Police have admitted that there was a mix-up ahead of the inquest into the death of soul diva Amy Winehouse.
Scotland Yard said on Monday that "material relating to a forthcoming inquest" into Winehouse's death was delivered to the wrong address. It was in fact meant to be dispatched to the star's family.
The force declined to elaborate on the nature of the material but said it has been recovered. Inquiries are ongoing into how it ended up in the wrong place.
