24-year-old model Katy French has died at Our Lady's Hospital, Navan, Co Meath this evening.

Her family said it had been 'overwhelmed by the letters, blessings, gifts and prayers from people all over the country.'

The statement also said, 'we hope that you can continue to send your love to her as she journeys on.'

Her family thanked people for prayers and support and especially all the staff in Navan Hospital.

The Coroners Office has been informed of her death.

A 25-year-old woman has died following a collision between a car and a lorry on the N3 in Co Meath this morning.

Dunno was she hot though, so it mightn't matter.

Nice one Silver,puts things in perspective.

Pretty much.:(

Given that the OP hasn't been so kind as to provide a link, it seems to be real this time folks.

Show some respect for the dead and for each other.

Any speculation on the cause of death will result in a ban.
Any abuse directed at the deceased or her friends and family will result in a ban.
Any abuse directed at other will result in a ban.

I have cleaned up this thread.
Feel free to discuss this incident here if you wish.
Note that there is another thread in Celeb and showbiz. The same rules apply there.

Its desperate sad, my condolences go out to her family. I only saw her on Podge and Rodge a while back so its hard to take in.

But it certainly raises a good point.

I think the point went over your head.

Surely the # 2 post has to be put forward for a ban?

There are a lot of insensitive fcuks on these boards. Celeb or not people should respect the dead.

Cheeky_gal

This thread should actually be locked by the moderators, can't believe what arrogant dicks there are posting such insensitive comments thinking they're bloody hilarious. Grow up you losers.

Ciaran500

Can't see anyone trying to be funny...

I left the post by Silverfish there because it puts a bit of perspective on things.

It is completely on topic.

It's one comment and it's actually very relevant. Of course it's terribly sad that a young girl has lost her life - horrific for her family - but there are many other young deaths and they're not getting the same level of attention. Katy's family won't be bothered with the whole media thing. I've no doubt the very people with whom they'll find solace will be the other families who have lost a young person and who went unnoticed.

Excellent post. Sad, but true.

crosstownk

Irrespective of who she is or isn't or what anybody thinks of her, it's tragic that such a young life has been lost.

RIP, Katie.

Can't say i've ever heard of her before the other day.

blondie07

God it's such a tragedy. I never had much respect for what Katy did for a living but it's such a waste of a life and she was probably a nice person. Her poor family. It's so awful.

timmywex

unfortunate, my wishes with the family,

just read terrys post so i cant speculate, im fairly sure what it was though, post edited due to damm rules...

Same here. Tragic nonetheless, wouldn't wish it on anyone.

But I have to agree with silverfish to an extent, not just in this instance but many others.

Mrs_Doyle

I didn't know her, but that didn't stop me talking negatively about her in the past.
I guess now that the bigger picture has been thrown into focus I can see that she was a beautiful young woman in her prime, who obviously had a a whole lot of ambition and a good business brain. She made the most of what she had, and created a fairly successful career for herself. For that alone, the girl should be admired.
My thoughts are with her friends and family. May she Rest in Peace

TerrorFirmer

I said this on the other thread and I'll repeat it here. Please keep in mind someone has died. Your own negative personal opinions, which are largely begruding ones based on an intolerance of her career and mere speculation of cause of death - which I might add, hardly harmed anyone here - should not be allowed to interfere with showing respect to the deceased. Just keep them to yourself, or talk about it in a less public place at the very least.

Like it or not we don't live in Utopia. We're all well aware of the way the world works at this stage. Like it or not, when people die, they leave behind a circle of mourning. For a celebrity, someone so in the public eye, regardless of for what reasons, or whether you perceive it as deserved it or not, they're connected to so many more people and it's that much more of a reminder to everyone that death is, simply put, real. No matter what way you look at it, a girl, a young one, has just died. I can only imagine her family reading some of these comments, personally I feel sick myself reading some of the crap.

