Amy Winehouse’s dead body contained no traces of illegal drugs but did confirm that she had been drinking alcohol, a toxicology report has revealed.

A spokesperson for the Winehouse family said: "Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy's system at the time of her death.

"Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death.

"The family would like to thank the police and coroner for their continuing thorough investigations and for keeping them informed throughout the process.

"They await the outcome of the inquest in October."

Amy Winehouse's family have always claimed that the singer was not taking drugs at the time of her death, something the toxicology report has proved to be true.

Although her body tested positive for alcohol traces, it is not yet known whether drinking played a part in her death.

An initial post-mortem examination proved inconclusive and an inquest was opened and adjourned with no cause of death given for the 27-year-old star.

Meanwhile, a man who set up the domain name Amywinehousefoundation.com has said it is just “business”.

Only hours after Amy’s father revealed plans to set up a foundation for drug addicts, Uxbridge resident Martin McCann bought the web address.

Today, he insisted he was “not exploiting anything” and told critics to “detach yourself from emotions and think business”.

Amy Winehouse was found dead at her flat in north London on July 23.
