Returned report:There were no illegal drugs in Amy Winehouse's system at the time of her death, confirms toxicology report



After her tragic death in July there was considerable speculation regarding the cause of Amy's death.



But today it has been announced that the toxicology results have been returned to the Winehouse family by authorities and confirm that there were no illegal substances in Amy's system at the time of her death.



In statement released today a spokesperson for the family said: 'Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death.'





Worse for wear: Amy had a long documented battle with drink and drugs and was often seen drinking on stage seen here at V festival in 2008





'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.'



Shortly after Amy's death a London drug fixer claimed he helped Amy buy £1,200 of crack cocaine and heroin the night before she died.



Tony Azzopardi alleged he helped the late singer buy the Class A narcotics in the early hours of July 23rd - the same day she was found dead in her London home.



The 56-year-old, who was introduced to the tragic star by her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, claimed he wanted her family to 'know the truth about what happened'.





Daddy's girl: Amy pictured with her father Mitch. Toxicology reports confirm that alcohol was found in her system the day she died but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death







Running into problems: Mitch has been unable to set up the foundation in Amy's name because Martin McCann has already registered the company name, seeing it as a business opportunity







Touching tribute: Shortly after Amy's death on July 23, hundreds of fans flocked to her North London home to pay their respects and leave tributes for the singer
