The former husband of Amy Winehouse is on life support in a British hospital after an apparent drink-and-drug binge just over a year after the untimely death of the Rehab singer, the Sun newspaper reported yesterday.
Blake Fielder-Civil (30), who was married to Winehouse for two years until 2009 and was widely blamed for fuelling her addiction to drugs, was found choking on his vomit last week after drinking and taking a reported dose of heroin, the Sun said.
His girlfriend, Sarah Aspin, told the newspaper that Mr Fielder-Civil had suffered multiple organ failure and that doctors had put him in a coma. “I’m praying he’ll survive but I’m having to prepare myself that he may never wake up,” Ms Aspin was quoted as saying.
Winehouse was found dead in her London home on July 23rd last year, at the age of 27, from what officials later determined was accidental alcohol poisoning. There were no illicit drugs in her system.
Winehouse’s father, Mitch, asked for prayers from her fans.
“Terrible news about Blake this morning. Remember Amy loved him. Let’s pray for his recovery. Mitch,” he said in a tweet. – (Reuters)
