LONDON: Heather Mills, the estranged wife of Paul McCartney, fears for her life because she has been getting death threats after she split from the Beatles legend.

Mills told BBC that she felt “severely upset and severely depressed” in the past half a year, contactmusic.com reported. She added that her personal trainer was protecting her but he was not her lover. She is more depressed than the time when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident. Mills is also in a whirlwind situation with the media — recently she was seen holding a notepad with legal notes. On the pad was scribbled: “I am seeking an order for occupation of the matrimonial home.”
