Former England footballer, Paul Gascoigne, has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act, the BBC News reports (4 June 2008).
His sister, Anna Gascoigne, is quoted in the piece: "He's been drinking, I believe, to escape, to get away, and it's been a vicious circle. I have feared for his life, especially I would say the last couple of weeks.
"It had literally gotten to the point where I was having to be with him constantly, to the point where I was taking him to hospital because I believed that he needed help."
Anna Gascoigne talked to ITV News and told them about her concern for his "dangerous mix" of depression and addiction.
