AMY Winehouse's father says he believes she died after suffering a seizure related to alcohol detoxification and "there was nobody there to rescue her."
The soul diva, who had fought drug and alcohol problems for years, was found dead in bed at her London home on July 23. Her family says toxicology reports indicated there was alcohol in her bloodstream but it was unclear whether this had contributed to her death at age 27.
Mitch Winehouse said on Friday during a taping of Anderson Cooper's new syndicated talk show that traces of the prescription drug Librium, which is used to fight withdrawal symptoms of alcoholism, were found in her body. "Everything Amy did, she did to excess," he said on the show. "She drank to excess and did detox to excess."
He said he regretted that his daughter - whose most famous song, "Rehab," has her answering "no, no, no" when told to go to rehab - was trying to kick her alcoholism without a doctor's help.
