'Amy Winehouse Dead', Google + Are Summer's Most Googled Phrases: Where is Kate Middleton?
Amy Winehouse Dead was the most Googled phrase in the UK this year, according to reports in The Independent and The Daily Mail. Google +, Google's own social networking service, was the second most popular search term.
The Independent reported that Google revealed the fastest-rising search terms over the last three months, and the Daily Mail printed the Top Ten Google Searches in specific categories, like celebrities, television shows, and movies.
Winehouse, 27, was found dead in her North London home on Saturday, July 23. An autopsy was inconclusive and results of toxicology analysis have yet to be released, although they can be expected any day now, as the results were expected four to six weeks after the autopsy.
Amy's father, Mitch Winehouse, had maintained that alcohol withdrawal contributed to his daugher's tragic death.
