La cantante, compositora e instrumentista británica, en estas imágenes junto a su padre, ha sido encontrada muerta en su domicilio en el norte de Londres.
La policía acudió al lugar tras una llamada al servicio de emergencias.
Tenía 27 años, y aparte de por su inconfundible voz cantando una mezcla de blues, soul y jazz, era famosa por sus excentricidades, sus llamativos vestidos y peinados, así como por su dependencia de las drogas y el alcohol.
Protagonista de constantes escándalos y problemas con la justicia aireados por la prensa, reconocía sufrir también depresiones y trastornos alimenticios.
El pasado junio anuló su gira veraniega, tras una bochornosa actuación en Belgrado abucheada por el público ante sus continuos tropiezos y el olvido de las letras de las canciones.
Hacía un mes que había vuelto a salir de una clínica de desintoxicación.
La artista, ganadora de siete premios Grammy, tenía previsto publicar su tercer disco próximamente.

Singer Amy Winehouse, 27, has been found dead at her north London home.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed that a 27-year-old woman had died in Camden and that the cause of death was as yet unexplained.
London Ambulance Service said it had been called to the flat at 1554 BST and sent two vehicles but the woman died.
The troubled singer had a long battle with drink and drugs which overshadowed her recent musical career. She pulled out of a comeback tour last month.
Jeered at gig
Winehouse cancelled the European tour after being jeered at her first gig in Serbia, when she appeared too drunk to perform.
For 90 minutes, she mumbled through parts of songs and at times left the stage - leaving her band to fill in.
She had recently finished a course of alcohol rehabilitation in London and at the time was under strict instructions not to drink.
A section of the road where the singer lived was cordoned off on Saturday evening, as journalists, local residents and fans gathered at the police tapes.
Forensic officers were seen going in and out of the building.
Winehouse had won widespread acclaim with her 2003 debut album, Frank.
But it was 2006's Back to Black which brought her worldwide stardom, winning five Grammy Awards.
Rumours of Winehouse's death began circulating on Twitter on Saturday evening. Among those to comment was singer and actress Kelly Osbourne.
