In what amounts to the least surprising news of the year, singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment this morning. She was 27 years old.

Winehouse, whose albums have won dozens of awards over the past few years, fought a very public battle with drugs and alcohol addiction. She was a flamboyant and controversial – but brilliant – musician.

The cause of death is unclear at this point. However, it’s believed to have been a drug overdose. Winehouse was already dead by the time paramedics were dispatched.
