Amy Winehouse was found dead this morning in London, according to information now confirmed by local, MetropolitanPolice. Medics apparently responded to an emergency call during the early-morning hours, only to find the singer unresponsive at her residence. Winehouse may have been pronounced dead just ahead of 4 am, local time.
The exact reasons for the death are unclear, though drug-related complications are likely. Results of an autopsy are expected over the next day or so.
The dire warning signs were everywhere. In June of 2008, Winehouse's father used the media in a desperate attempt to get through to her daughter. He feared she was quickly killing herself through heavy use of drugs like crack cocaine and alcohol.
Just a few weeks ago, Winehouse trudged through a performance in Belgrade utterly wasted, and her defiant resistance towards rehab was notorious. Sadly, her legacy will include one of her biggest hits by that very name.
