LONDON (AP) - A second inquest in Britain into the death of Amy Winehouse has concluded that the soul singer died of accidental alcohol poisoning.

The first inquest also had determined that Winehouse had drunk herself to death, but the coroner was found to lack the proper qualifications. She had been hired by her husband, the senior coroner for inner north London. But she had not been a registered lawyer in Britain for five years as required.

Winehouse was found dead at her London home in July 2011 at the age of 27.
