London: Blake Fielder-Civil’s mother has claimed that her son overdosed on heroin after reading a text from his tragic former wife Amy Winehouse.
The 30-year-old, who was released from jail two weeks ago after spending 12 months there for burglary and possessing an imitation firearm, came across touching texts from Winehouse in an old phone.
In one the singer, who died in July 2011, asked if she could be the godmother to Blake’s son Jack, now 15 months.
Georgette believes that it tipped her son over the edge.
“He had messages on his phone from Amy which he only got recently. He didn’t have the phone in prison and he picked up messages from her when he was released,” the Sun quoted her as saying.
“She said she wanted to be Jack’s godmother. The grief for Amy started again. I fear he may have been trying to take his own life.
Fielder-Civil, who has had a long-running fight against addiction, overdosed after going for drinks with a pal. He was found in bed choking on his vomit last Friday.
Blake had earlier confessed to partner and mother of his child, Sarah Aspin, that he was missing his ex-wife.
While Blake’s mum has been keeping a vigil at hospital in Dewsbury, West Yorks, medics plan to keep him on a life-support machine and in an induced coma for at least a week.
