Early indications show her music is set to dominate the British singles and albums charts this weekend, mirroring what happened in the weeks following the death of Michael Jackson. The 27-year-old Winehouse, who had long battled drug and alcohol problems, was found dead in bed at her home in London on Saturday.
Her funeral was attended only by family and close friends, a spokesman said. An inquest opened on Monday and was adjourned until October, with police describing the death as unexplained. More tests are being carried out, with the results expected next month.
Her family was quoted in newspapers as saying they thought she died of a heart attack or seizure. Her boyfriend, Reg Traviss, denied rumors that she died in a drug-fueled haze.
