Suicide or accident? Blake Fielder-Civil husband of Amy Winehouse
February 18th, 2008
Has it all got a bit too much for Blake? Amy Winehouse’s junkie husband narrowly cheated death after a drugs overdose in prison. The question is – was it a genuine accidental overdose, or was it a suicide attempt?
Blake Fielder-Civil was rushed to the jail’s hospital block when he collapsed in agony after taking what he thought was heroin. Guards found the 35-year-old writhing in pain and vomiting violently in a cell. They instantly set off alarms and activated emergency procedures to save his life.
A probe was launched and prison officers found he had taken a drug believed to be heroin, mixed with a toxic substance. A jail source said: “This was a close call, but he might not be so lucky next time. If he carries on taking so many drugs, he’ll end up dead before long.”
