• Photo Gallery: From Robert Johnson to Amy Winehouse, Musicians Who Died at Age 27

Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment today, The Daily Mail, the BBC and Sky News are reporting. She was 27.

A press release from London's Metropolitan Police, which doesn't specifically name Winehouse, reads:

"Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05 hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased. On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene. ... At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."

Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death.

The Grammy-winning Winehouse, who has been in and out of rehab at multiple points during her career, canceled her European tour last month after a performance in Belgrade, where she seemed completely out of it.
