Andy Gibb was using drugs but none were found in his system at the time of his death. Same thing with Michael and Brittany Murphy. Just because drugs always seem to be what is presumed to be a cause, it's actually caused by something else. Drugs may have triggered it but the body is triggered by whatever effects it goes through drug addiction or not.

Andy actually had stopped using for awhile, he was getting clean and he had been staying with Brother Robin Gibb and then was rushed to the hospital, it was found that he had a heart ailment most likely made worse by the drugs of the years doing them, he had a heart problem before it, and it does run in the family. Maurice Gibb died, and people thought he drank himself to death and yet he had been sober for years, as Maurice said of Andy's death, he said the press was like "Oh bad news, it wasnt drugs" cause u see dieing of a heart ailment dont sell papers and records.

Yeah I remembered that's how it happened too. sad

She would not have died from kidney failure. That would take hours, much longer than overnight. The side effects would send you to the hospital before you died.

Physical Symptoms of Kidney Failure

The kidneys filter waste from the bloodstream and regulate the amount of water contained within the blood. When the kidneys fail to do their job, the waste accumulates in the body. This build up of waste may cause several symptoms.

Energy Level: The first thing you may notice is a loss of energy. You may become more sleepy or lethargic. Your sleeping patterns may change; you might sleep more during the day or have difficulty sleeping at night. As things progress, you will sleep more and more and eventually lose consciousness altogether.

Mental Changes: You might notice mild confusion early on that may progress to disorientation, anxiety, or delirium. Any discomfort from these mental changes can usually be easily managed with gentle reassurance from loved ones and health care professionals and the use of medications, if needed.

Muscle Changes: As minerals build up in the blood, you may notice muscle twitching, tremors, or even seizures. Medications can be given to prevent seizures and treat them if they occur. Gentle massage can relieve discomfort caused by muscle twitching or spasms.

Skin Changes: A build up of a chemical called urea in the blood may cause your skin to itch. You may even develop a fine white powder on your skin. Itching can usually be controlled with topical creams or antihistamines such as Benedryl.

Appetite and Weight Changes: As with any serious illness, your appetite will decrease and may cease altogether. There is no need to force yourself to eat if your body doesn't feel like it. Doing so may only make you feel worse. You may lose weight as your appetite wanes or you might gain weight as your body retains extra fluid. If you are not producing much urine but still drinking fluids, you might notice your feet, legs, abdomen, and other areas of your body swell with excess fluid.

Changes in Urination: You may pass little or no urine at all. If this is the case for you, limiting the amount of fluid you drink may improve your comfort by decreasing the amount of excess fluid in your body. As mentioned above, excess fluid will lead to swelling of the feet, legs, abdomen, and other areas of the body. The fluid may congest the lungs, making breathing difficult, and strain the heart. If you are not producing any urine, death will usually occur quite soon, usually within one to two weeks. If, however, you are still producing some urine, you could live much longer.

Breathing Changes: The build up of acids in the blood may cause changes in breathing. You may breath faster and more shallow. This breathing is generally not uncomfortable. If fluid has accumulated in the lungs, you may have shortness of breath, also known asdyspnea. There are things you can do to ease shortness of breath like sitting upright, using oxygen and a fan directed at your face, and taking medications such as morphine.

More tips to help manage dyspnea

If you are at home, it's important to have medications on hand to treat symptoms that may occur. A comfort kit of medications can be kept on hand "just in case". Whether you are at home or in a health care facility, a knowledgeable and compassionate hospice team can help you manage any symptoms that arise while helping you and loved ones prepare for death. With your symptoms well managed by professionals, you can focus on what is most important to you during this time.

Death is rarely a welcome guest but death from kidney failure may be the most gentle and comfortable death any of us could ask for.

How?

No trauma, illegal drugs or toxins.

Minimal alcohol in her system, so a drug interaction is unlikely.

People do 'just die' at any age. Causes unknown.

Perhaps she died of some other natural cause. Maybe an aneurysm, or pulmonary embolism. Although I wouldn't be surprised if her years of abusing drugs, be she on them at the time of death or not, may have contributed to her death. Even addicts who get clean do suffer from other health problems...

In any case...RIP, Amy...pray

I thought of murder or poisoning too but let the thought slide. I believe the seizure theory from going cold turkey, but then if there is alcohol in her system but not an OD....

see i have read that a couple of days prior to her death she had a visit from her mum, and she was so drunk she couldn't make it to the door and had to be carried. But that could just be trash talk.

cool

Me too... it's a possibility I think.

Also, the 'drug overdose' seems to be an easy, over-used, rampant reason/explanation for all these celebs' deaths imo. Sounds suspicious to me...

In any case, drawing conclusions from non-independently double-checked press reports amounts to just that - "jumping to conclusions" - imo.
