Amy Winehouse.RIP

According to police officials in London, the autopsy performed on late singer Amy Winehouse (who passed away Saturday at the age of 27) returned inconclusive results, and no cause of death has yet been established.

They are now awaiting the results of toxicology tests, the results of which should be back in two to four weeks. Since police have determined there was no foul play involved in Winehouse’s death, her body was released to her family shortly after the conclusion of the autopsy. Her parents are reportedly planning on a private family memorial for her as soon as possible, perhaps as early as tomorrow.

Fans continue to gather at the makeshift memorial set up for Winehouse across the street from the home where the Grammy-winning singer lived. Her father, Mitch Winehouse, addressed the crowd and thanked them for their outpouring of support. “Amy was about one thing and that was love,” he told the group. “Her whole life was devoted to her family and her friends and to you guys as well. I can’t tell you what this means to us. It really is making this a lot easier for us.”

I am going to pay my respects with some flowers, not drink or cigarettes, as some people have been leaving with the flowers and cards. She lived just a stones throw away from my family.

The candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long.

Tears in the Rain

You guys are an odd bunch. To get so worked up that some found her
death predictable, her attitude and arrogance about drug abuse foolish
and disgusting, and her career more hype than talent is really wehere
the trouble is. Whats too much for you folks? Who is a fool if not her,
who is not a victim if she is? People can be sad or mad so let all be
heard. Some think this post will be stupid, some think those who are sad
are stupid, its a big tent with many opinions and if you have witnessed
suicide or the downward spiral of drug abuse some take a path of
compassion and forgive all actions. Some get mad at the pointless loss,
the weakness of the addict and the pain it leaves behind.
When she popped up on the sad music scene if at first somebody didnt
know her by name it was quickly followed with something to the affect of
"you know, that junkie chic that sings about not going to
rehab". Now thats a great claim to fame!
I dont feel bad or sad, she doesnt deserve it. She celebrated her drug
infested life and went rehab to help her bank account by getting her
image upgraded. She didnt respect the gift of life, her extreme luck in
music (yes I am saying she was pretty average in talent) so why bother
respecting her? She ruined her family, friends and some fans with
eternal sadness so why would you celebrate that and be so ready to
lecture those who see her and this event for what it actually was?
She was just another spoiled brat who bought into the hype of those
who kissed her ass, now can we move on with life, we value it. Cheers

One thing is certain- this subject and the passions it inspires will quickly fade, and Winehouse will be resigned to distant memory.

That is how life works, it has always been that way, and it always will.
