Amy Winehouse's inquest could be declared illegal after doubts have been raised over coroner Suzanne Greenaway.
The inquest, which took place on October 26 2011 at St Pancras Coroners Court, said that the singer had consumed enough alcohol on the day of her death to render her more than five times over the drink drive limit.
The coroner, Suzanne Greenway, who conducted the hearing, said at the time: "She [Winehouse] had consumed sufficient alcohol at 416mg per decilitre (of blood) and the unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels was her sudden and unexpected death."
It has now emerged that Greenaway resigned from her job in November, one month after completing the investigation into Winehouse's death because she did not meet the strict rules governing the appointment of coroners.
Rules clearly state that Greenaway should have been a solicitor in the Law Society for at least five years, but she had only been part of the organisation for two-and-a-half.
This new information could now mean that thirty of the inquests she worked on, including Winehouse's, could be declared illegal.
Amy Winehouse was found dead at her flat in Camden, North London on July 23. She was 27.
