Four Birthdays and a Funeral (III)

Birthday 3: Scavangers and Superstars

Third Birthday was nothing like Hillary singing before 100 Fat Cats in New York. It did not involve famous Conservative Republicans joining us for lunch either. In fact, the highlight here is her “murder”. That is the main reason why it became the third episode in this “Four Birthdays and a Funeral” chapter.

ADDICTIONS & NATURAL CAUSES

I believe she did not die in vain. Our encounter in life must have had a divine reason. For example, since her passing in 2011, she is still in our minds. Currently, we are doing a movie from our point of view to set her legacy straight.

Opioids

Before Joe Biden became the 46th president of the US, about 50 thousand people were Opioid victims each year. Since then, it has accelerated. At the end of this decade, more than 1 million will die per year in the US.

How much leadership in the country is responsible for such a rapid rise of calamity? After all, the death rate of this scourge was minimal until Joe arrived. In his years, the numbers quadrupled.

Alcohol

Meanwhile, our case at hand has to do with alcohol poisoning. We spent six months with our hero, during the last three years of her life. Her family, friends, and handlers, with an exception or two were bloodsuckers. Naturally, no one was around when she passed.

As a result, I conclude that her death by alcohol poisoning had to be a “murder”. Authorities did not agree. Like in the case of the Biden Administration, no one really cares. Increasing numbers of such deaths are all because of “natural causes.”

Four Birthdays and a Funeral (III)

Daphne Barak Amy Winehouse

I met Amy Winehouse at the London hospital. I was told she was under the bed in a dark room with curtains shut.

INSTEAD, I found her with a smoke on her mouth, and locking eyes with me. She was nothing but a prisoner of the scavengers around her.

I was instrumental in her escape to her freedom. She vaulted to St. Lucia within 24 hours after our tete-a-tete, so to speak.

Her hope to spend private time with Daphne Barak was her main reason. She jumped on the opportunity to break the chains that were shackling her.

Our Week in St. Lucia with Amy Winehouse

That was 14 years ago.

If it was now, we could have made a bigger difference. First, we would have known that an addict needed a long supervision and care time.

Two, we would have treated the “scavangers” differently. Finally, we would have evaluated the “variables” accordingly because she was a superstar.

As a result, when we parted that day, we could not have known that we were leaving her altogether vulnerable again in the hands of scavangers.

Four Birthday and a Funeral

Amy Winehouse was found dead in her apartment alone with two big and empty bottles of vodka. Amy was a well-known alcoholic, and alone.

Yet, it was an open and shut case for the coroner in the UK to conclude that it was “alcohol poisoning” and “death by natural causes”.

A year later, the coroner was forced to reopen the case. After reexamining it, nothing changed. The case was closed under the same conclusion: “Death by natural causes”.

Two questions warrant answers:

• What made the Coroner reopen the case?

• How did the Coroner determine the cause of death?

  • Did Amy choose to remain alone with two big bottles of vodka alone in a room that day?

  • Did Amy ask for these two big bottles of vodka to be delivered, in specific?

Surely, the Coroner must have answers for these two questions in the files it closed.

• If “no”, then perhaps, it is time to reopen the case one more time and reexamine it for the third time.

• If “yes”, then I have two more questions, but before we go there let’s get the answers for these two questions, first.

Makes sense, right?

Actually, it also makes it right!

About The Third Birthday Song

Amy Winehouse sang it to Daphne Barak, in April 2009, in St. Lucia.

She first dressed up for it.

Then, she made an entrance, with her one of a kind hairdo.

Then, she improvised it like Marilyn Monreo would do it.

It was two birds in one Birthday song.

The setting was by the poolside of one of the four villas we were occupying.

We were handful, with a family member, a couple friends, and her band members.
