Depp's Daughter Had E.Coli

London- Johnny Depp's daughter Lily Rose, 7-yrs-old, was hospitalized for nine days at the end of February into March with what was originally reported as blood poisoning from an untreated puncture wound after she stepped on a rusty nail.

However, production staff on Depp's latest movie have now revealed what the illness was and claim the deadly e.coli virus caused Lily-Rose's kidneys to shut down.

An insider on "Sweeney Todd" is quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "Everyone was shocked when we were told the real reason for Lily-Rose's illness. It was touch and go for her for a while."

Depp and long-time partner, Vanessa Paradis, kept a bedside vigil while Lily Rose struggled. She was deemed well enough to go home the evening of March 8th. The couple has also a 5-yr-old son - John Jack.
