"Amy Winehouse&amp;#039;s father Mitch has argued that the singer died due to an &amp;#039;excessive&amp;#039; detox regime.  The &amp;#039;Back To Black&amp;#039; singer passed away at her Camden home on July 23. Toxicology results found that the 27-year-old had no illegal substances in her body at the time of her death, though the prescription drug Librium - used to fight the withdrawal symptoms of alcoholism - was apparently found. Speaking on Anderson Cooper&amp;#039;s new show Anderson in a joint interview with Amy&amp;#039;s mother Janis, Mitch claimed that the young star had suffered a seizure caused by her extreme attempts to get clean.  &amp;quot;What happened to Amy wasn&amp;#039;t anything to do with drugs,&amp;quot; he reaffirmed. &amp;quot;Everything Amy did, she did to excess. She drank to excess and did detox to excess. &amp;quot;The periods of abstinence were becoming longer, and the periods of drinking were becoming shorter. It was heading in the right direction.&amp;quot; The full interview will air during the premiere of Anderson on Monday. Mitch previously said that he was &amp;quot;pleased to set the record straight&amp;quot; on Amy&amp;#039;s passing.  &amp;gt; Amy Winehouse&amp;#039;s father Mitch: &amp;#039;I wish Amy was here so we could give her a cuddle&amp;#039; Watch a preview of Mitch Winehouse talking to Anderson Cooper below:  video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
