Although the true cause of Amy Winehouse‘s death won’t be known for weeks, her family seems to think it had to do with quitting alcohol cold turkey!
It is being said that Amy was a heavy drinker trying to quit, but against doctors orders to gradually back off, she just quit cold turkey!
A family friend has said, “Abstinence gave her body such a fright, they thought it was eventually the cause of her death.”
The source added that Amy‘s father Mitch believed that stopping so suddenly caused withdrawals and stated, “He said doctors had told Amy to gradually reduce her intake of alcohol and to avoid bingeing at all costs. Amy told him she couldn’t do that. It was all or nothing and she gave up completely.”
“Mitch said the shock of giving up, after everything she had been through over a bad few years, was just too much for her to take.”
Shouts to People!
My deepest empathy to her family and all that knew her for the loss of lost soul who had just seemed to find her way in life.
