Johnny Depp's Daughter Had E.coli Virus.

JOHNNY DEPP's daughter LILY-ROSE was lucky to survive a battle with the deadly E.coli virus, according to reports.

The seven-year-old was hospitalised 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 (26MAR07).
