Her father recently said that he believes his daughter died after a seizure, related to the drug Librium. Amy Winehouse was prescribed the tranquilizer to help with her withdrawal symptoms from alcohol.

There were no illegal drugs found in Amy‘s system in the autopsy which followed her death on July 23, however, Mitch Winehouse has said:

There were prescription drugs. She was taking Librium. It is a relaxant given to people who are detoxing. But it increases the chance of seizures. I think she had a seizure and this was the time when there was no one there to rescue her.
