Amy Winehouse's ex-mother-in-law predicted son's tragic death in Leeds B&B

Amy Winehouse's ex-mother-in-law has criticised mental health provisions after her son fled a Yorkshire secure hospital and died of an overdose.

Freddy Civil, 27, died of a heroin overdose on April 26, 2021. He was the younger brother of Amy Winehouse's ex-partner Blake Fielder-Civil, and Georgette Civil's youngest son.

An inquest heard that Freddy ran from Fieldhead Hospital in Wakefield. From there, he checked into a B&B for £40 a night and overdosed - the coroner ruled his death was due to "misadventure".
