Peaches Geldof

[237SJ]

I`m quite surprised that this is the verdict (if correct). It`s such a shame that history has repeated itself. http://www.independent.ie/woman/celeb-news/peaches-geldof-died-from-heroin-overdose-30234230.html

such a shame, so much to live for.

Very sad. I think it was only the toxicology report still to come, so was fairly likely- nothing else had been found.

[Butterbun]

Very sad indeed. Feel great sympathy for her two babies and her hubby.

[craft1948]

I find this quite heart breaking......

[jennyjoan]

I did think her death was NOT sinister but since she posted the last pic of her and mother before she died - it changed my my mind. However, all done dusted now - two little baby boys brought up without a mother - no matter - nothing replaces the Mater Dei. xxx JJCon

Tragic on all levels.

[ummmm]

Do the public really need to know how she died? Her babies will read these headlines one day causing yet more heartbreak.

It's very sad.

[murraymints]

Not surprised but still sad

[ummmm]

I am really surprised. She had two kids in two years. No drinking, no smoking, no drugs, no parties.

[B00]

I too wasn't surprised, I said as much in the original RIP post. Terrible tragedy for the rest of her family including her boys, but hopefully they can now have closure.

[ummmm]

Her boys won't even have memories of her. That's a struggle in itself.

[murraymints]

I'm sure dad and gramps will be there for them

[lady-janine]

very sad. such a sorrow for her family. she must have been feeling very low.

[mikey4444]

Can't say I am very surprised. Heroin is hardly unknown in the celebrity world. Like mother like daughter it would seem. These people have far too much money. But it must be hard for her children, who I feel very sorry for. Lets hope that history has stopped repeating itself now.

Could somebody please explain the difference between this troubled heroin using young mother and a troubled heroin using young mother from one of our less inviting areas that single her out for sympathy instead of condemnation?
Apart from the sainted Bob's surname of course.

[josaphine32]

So sad, I thought it would be drugs overdose, them poor children, I am sure they will be well looked after but to loose there mum its terrible, x

[Maydup]

Both very unfortunate Douglas; and as you say, troubled people.

[B00]

My answer would be the same douglas.

I personally feel it's terribly selfish to put ones drug needs before your childrens' wellbeing, especially one as privileged as Peaches was. However that doesn't alter the fact it's a tragedy for the remaining family once they die does it?

[mikey4444]

douglas...there is no difference of course ! But the cult of celebrity is king these days. Woody Allen said in "Manhattan" 35 years ago, that gossip was the new pornography, and he was right.

[Boto]

Not surprised - it was the first thing I said when I heard. Sad - but no more than anyone of such a young age dying and she died by her own hand.
