Amy Winehouse's ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil has allegedly overdosed and is fighting for his life, barely a year after Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning.

According to E! Online, the 30-year-old has reportedly been put into a medically induced coma and remains on life support after suffering an alleged overdose on Friday.

The Daily Mail reported Thursday that Fielder-Civil, who has a long history of substance abuse, was found by his partner, Sarah Aspin, choking in bed Friday and was rushed to a nearby hospital in West Yorkshire, England. He reportedly suffered multiple organ failure and has been placed on life support.

According to The Sun, Aspin said Fielder-Civil arrived home on Thursday "slurring his words and staggering," and she feared that "he was on something." The couple has a 15-month-old son together.

Fielder-Civil and Winehouse, who were married for two years until 2009, had an infamously tempestuous relationship punctuated by reports of rampant substance abuse and fights. In 2011, he was incarcerated for burglary and firearm possession.

Amy's father, Mitch Winehouse, took to Twitter Thursday, writing, "Terrible news about Blake this morning. Remember Amy loved him. Let's pray for his recovery."
