Reg Traviss, Amy Winehouse’s heartbroken boyfriend, says of his grief over the singer’s sudden death: “I can’t describe what I am going through.”
“I want to thank all those who are mourning the loss of Amy – such a beautiful, brilliant person and my dear love,” Traviss told the UK’s Sun.
Reg, 35, wept beside fans who paid tribute to the music star outside her North London home, and again today at Amy Winehouse’s funeral.
Reg Traviss, right, with Amy’s father Mitch Winehouse.
Today’s service comes after police revealed they will have to wait 2-4 weeks for the results of toxicology tests to establish her cause of death.
A distraught Reg said that contrary to reports of Amy being distraught over their breakup, she had been upbeat and full of life in recent days.
Traviss said Amy had been excitedly choosing clothes to go to a pal’s wedding on Sunday. He added: “Amy kept trying to decide what to wear.”
“She had laid out her dresses to make up her mind. She was really looking forward to it.” Obviously, she didn’t make it, dying a day earlier.
“The last three days have been hell,” Traviss said.
Saturday, the film director’s world came crashing down when he learned Amy, just 27 years old, had been found dead in bed at her home.
“We have suffered a terrible untimely loss and want peace now. I can’t describe what I am going through. I want to thank so much all of the people who have paid their respects and who are mourning the loss of Amy.”
“She was such a beautiful, brilliant person and my dear love,” he added. “I have lost my darling who I loved very much.”
Reg, speaking of Amy for the first time since her death, went out of his way to deny rumors that she had been in a drug-fueled haze.
“She has been full of life and so upbeat recently, exercising everyday and doing yoga,” he said. “This terrible thing is like an accident.”
Reg Traviss had being seeing Amy for two years.
Amy’s family, who saw clean-cut Reg as the perfect boyfriend after her catastrophic marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil, thought highly of him.
A source said: “Reg has been dignified throughout his relationship with Amy. The family, they all love him dearly. He’s a good guy.”
“What happened in their life together remained very private because he was determined to help get her back on her feet properly.”
“He wasn’t interested in the limelight – unlike a lot of her exes.”
Reg, who spent yesterday with Mitch, Amy’s mom Janis, brother Alex and manager Raye Cosbert, tried to keep Amy safe from her demons.
But he spent a large part of the past year working on his latest movie, Screwed. Filming took him away from home. That left Amy to her own devices in London – and at the mercy of those who preyed on her addictions.
The exact cause of Amy’s death is not known. A post mortem carried was inconclusive and toxicology tests will take weeks. The singer’s family believe she was killed by either a heart attack or a fatal seizure, not drugs.
Amy had regular heart palpitations and had suffered seizures – likely caused by the pounding her body had taken during years of abuse.

Throughout this season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Danielle Staub has been referred to as a “coke whore” by her cast mates.
But spurned ex-convict Daniel Aguilar went one step further this week, telling Radar Online the troubled reality star is a “snitchin’ coke whore.” And, according to sworn testimony by Aguilar, he should know.
Last Thursday, Aguilar was deposed under oath as part of Kevin Maher’s defamation lawsuit against Staub.
A former drug dealer who was arrested in a kidnapping and drug distribution scheme with Staub three decades ago, Aguilar went to jail because Staub turned on him.
He said he met Staub when she worked as a prostitute and used the names Beverly Merrill and Angela Minelli. The pair started dating and working together, with Staub approaching Aguilar at one point and asking for four kilograms of cocaine to sell to her neighbor.
Aguilar provided the drugs.
But the neighbor never paid for the cocaine, and Aguilar believes he was ripped off by Staub and this man.
In order to cover her tracks, though, Staub allegedly began beating the neighbor over the head with a 9mm Beretta, threatening the man’s life. She told the man’s father that his son would die unless at least $25,000 was paid.
Both Staub and Aguilar were arrested for the incident and charged with extortion and intent to distribute cocaine. Via a plea bargain, Staub avoided jail time and flipped on Aguilar, sending him to prison for years.
Under oath, Aguilar admitted “I wanted to kill her because of what she did, but I realize that if she’s dead I’m not going to get paid,” referring to the $100,000 he’s still owed for the original cocaine shipment.
Aguilar even says he contacted Staub last month to demand the money, but she insists she owes him nothing.
It’s a complicated, layered story – and a lot of it rests on the word of a convicted drug dealer. Still, that doesn’t change the fact that Danielle Staub is rewarded for her incredibly shady, illegal behavior throughout the years with a six-figure salary and a starring reality show role.

With her cause of death having just been revealed, sources tell that Brittany Murphy quite possibly could have been avoided had the appropriate action been taken.
Assistant Chief Ed Winter tells Us magazine, “Had someone said, ‘You are going [to the doctor] and thrown her in the car, she might be alive today.”
Continuing on, Winter explains, “She was a sick young lady. She and her mother talked, and she decided to get a doctor’s appointment. She passed away about three or four days before her doctor’s appointment.”
As previously reported by Gossip Center, the coroner’s report tells that the “Clueless” star died accidentally as a result of multiple drug intoxication, pneumonia, and iron deficiency anemia.

After an investigation of more than seven months, the Los Angeles County D.A. is ready to charge Dr. Conrad Murray in the death of Michael Jackson.
Look for charges to be filed as early as next week.
Members of the D.A.’s office, including the Los Angeles County District Attorney himself, Steve Cooley, have already met about filing a criminal case.
While members of the LAPD still have not met with the D.A. to present the case, the deputy D.A. assigned to the Michael Jackson investigation, David Walgren, has worked closely with LAPD detectives on the case, is familiar with the’s details.
He has already briefed Cooley and others in the office.
It appears Dr. Conrad Murray will stand trial and soon.
Dr. Conrad Murray was Michael Jackson’s personal physician at the time of his June 25 death, believed to have been caused by the anesthetic Propofol.
He disappeared, or at least kept an extremely low profile, for several months, only to return to work lately because dude was behind on child support.
He’s already lawyered up in anticipation of the charges to come.
The most likely of those charges? Involuntary manslaughter. Murder is a hard sell, as he surely didn’t mean to take the life of the King of Pop that day.
Many believe his negligence and/or shady medical practices played a role in MJ’s death, however, and that’s enough to warrant serious charges.
