    Hi. I came into this thread to tell you how little I care about the fact that this so called "celebrity" died. It's my civic duty to let you all know this. Before you ask, I'll answer the two questions you have:

    1. No I couldn't have just ignored the thread, as pointed out above I had to tell you how little I cared. Failure to engage would not have portrayed this enough.

    2. No I won't start a thread about all of the other women who died today or the motherless children. If you start a thread about this, I'll happily comment to tell you how lite I care. But I care so little that I couldnt force myself to start a thread on it.

    I might pop back later with a witty joke and to reinforce how little I care, just in case you didn't get it

    Great post, you really showed them.

    Not sure who's more annoying: the "devastated"/sanctimonious crowd, the crowd posting callous comments (plenty of them are NOT in good nature) and repeatedly saying they don't care, or the crowd going on about people around the world dying every day.

    The first crowd seem to be the least prevalent on this particular thread tbh. Most people are just remarking that it's a tragedy and no more - being normal in other words.

    If I went back and found a few RIP threads from when Hitchens died, by chance would I find any of these kinds of posts in them from you?

    I think not.

    Even sadder than Peaches demise is more than 5,000 posts on an internet forum in less than a year

    it's a tragedy for her family and friends, but to you and me it's just a news item

    I hope she's in a good place now

    I know it's a cliché but I really do hope that this extremely sad event might somehow be the difference between someone getting the help that they need and not.

    I think we need to talk more, we need to be more aware of our frailties, we need to be good to each other.

    God help her family and children.

    you seem to be assuming its suicide. At this time cause of death is unknown she has a family history of aneurysms e.g.

    After Hours=where humanity sometimes rests.

    Don't know too much about Peaches Geldof but it is very sad when someone so young dies and leaves behind so much with so much loss.

    I hope everyone connected to her learns to cope with her passing, God knows that family have had very bad luck, the irony is that if it was another girl who was not in the public eye people would just RIP and move on, but because she comes from a famous family it seems like some people think it is acceptable to cheapen her death and the pain of her family.

    Sad times.

    Very sad.

    Her father always seemed a sound sort of guy. To lose a daughter must be very very tough/ painful.

    thoughts and prayers with the family.

    Her siblings have lost a mother and a sister. Tough to cope with.

    I find when someone like this dies other people's reactions and endless discussion can almost make you feel meh about their death,totally not the individual who dieds fault.anyway RIP to the young girl,I hope her family and friends can hold it together.I didn't know a lot about the girl except for her parents,but I know she done bits and pieces for the guardian and had two young kids.seemed like a fairly nice girl overall.

    She should have died hereafter;
    There would have been a time for such a word.
    To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
    To the last syllable of recorded time,
    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
    Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more: it is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.

    The Peaches Geldof story being discussed on Prime Time , RTE 1 - sad, unfortunate and tragic for her family but hardly of significant national interest here?

    No point really in speculating. We won't know what caused her death until an autopsy is done.

    Ultimately, a very young lady, in the prime of her life, has died unexpectedly, leaving behind two babies, a husband and a family.

    Her family must be going through hell. I hope her husband makes sure their children grow up knowing her face.

    Poor woman. Rip.

    Her elder sister Fifi seems to have avoided the limelight very successfully. I can't recall seeing any "celeb" stories or pics of her. I so well remember Fifi's name being announced and all the furore surrounding it. Bob and Paula were a hugely popular celeb couple, likeable characters. Nobody could have predicted the sadness and self destruction ahead.

    Spent the day kinda sad and weirded out by the Luas/car fatality in a place I pass through quite regularly and passed by today on my way home, then find out about another death.

    RIP to the two women.

    Thought Bob's press release was a bit oddly worded - "she was the most bonkers of all of us". Hardly a grieving tribute to his daughter. RTE were trying to link it into the state visit as well on the six one news. Jesus wept, have we lost the run of ourselves.