If you can't make something immediately good, then what's wrong with making it less bad? You my friend, are simply making a bad situation worse, and achieving nothing for it. If you're so concerned about the fact that so many people die daily - and they do, and it's a good virtue to appreciate that, I credit - say a prayer in your spare time, for even if they're not commemorated on an online forum, it doesn't mean they aren't mourned.

Such an awful waste of such a fine looking woman.

Completely disagree, and there is no need to make cynical comments about any tragic death. Being 'hot' is not relevant but indicative of the all too pervasive perverted comments to be found on Boards. The tragic death of a pregnant Mother earlier today has nothing whatsoever to do with the death of kathy French. A socialite, model etc etc is not the point. The point is there are two deaths and respect should be extended to both.

Your sense of perspective is flawed and the point that Silverfish is a Mod should not be missed. But that's hardly new around here.

OPENROAD

Sorry who is she?

Sad news though.

Fast_Mover

She died?!!:eek: Had hoped she'd pull through!
Oh my, such a pretty young woman in the prime of her life..here today, gone tomorrow..makes ya think.

I think you missed the point.

The only reason there are threads about Katy is because she was 'hot'

Nobody cares about some poor girl dying in a crash, because she wasn't a model.

And I think that's just ****ty.

Think you missed the point Sonnenblumen. I read that as 'the tragic death of this other woman will not get the anything approaching the coverage of Katy French's untimely passing, cos she may not necessarily be hot and relatively well known round these here isles'

Sad news though.

A young model who had become fairly well known over the last year. Reported in the papers as being cocaine-related though that hasn't been confirmed as yet.

GhostInTheRuins

Silverfish raised a good point. I've never even heard of her until the other day, all I know is she was a model or something, sad anyway.

To be honest those 2 guys in Waterford got a lot of media coverage.

Daddio posted that in response to an earlier post that said Katy "did too much cocaine" - that's the bannable post, not Daddio's.

that's the point I was making, there is no source for it so why was it said in the first place?

I was reading the Sun yesterday (why, I don't know) and there was a two-page spread on Katy with one column down the left-hand side about that lad in Waterford.

Rip

hairyfairy00

Very sad, my sympathies to her family and friends

Unearthly

Never really heard of her till the other day but very crap anyone that age is dead

Lux23

I got banned for saying something on the celebs and showbix board yesterday that was really similar to what that mod just said.

Anyway its awful sad, I read a bit of her interviews over the last couple of days and she actually a very clever girl and wasn't afraid to speak her mind. I always respect that in people. So I will try not to judge people over their choice in occupation in future. RIP Katy.

Nah. You're wrong mate. It's because she's in the public domain day in day out.I suppose you could call her a celeb and It's like you know her. I mean if an ugly celeb died he/she would get the same i'd imagine.

Guy:Incognito

Are people honestly whinging that something that happens to a celebrity gets media coverage? A celebrity is a celebrity because people know who they are.

I completely got your stupid point. Why not leave your hang-ups on 'hot' to the side and handle the situation with more appropriate sensitivity. I'm aware of the deaths today of two Irish women and death is painful for both families.

Your facile 'hot' point is neither helpful nor considerate but reflects msierably on you.

Jello

Sad indeed (not that I had buckets of respect for her), only saw her on TV not so long ago, hard to imaginge she's gone now...

Why ""? It hasn't been proven so therefore it could be a blatant fallacy? Whether it's likely or not isn't the point. There's no evidence yet, the investigation is ongoing.
And if it's untrue: while it's not defamatory any more, it's still a major allegation and will only serve to further compound her family's already unimaginable grief.

arybvtcw0eolkf

The poor sweet girl, may she rest in peace.

And may god give her family the strenght to deal with this.

To the world she was just one person, but to her family she was the world.

R.I.P.

jester77

I never heard of her until about 2 days ago. Don't know who she is or what she has done, but irrespective of this it's very sad to see someone so young pass away.

Im not disputing that, im just wondering if the mod will be banned as I was.
