Absence of illegal substances in singer’s system shocks Winehouse fans

The absence of illegal substances in Amy Winehouse’s system at the time of her death has shocked her fans. ‘There must be some mistake,’ said Winehouse fan Pauine Roberts (16) from outside the deceased singer’s Camden home. ‘That’s what Amy was all about. Without the illegal substances she was just another singer. I’m gutted.’

But some Winehouse fans are pinning their hopes on the possibility that alcohol might have been the cause of the singer’s demise. ‘I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she drank a yard or two of vodka before she died,’ said Doreen Moran (20). ‘Otherwise I’ve been wasting my money on buying her albums.’

Sales of Winehouse’s music have plummeted since the news of the non-toxicity of her death broke.

And plans to set up a Winehouse Foundation to help combat drug and alcohol addiction are also being questioned. ‘If they have to set up a Foundation to combat death from natural causes instead, well, what sort of legacy is that?’ said a clearly heartbroken fan, downing a bottle of Smirnoff.
