Janis called in on her daughter unannounced on the Friday and apparently found the 27-year-old to be in such a mess that her minders had to carry her down the stairs, according to The Mirror.
A source said that Janis told them, “Amy was completely out of it. She was in such a state the guys minding her had to go upstairs to get her and help her down the steps. It looked like she had been out drinking the night before and was still drunk or hung-over.”
The Back To Black singer was found dead in her bed the following day at around 4pm and Janis is said to have no idea what she got up to on the hours in between.
“I don’t know what happened on that Friday night. I was told she was seen drinking in the bar at the Roundhouse that evening. But how much she drank and what happened next is a mystery,” she said, according to the insider.
“I just think she put her body through too much and it just gave up. If you continue to neglect yourself, there is only so much it can take.”
Her dad Mitch had previously claimed that Amy had given up drugs and had stopped drinking three weeks before her death.
