Noticia Impactante - Amy Winehouse died from 'excess detox', claims Father

Mitch Winehouse believes his Daughter; Amy died after suffering a seizure brought on by alcohol withdrawal

More After the Break... // Traducción Tras El Corte...

Amy Winehouse's father has blamed her death on her efforts to quit drinking. In an interview to air on Monday, Mitch Winehouse said he believes his daughter died after suffering a seizure brought on by alcohol withdrawal. "Everything Amy did, she did to excess," he told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "She drank to excess and did detox to excess."

Almost two months after she was found in her north London home, the cause of Amy's death has still not been identified. While a toxicology report showed there were no illegal substances in the singer's system, Mitch told CNN there were traces of Librium, a prescription drug used to fight anxiety and alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Some alcohol was also found in her bloodstream.

This was part of a pattern Mitch said he had seen before. Although he insists his daughter quit hard drugs in December 2008, alcohol was still a problem. "The periods of abstinence were becoming longer, and the periods of drinking were becoming shorter," he said. "It was heading in the right direction." Withdrawal caused seizures, Mitch said, and he believes one of these seizures killed her on 23 July. "There was nobody there to rescue her."

CNN also spoke to Amy's mother, Janis Winehouse, her stepmother, her aunt, and Reg Traviss, the singer's boyfriend. Two days before Amy died, Traviss said, they spent a quiet evening watching DVDs. They were planning a holiday in St Lucia in September. "She was a really clever girl," he said. "She knew what she was doing." Traviss said he wanted to talk to her more about her drinking problem but feared he would be seen as "nagging".

A full inquest into the singer's death will begin next month.

El padre de la cantante ha querido hacer público el supuesto motivo de la traumática muerte de su joven hija Amy.

No hace falta recordar que una de las mejores voces del soul actual nos dejó el pasado mes de julio en su casa de Londres a la corta edad de 27 años.

Tras su muerte la primera teoría fue la drogadicción. Todos sabían que Amy era alcohólica y drogadicta y, por ese motivo, la primera hipótesis no podía ser otra. Pero su padre había seguido el proceso de desintoxicación de su hija y sabía que esa no era la razón que la había matado, al menos, no directamente.

La autopsia no reveló ninguna dosis de alcohol letal ni ninguna droga ilegal en el cuerpo de Winehouse y la cosa, de cara a los medios, quedó así. Sencillamente, Amy murió dormida y sin causa aparente.

Pero ahora Mitch Winehouse, su padre, arroja algo de luz sobre el caso al explicar que sí había drogas en el cuerpo de su hija, una droga legal preescrita médicamente llamada Librium, que se usa en el tratamiento de desintoxicación.

Por lo visto, esa droga no hizo efecto la noche en que Amy murió y su cuerpo no aguantó el síndrome de abstinencia. La causa real del fallecimiento de la joven fueron unos ataques a consecuencia de su desintoxicación, unas fuertes convulsiones debidas al mono que tenía.

Sus padres dicen que "ya veían la luz al final del túnel" con Amy y que, por fin, se estaba recuperando de sus adicciones y excesos. Y, paradójicamente, eso fue lo que la mató.
