Inquiry into Amy Winehouse Death Case to be Reheard Next Year

Amy Whitehouse, who was 27- years-old, was found dead in July and the coroner into her case said it the "death by misadventure".

The singer was said to consume high amounts of alcohol and took drugs. An inquiry at the time of her death found that when she died, she had taken a five times higher amounts of the alcohol's legal content limit. The coroner into her case was Suzanne Greenaway.

Recently, it was found that Greenaway was under-qualified for the purpose following which she has to resign from her role. According to law, she was required to have a five year experience in the Law Society or medical practitioner to carry on with her role which she was not having.

In the wake of resignation, the inquest into death case of the singer Winehouse is to be carried out again in the following year. However, the family of the singer seems to be satisfied with the original inquest that was held while they said, "The family was happy with the way the original inquest was conducted and did not request it to be reheard. The verdict is not expected to change".

Mitch, 61, father of Amy said in a statement that he was not willing have another inquest as he doesn't want his family to go through the entire ordeal again.
