Forensic experts, who carried out all the necessary procedures, reported that pneumonia, complicated by an overdose of drugs against the background of iron deficiency anemia, became the cause of the actress's cardiac arrest.

Amy Winehouse (1983 - 2011)
The British soul singer, dubbed "the new Billie Holiday" by journalists, was found dead in her lonely bed at her home on July 23, 2011. Death, according to the conclusion of forensic experts, occurred for a complex reason: from an overdose of alcohol and drugs, as well as due to emphysema, which the artist was diagnosed with three years earlier. Amy, as if competing with someone in the scale of drug use and drinking, got into the sinister "club-27", where her idols Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin were already staying. Her farewell was held in the oldest London synagogue: the place of the funeral ceremony was literally blocked by hundreds of reporters, and the plea of the relatives of the deceased to spare their feelings had no effect. The tabloid press pursued Amy from the very beginning of her career: a reckless and self-pitying tragic Jewish girl became an ideal heroine for the “yellow” publications and at the same time a victim. The paparazzi were on duty 24/7 near her house in Camden, and videos of the singer staggering, barely alive from crack and whiskey appeared on the websites of leading English tabloids with lightning speed. Amy's death turned her into a lost treasure: the same Daily Mirror and Daily Mail, which for several years painted the image of a downgraded drug addict, published tearful obituaries. Which once again confirmed the thought of the philosopher Baudrillard: the celebrity cult in modern society is a form of necrophilia.

Later it turned out that the girl really committed suicide, and this is due to the Rose of the World organization, which conducts “personal development trainings” in Moscow. Participants there are asked to talk about the most terrible events that happened to them in life.
Ruslana went to trainings at Rosa for almost a year. A few months after the final sessions, she completely broke down. Then she returned to New York to look for work. A few months before her death, she wrote: “I am completely lost, will I ever find myself?”

Organizations like the Rose of the World, experts say, “act like drugs on people: first they provide peak experiences, and then their supporters always come back to experience them again. Serious problems begin when people leave there. Training has already become their life - and they return to the void. Sensitive ones break down.
Ruslana was buried on July 7, 2008 at the Khovansky cemetery in Moscow. According to her mother, "my daughter loved this city very much and would like her beloved Moscow to become her last refuge."
3. Kurt Cobain shot himself in his country house. Before committing suicide, the rocker wrote a suicide note
The leader of the cult Nirvana band Kurt Cobain is considered one of the idols of rock music. At the age of 27, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a gun.
His body was discovered at his Seattle home on April 8, 1994, four days after his death. The police report said that the musician was found lying on the floor, shot through the head, with a gun on his chest.
Kurt left a suicide note, written with a red ink pen, in which he complained that he had not been enjoying listening to and writing music for a long time and confessed to feelings of guilt in front of his loved ones and fans, which he could not cope with.
“I speak the language of an experienced simpleton who would rather be castrated by an infantile whiner. This note should be easy to understand. All the warnings of punk rock courses over the years, since my introduction to the so-called ethics that require independent acceptance by your community, have proven true.
It's been a long time since I've felt the excitement of listening to and making music and reading books. These words make me feel guilty. For example, when we stand backstage, the lights go on and the frenzied roar of the crowd is heard, it does not evoke in me the same emotions as Freddie Mercury did. He takes great pleasure in the adoration of the crowd, it causes me admiration and envy. In fact, I cannot deceive you. It would just be unfair to you or me. The worst crime, in my opinion, is to fool people by pretending to get the maximum pleasure. Sometimes I feel like I have to break the clock when I go on stage.
I did everything in my power to sort out my problem (but, God knows, it's not enough). I appreciate that the creativity of our group touched the feelings of many people. I must be one of those "narcissists" who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to freeze my feelings a little in order to regain the enthusiasm that I had as a child. During our last three tours, I began to appreciate my acquaintances and just fans of the band much more. But I can't shake the feeling that I only evoke disappointment, embarrassment, and sympathy in these people. There is something good in all of us, and I think I just love people too much. So much so that it's what makes me so fucking sad. Sad, small, sensitive, appreciating nothing man-Pisces (Kurt's zodiac sign. - Approx. ed.). My God! Why doesn't it suit you? I don't know! I have a goddess wife who is full of ambition and compassion, and a daughter who is so much like me - the way I used to be. Loving and cheerful, welcoming every person she sees, because everything is good and does not harm her. And it terrifies me to the point where I can hardly contain myself.
I can't bear the thought that Francis could become the same miserable, self-destructive rocker that I have become. I'm doing well, very well, and I'm grateful, but from the age of seven I began to hate all people. Only because it seems so easy for them to live and feel compassion. Compassion! Just because I love and feel sorry for people too much, I get something in return. Thank you all from the depths of my burning, queasy stomach for your letters and support over the past years. I'm too strange, sullen child! I no longer have passion, and therefore remember - it is better to burn out than to dissolve ...
Francis and Courtney, I'll be at your altar. Please move on, Courtney, for Frances, for her life, which will be much happier without me. I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU."
A memorial service for Cobain was held on April 10 at the Seattle Center Cultural Center Park. Courtney Love read out excerpts from her husband's suicide note. The widow also talked to the grieving fans and gave them some of her late husband's clothes. A private memorial service for the relatives and friends of the deceased took place on the same day at the Unity of Truth Church.
Cobain's body was cremated. Courtney Love, a practicing Buddhist, brought some of the ashes to the monastery at the Namgyal Institute for Buddhist Studies in Ithaca, New York, where they were blessed and mixed into clay to make ritual memorial figurines, and some she kept for herself. In 1999, Frances Bean scattered her father's ashes over McLain Creek in Olympia, where Cobain lived and worked intermittently in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
