Addiction to coke. Katy French's ex speaks out

TheLastMohican

She had built up a huge tolerance to it. A warning to other wannabes. Why is there no diatribe by well known personalities about the high class pushers? Would they upset too many people?

Her ex believes that Katy snorted coke on the night she died to the point of suicide.

yeah? well Sweeneye ,the State pathologist believed otherwise , so stick to being orange and seek your publicity elsewhere.

I'll never understand the fascination with her.

Junkies die every day. You make choices and live by the consequences.

Because they wouldn't be able to get sorted for a couple of grams in Lilly's at the weekend?

In just ahead of me!

Very sad for her friends and family. Utterly meaningless to everybody else. I had no idea who or what Katy French was then. I still don't. And I still don't care.

I detest the word "Wannabe". Thats my only view on this thread.

Hardly seeking publicity seeing as this info is from a statement to the gardai!

kneemos

Curious to know what did kill her considering she had nothing of note in her system.

MrPoker

What a publicity seeking twat!


Edit: Just seen it was in a statement to gardai. My bad.

Coroner said "she didn't deserve to die like that " . He really should have said " she ought not to have died like this " . The former comments should be reserved for innocent unfortunates like the Blaine brothers. I'm furious!

Hootanany

How is his Resturaunt doing.

Notorious97

Just another dead junkie, no sympathy for her

She was a good looking girl, had a decent enough career going, threw it all away herself and left her family devestated im sure. What a waste of life.

Stereomaniac

I resent that statement. She had a cocaine problem. I wouldn't say she made a conscious decision to take the stuff to the point of death, but I'd say she was losing care for her well-being.

truebluesac

Dont know about you but as far as "junkies" go i would have and dont say ya wouldnt have cause she was a beaut

She was young impressionable and led to a point where at some stage she taught drug taking was the norm and excessive drug taking made ya the one .the girl had neither the life experience nor the right guidance to make the right decisions in her life .

Is it possible he was referring to the lenght of time she was left waiting for medical care? Just a possibilty

If so, he was right, cant believe anyone would leave anyone to suffer. Unreal

Personally I think people who knowingly take illegal drugs should be left last to be treated . The genuinely ill deserve to be treated first .

where are you people going with 'junkie'. How self righteous can ya be, she wasn't looking for money at the luas stop with tracks on her arm.

At that time in Ireland calling a junkie a cocaine user would leave you pretty short on celebrities and socialites not that we need them but I really don't think she was a junkie.

She was unfortunate, impressionable and out of luck. She made a mistake, I don't think she deserved to die and comparing her to those poor brothers in Mayo is just crazy. Who gives you the right to preside over who deserves to die more than somebody else and using a relevant news story to prove your point is weak.

I don't know why they need an inquest and I'm not condoning her behaviour at all but I certainly don't agree with some of the holier than thou brigade coming in with populist Joe Duffy nonsense.

truebluesac

If she wasnt breathing is she not genuinely ill no matter ho she got herself in that state ?

Used to do my head in hearing about how "poor Katy was a victim of the drug scourge in Ireland"

She was NOT a victim of the drug scourge in Ireland she was an eager willing participant of the drug scourge in Ireland!:mad:

Wanderer2010

Why was her case so highlighted? Plenty of people have cocaine overdoses, none of them get an inch of media attention, and she wasnt even than famous ffs. A model who did a reality tv or two does not constitute a national treasure. The media makes me sick here at times. Yes, it was a sad thing to happen and her family are no doubt grief striken but dont single her out over all the other people who have died of drug related deaths.

And on that note, why exactly is Ducie "famous", is he in a band? TV presenter? Famous charity campaigner? Someone out there tell me why a grown man still working with his daddy is considered a socialite and worthy of media coverage, im genuinely curious?

So what would your order be, abuse of prescription drugs treated first, then abuse of alcohol and then illegal drugs?

Still a victim wheither she was willing or not . Still a victim

She is dead she is a victim . Just because she done somthing bad on the way or made bad choices doesnt make her any less a victim.

For instance sombody who drives badly by speeding or bad practice if they die in a road crash they are still called a victim .

Dont take away from the fact that this was a young life tragically lost to the world of crime and drugs

I often wondered this aswell.... the state off him, he could be mistaken for a rough farmer from the arse end of Mayo! I think that he had to be the middle man between the drug dealer and the user (or just simply be the dealer)! Can't think of any other plausible reason as to how he mixed with z class celeb circles and be regarded as a "socialite" by the press.! He worked as as trucker driver ffs, not morketing!

He was "famous" for being nobody....pretty much like 90% of Ireland's "celebs"

meoklmrk91

I find it disgusting that if this were some random girl down the country no one would care, but just cause this one was a model or whatever she gets articles written about her for years after almost to the point of being patronised. It's ridiculous everyone knows what drugs can do, those who take them like this are not victims or crime or anything else, just victims of their own self destructive nature.

Drug dealer or pusher suppliers are the instigators . The older people present both in her life and at the party should have known better but they where the ones suppling her . these were probably the peer pressure of the group that first introduced her to the drugs and told her its cool and what all celebs and top models do . And then when she made it big hung off her coat tails

celeb forum >>>

truebluesac

Correct and right . 100 normal joes can die from this and never be heard of in the media , whereas when a celeb who is already in the public eye and also may already influance young and impressionable dies it highlights the effects and dangers .

That is why she has become the "poster boy" for cocaine awarness in ireland .

No!!!! **** off right now with that oh poor her and the peer pressure and her hangers on are to blame. She was a well educated articulate grown ass woman who made the choice to snort cocaine! The moment she CHOSE to snort her first line is the day she lost any sympathy with me. No one forced her to do it.

Kathy french would be more in the lime light for death by cocaine than gerry ryan in my opinion . Kathy would be more of the influencal generationwith most of her life ahead of her when she died rather than a grown ass man as ya so put it

She was 24 when she died so if she was doing it for more than 6 years she was an even bigger ****in eejit and lucky to have lived that long.

Only cos Gerry's coke addiction was hushed up almost to the point of not being reported at all.

At 24 i taught i knew it all how wrong i was .

Anyway she was no saint but then again she doesnt deserve some of the names or some of the strong feeling of disgust shown towards her when none of us here really knew what she was like in person
