Amy Winehouse died alone in bed after spending her final hours in a drug and alcohol haze, according to published reports.
The 27-year-old singer was high on ecstasy on Friday night – and the drug, combined with “huge amounts of alcohol” and emphysema, lead to her death, sources told the Sunday Mirror.
A friend told the British paper that Winehouse ”spent the last seven days on a massive bender.”

It was a security guard hired to look after Winehouse who found her body, TMZ.com reported.
Sources quoted in the Mirror said they believed the “Rehab” singer, who completed a brief stint at the Priory Hospital in May, may have died after taking a “bad” ecstasy pill and then combining it with alcohol.

No official cause of death has been determined. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday or Tuesday, although police were “operating under the assumption” Winehouse overdosed, a source close to the investigation told TMZ.
Winehouse’s parents Mitch and Janis released a statement, saying, “Our family has been left bereft by the loss of Amy, a wonderful daughter, sister, niece. She leaves a gaping hole in our lives.”

Janis Winehouse also told the Sunday Mirror that she had spent time with her daughter on Friday, the day before her death, and the meeting left her with the feeling that it was “just a matter of time” before Amy met with a tragic ending.
