HOLLYWOOD - Johnny Depp's daughter Lily-Rose was lucky to survive a battle with the deadly E. coli virus, according to reports.
The 7-year-old was hospitalized in London earlier this month suffering a mystery illness. It was reported at the time that she had contracted blood poisoning after stepping on a rusty nail.
But a member of the production crew on Depp's new movie Sweeney Todd claims her kidneys were shut down by the virus, which is caught through infected food and drink.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Everyone gasped when we were given the real reason for Lily-Rose's illness. It was touch and go for a while."
Filming on Sweeney Todd--directed by Tim Burton--was stalled while Depp and partner Vanessa Paradis kept a bedside vigil for Lily-Rose. It is due to resume next week.
