She made history in the music business, and her artwork is still applauded to this day. Amy Winehouse had a history of substance abuse and suffered from mental health issues. On July 23, 2011, the singer was found dead in her bed by her bodyguard, who had checked on her at 10 am and thought she was just asleep. Five hours later, he checked on her again, and she was in the same position.

Many people around Amy, including her doctor and her bodyguard, requested an autopsy to further investigate the cause of her death. Since 2008, Amy had turned to drinking after stopping drug use. On the night she died, the singer had three bottles of vodka— one small and two large— which resulted in a significant amount of alcohol in her body, enough to cause respiratory failure or induce a coma.
