Amy Winehouse's ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil told the London Evening Standard that he had to do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on Winehouse after she had stopped breathing due to a crack & heroine binge a few years back.

"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 didn't know how to help her. I was out of it on drugs as well. But then suddenly she passed out and stopped breathing. Somehow I managed to open her mouth and breathe air down her throat. At first nothing happened. So I did it again. Then she spluttered and I saw her chest rise."

Oh, and here's the best part of it all:

She begged him for more drugs while slipping in and out of a coma, but a friend called a cab which rushed her to hospital where she eventually recovered.

SMH.
