Blatter 'sat between angels, devil' during health scare
Suspended FIFA president Sepp Blatter says he was "close to death" when he ended up in hospital earlier this month.
He told Swiss TV he ended up "sat between angels singing and the fire of the devil" during the health scare.
Blatter was reported to have suffered a "small emotional breakdown" at the time.
His spokesperson, Klaus Stoehlker said the stress-related ailment had been brought on by the pressure the Swiss national has faced in recent weeks.
He's currently under investigation over a payment to UEFA boss Michel Platini.
FIFA's expected to reveal what punishment both men could face this week.
