Singer Amy Winehouse, who achieved worldwide fame with her album Back
to Black, has been found dead at her flat in north London.
The body of the 27-year-old Grammy award-winner was discovered at the
property in north London by emergency services at around 3.54pm on
Saturday afternoon.
It is understood her death is being treated as "unexplained".
Her death comes just a month after she called off some European tour
dates after she was jeered for a shambolic performance during a
concert in Serbia.
Winehouse's 2006 breakthrough album Back to Black won five Grammy
awards, but her music has since become overshadowed by her chaotic
lifestyle and run-ins with the law.
