"He was admitted into hospital and sedated to calm him while they did checks on him and during the process his heart stopped. They managed to get a heartbeat back and now he's in a coma. We don't know whether he will wake from this. Tomorrow we'll try to wake him up. I'm by his side and want to thank you all for your prayers and support," he added.

Hamilton also said in his Instagram Story that he was to attend a Ferrari fashion show in Milan, which he pulled out of as well

Roscoe, who was adopted by Hamilton in 2013, has his own Instagram account with 1.3 million followers.
