Amy Winehouse drank herself to death alone only a day after meeting her mother for lunch and telling her: ‘I love you, Mum.’
The multi-millionaire singer had repeatedly tried but failed to overcome her addiction to alcohol, particularly vodka, and drugs.
Miss Winehouse, 27, was found at her North London home by a bodyguard on Saturday afternoon.
She was believed to be ‘devastated’ after splitting up with her on-off boyfriend, film director Reg Traviss, who was seen outside her home hours after her body was discovered.
Her family will be given the results of a post-mortem examination today which will finally allow them to bury her.
Amy's mother Janis told yesterday how she saw her daughter the day before she died, describing her as 'out of it'.
She told The Sun: 'Her passing so suddenly still hasn't hit me, adding that Amy told her she loved her.
'They are the words I will always treasure,' she said. I'm glad I saw her when I did.'
It has been claimed Amy had bought drugs the night before her death but a preliminary police investigation has shown no drug paraphernalia was found at Miss Winehouse’s £2.5million home.
Police sources have indicated she died following a drink binge.
Asked about the circumstances of Miss Winehouse's death, her PR spokesperson Chris Goodman told The Sun: 'Amy was on her own at home apart from a security guard who we had appointed to help look after her over the past couple of years.
'She was in her bedroom after saying she wanted to sleep and when he went to wake her he found she wasn't breathing.'
'He called the emergency services straight away. He was very shocked. At this stage no-one knows how she died. She died alone in bed.'
It was also claimed Miss Winehouse may have been dead for up to six hours before she was found by her security guard, Andrew Morris.
A source told the newspaper: 'Rigor mortis had set in, indiciating she is likely to have been dead for anything up to six hours.'
The singer had lunch with her mother Janis the day before she died. Mrs Winehouse believed her daughter’s death had been ‘only a matter of time’.
They had met in Camden and Mrs Winehouse said her daughter had ‘seemed weary, but that wasn’t particularly unusual as she always went to bed late. Her passing so suddenly still hasn’t hit me’.
As mother and daughter kissed on the doorstep of Miss Winehouse’s home, she said: ‘I love you, Mum.’
‘They are the words I will always treasure and always remember Amy by,’ said Mrs Winehouse, who lives in Enfield, North London.
