“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,” read a statement released today by family spokesman Chris Goodman.

“Results indicate that alcohol was present, but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death,” the statement continues. “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.”

The initial autopsy had failed to determine the 27-year-old’s cause of death.

The “Rehab” singer was found dead in her North London home on July 23, after battling an addiction to drugs and alcohol for years.
