The article seems to be misdated but it's seems legit since Google News is flooded with death report.

Not only misdated but she didn't even die in that article


QuoteAmy Winehouse's ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil has described how he feared his wife was dying in his arms after a three-day drug binge.

Yeah, that's a crap article, for sure.  Even has a sub-headline quote that's not in the article.  Shades of National Inquirer!

What is the proper way to respond to this thread?  I never listened to her music, and only knew of her because of her horrible health caused by drug problems.  So I only really knew of her as "That chick with the funny hair who is going to die soon".  What would the proper post in a thread like this?  I really don't know, and don't want to sound callous.  This is for future reference, of course I probably already sound like an asshole.  So how could not sound like an asshole and still make a meaningful post in a thread like this in the future?

True, she always seemed a celebrity death waiting to happen.
But that she has always been that way and endured makes it odd it has finally happened.

I'm thinking the fame contributed, but she was mega-fucked-up anyway, so i think she was going to die young of alcohol poisoning no matter what.

Blacked out from drinking too much three times a week?  That's some heavy shit, and she was surrounded by enablers from a young age.

Interestingly, in the last Daily Mail article, nine days ago, about her before her death, there was this message posted at it's end.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2014609/Amy-Winehouse-goes-walk-Camden-just-weeks-cancelled-European-tour.html (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2014609/Amy-Winehouse-goes-walk-Camden-just-weeks-cancelled-European-tour.html)

And the subject of that last article, she'd gone for a walk near her Camden flat; 'UK tabloid press' is a synonym for intrusion.

"Sad, but not surprising" would be a reasonable but not too snarky response.

Yeah, "Woman takes a walk" is a pretty lame headline, but about the level of what you expect from tabloid journalism.

Seriously? She's so typically North London Jewish, I'm amazed the coroner didn't find "JP" through her like a stick of rock. I spent much of my youth avoiding girls like her. I mean, have you seen her nose sideways on?

Edit: Just adding I didn't avoid them due to anti-Semitism, but because they were stuck-up anorexic daddy's girls who dominated every am-dram group and music school.
