Troubled singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her home this weekend; a death caused by a binge of ecstasy and alcohol sources say.
The death caps the end to a short life and even shorter career.
While the official cause is not declared yet, Winehouse, publically battled with drugs and alcohol, and police reports indicate she fought her final battle.
"Police were called by London Ambulance Service shortly before 4.05pm following reports of a woman found deceased. Officers found a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene," a spokesman for Scotland Yard told UK's Mirror. "This looks like she has died after a drink and drugs binge."
Sources also told the Mirror that she died from a "bad" ecstasy pill combined with huge amounts of alcohol and the fact she suffered from emphysema.

A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman told the paper that crews arrived in under five minutes but "sadly the patient had died."
There were no signs of foul play, police said, and nothing suspicious about the death. Official details will not be known until the postmortem examine emerges sometime early this week.

"They tried to make me go to rehab," she sang on her hit 2006 single, "Rehab." "I said 'No, no no."'
Winehouse's performances were sometimes shambolic, and she admitted she was "a terrible drunk."
Winehouse had earlier cancelled a European tour following a disastrous performance in June, when she stumbled all over a stage in Belgrade The concert was so bad, it triggered a viral-video outpouring.
Her spokesman released a statement shortly afterward, saying the singer would be sidelined until she recovered.
