Amy Winehouse’s Ex-Husband: ‘She Nearly Died in my Arms’
Posted by Adam
Amy Winehouse‘s ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil has revealed how the troubled singer nearly died in his arms after a three-day heroin and crack binge.
Blake said Amy’s eyes went blank and she had a fit before she passed out and stopped breathing.
“It was nearly midnight and I’d finally got her upstairs,” he said. “We were sitting on the bed talking. Her eyes suddenly went blank…
“She started having a fit on the bed. She slid down on to the floor before I could stop her.
“She started quivering again and it suddenly grew into what seemed like a full-blown epileptic fit.
“I held her to me — and I thought she was dying in my arms… I couldn’t bear for her to die in front of me.”
The 25-year-old star had started a drink and drugs binge three days earlier in a pub near Heathrow to celebrate the success of her 2006 album Back to Black.
She was taken to London’s University College Hospital where she was reportedly put on a drip after collapsing again in the casualty department reception.
Fielder-Civil said the episode was “the most frightening thing I had ever seen”.
Winehouse and Fielder-Civil recently divorced after two years of marriage.
