Authorities in England have reopened the investigation into the tragic death of Amy Winehouse last year after the coroner who declared the case an accidental alcohol poisoning was forced to resign amid controversy over her credentials.
Suzanne Greenway left her post as assistant deputy coroner, a job she was given by her husband and London Coroner Andrew Reid, after it was revealed that she had not fulfilled the requisite five years as a registered lawyer in the UK.
The case will be reopened January 8th to review Greenway’s findings in Winehouse’s death. Greenway had ruled the case a “death by misadventure,” meaning that no crime or foul play was suspected after the singer was found with a blood alcohol content  5 times the legal limit but no traces of illegal drugs in her system. Amy Winehouse, who had battled with addiction for several years, had only been out of rehab for two months at the time of her death.

A new biopic is in the works to celebrate the life of the late singer Amy Winehouse and her father Mitch would love to see George Clooney play his part in the film. The former cab driver is encouraging any studio interested in picking up the project to pick a “handsome” actor for the role.

“I dare say….who’s going to play me, George Clooney? I mean they’ve got to get someone good and handsome. But they’ll probably end up with Ray Winstone or someone like that knowing my luck.”

At one point it had been rumored that Lady Gaga would play the role of Amy but Mitch said that, despite his like for the pop star, she didn’t seem write for the role telling reporters: “I mean Lady Gaga, if she wants to come and audition for it…I’ve met her parents a number of times, she’s a lovely girl…She’s the same as Amy – she’s a nice kid, very nice young lady. She still can’t play Amy though.”
