Traviss said that they were both heartbroken and stunned at her unexpected death. They deny that she was having any problems with drugs or alcohol abuse in the days prior to her death. Her boyfriend Reg speaks out about her death saying “I can’t describe what I am going through and I want to thank so much all of the people who have paid their respects and who are mourning the loss of Amy, such a beautiful, brilliant person and my dear love. I have lost my darling who I loved very much.”
Amy had been working on her third album that had yet to be named. Her career first began in 2003 when she released 
her first album, Frank, which was never released in the United States. Her second album, Back to Black, immediately hit the number one spot when it was released and remained there for several days. Amy had created a great career for herself although she did have some personal problems. She was in the process of finishing her third album, an inside source said that a number of the songs were about her ex-husband who is now behind bars.
Amy had planned to be cremated and her family carried out her wishes. They had a funeral service for her with family and close friends present. Everyone was very emotional over the loss. Those who couldn’t be at her funeral left gifts and paid their respects outside of her home in Camden. Everyone will miss the singer and hopes to gain access to her unfinished album at some point.
