Pete Doherty's Rehab Suicide Bid


Pete Doherty is said to have tried to kill himself while in rehab when he discovered that his former lover Kate Moss had a new man.Overcome with jealousy, the singer downed a bottle of pills in a desperate bid to block out the pain.Luckily things didn't work out for Pete, who failed in the suicide bid after he was violently sick.Despite his despair over Kate, the Babyshambles frontman made it out of Clouds House clinic in Wiltshire this week after six weeks off the drugs, although the 28-year-old Pete has piled on the pounds during his latest stint in rehab.The troubled star's minder, Johnny "Headlock" Jeannevol told the News Of The World newspaper: "Pete's been really wound up over Kate showing off her new man."He saw an opportunity to take an overdose and took it. He told me he didn't know what the pills were but thought ‘f*** it' and took them all.""He doesn't care what drugs do to him, in fact, he likes finding out."Another pal of the rocker, who asked not to be named, said: "Pete was so low during rehab his legal team considered sectioning him under the Mental Health Act in order to get him the treatment he needed."It was touch and go with Pete for a while but he pulled through in the end."Pete's suicide bid came just weeks after it emerged Kate, 33, was dating Kills singer Jamie Hince, 39.Johnny also revealed that Kate was on the phone regularly while he was in rehab initially ringing him concerned about his well being, but when Pete started to quiz her about the new guy, she was evasive and it got to him.Pals now hope that the model will stay away from Pete as he tries to get his life together accusing her of being obsessed with the singer and messing with his head.
