In a conversation with the Daily Mail, Morris recalled the words the singer said to him before her death. According to the security guard, when they last spoke, the artist was listening to her old songs. Suddenly, she said to Morris, “Gosh, I can really sing!” “I said, ‘Of course you can.’ She said then that if she could give it all away, just to walk down the street without a problem, she would,” the security guard reported in a conversation with the service. The aforementioned conversation between Morris and the singer is said to have taken place late at night. Afterwards, the man left Amy’s house for a while and returned around ten in the morning.

At the time, it seemed to him that the artist was sleeping, so he did not assume that anything bad had happened in his absence. He became suspicious only after several hours, when Amy still did not get out of bed. When he noticed that she was not breathing, he immediately called the emergency services. The medics declared the singer dead. Later tests showed that at the time of her death, Amy Winehouse had 4.16 per mille of alcohol in her blood. The cause of death was said to be “shock caused by alcohol poisoning after long abstinence”. The artist had been struggling with alcohol and drug addiction for many years. At the time of her death, the singer was 27 years old.
