Amy Winehouse Spent Final Night Watching YouTube Videos of Herself

The second inquest into Amy Winehouse's death confirmed the singer died from alcohol poisoning, but it also revealed more sad details. According to live-in security guard Andrew Morris, Winehouse spent her final night alive watching YouTube videos of herself in her bedroom while drinking.

In a statement read before St. Pancras Coroners Court, Morris said he heard the 27-year-old artist listening to music and watching television in her room, the Daily Mail reports. At one point, she came out to show him YouTube videos of a man she dated in the past, then returned to her room to watch clips of herself -- something he hadn't witnessed her do in a long time.

Morris admitted that he knew Winehouse was drinking but she "wasn't completely drunk." He last saw her at 2:30AM on July 23, 2011 then checked in on her at 10AM, finding her passed out on her bed, face down and fully clothed. He didn't realize something was wrong until he saw her in the same position at 3PM. He called for help, and paramedics pronounced her dead after they arrived. Her laptop was on the bed next to her, and two empty bottles of vodka were found on the floor nearby.

Winehouse's doctor Christina Romete testified that Winehouse, who battled addiction for years, started drinking again three weeks earlier out of boredom and came in for an appointment the day before she died. "In the course of the last consultation, Amy did not appear to be depressed at any stage," Romete said. "She specifically said she did not want to die."

According to the coroner's report, Winehouse had 416mg of alcohol per decilitre in her blood, five times the legal driving limit (350mg is potentially enough to be fatal). The original inquest was thrown out after deputy coroner Suzanne Greenaway was found to be under-qualified.

zap dog4 - no one cares about you either. Even if you don't agree with her lifestyle, she was a true talent and certainly no *****. You just enjoy trash talking because you are a piece of ****.

Winehouse led a life destined to end in tragedy. That a human being died this way is the supreme tragedy; that one so talented did adds to the gravity.

Goes to show that fame, money, status, or what some would call living or having a life isn't enough to deal with personal demons. Most are lonely heart broken pathetic souls; which enough is never enough for them, usually engaging in behaviors which are either harmful to themselves or others......but stil loved her voice and pray that the Lord had mercy on her soul!

All of that talent. We don't know why these things happen. God rest her soul. Have you seen and heard her sing with Tony Bennett? Unreal.
