It's as sad as the spelling mistake in the opening line of that article.

But seriously, it is pretty sad.

I predict this thread to get locked the 2014 trolls won't be able to contain themselves.

Does anybody really give a ****?? It won't affect my life so don't care tbh. She knew what she was taking and the risks that came with it. Live by the sword and all that.

Make sure they finish their orange and crisps before leaving.

Stheno

If true, I find it very very sad.

History repeating itself with her and her mother.

She seemed to have her life on track in recent times.

Tragic.

Meanwhile, in other news....

Stuff happened that matters.

Pwindedd

That's awful, if true. I really hoped it was natural causes. So very sad and will make her death a little harder to bear for the family.

Yeah, same as the breaking news regarding a scent of a queen's fart on a Tuesday afternoon around 16:13...

Slicemeister

What pisses me off is it'll (this story) be in the face of every young gullible kid addicted to this fame malarkey, and only gonna end one way in at least one instance.

What leads people to take heroin? I've done a few drugs in my time but not a hope I would take it seeing what it does to people. I'm genuinely interested in why people do.

I have to agree.
Stories about spoiled kids that throw their life away have no meaning.
It's sad for her kids but a non story.

Grayditch

Everyone's always talking about how having kids is the best experience life can offer.

Must be only the second best.

B.A._Baracus

In the other thread that got locked people were saying how likely a drug overdose was. Only to be met with harsh "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?!" comments. Well here we are.

It's sad what happened to the woman. But she brought it on herself.

99% of news stories won't affect your life. But thanks for clicking into the thread to tell us how you don't care.

TeddyTedson

It's always strange when a celebrity dies because although most of us won't have known her personally, you feel like you did from seeing her on TV from time to time. She always seemed genuinely nice and quite down to earth.
Not sure why people always feel the need to tell us they don't care... The point would have been accentuated without a post.
Especially saddening to hear it seems she died from a heroin overdose.
That's going to be especially hard on her two young kids and obviously the rest of her family.
RIP

castletownman

I for one cannot wait for Barry Egan to have a special feature on her demise in the Life Magazine. Making her a martyr to the scourge of overdosing on drugs the very same way he did with Katy French.

tritium

What a waste of a young life. Two little kids who'll never get to know their mother now.

seamonkey92

Awful stuff, waste of a woman.

Ye are some insensitive *****.

I think it was suicide by heroin. Posting a picture of herself and her mom so soon before dying?

Heroin is very easy to overdose effectively off of with a relatively quick death.

Nasty.

Frank Lee Midere

It was always likely to be that, given her age. I think they held the original results out of consideration for the family.

In any case RIP. We never know other people's demons.

Some people try it because they're depressed. I know that when I was at my lowest I would have taken it if it was offered to me.

In the other thread, some people were creaming themselves with speculation that it was a drug overdose and good enough for the little madam.

The "how do you know that?" comments were reasonable, because at the time of the other thread, no one knew. Now we do. And she's still dead and her people still wretched sad over it.

Her poor father.

sea_monkey

It might not affect your lives but seeing this on the news may make a young person who is about to take drugs think twice.

I highly doubt she set out in life planning to die from a drug overdose.

Peaches Geldof died of a heroin overdose, it is expected to be announced tomorrow.

It has been claimed that results of a toxicology report will be announced by detectives in the morning, as an inquest into the mother-of-two's death is opened and adjourned.

The 25-year-old, daughter of Sir Bob Geldof, was found dead at her country home earlier this month in what was described by police as a 'non-suspicious' and 'sudden unexplained' death.

The Times reports that police discovered no evidence of drugs paraphernalia in the house, triggering suspicions that the house may have been searched and items removed prior to their arrival.

Her 11-month-old son was believed to have been in the home with Peaches when she died.

hmmmm, appears someone tried a clean-up job before the police arrived

Agreed, extend it to her poor family, reliving the death of their mother, and having a second generation who have to cope with that manner of death.

I genuinely don't get the hate on here for the "celebrity" personality, this was a woman who appeared to have a very stable family life after an incredibly difficult childhood, who has died a very early and tragic death impacting on others for years.

Angry_Mammarys

I was really hoping it was natural causes, truly believed she was a wonderful mother, more like poor little rich girl, no sympathy for a person that abuses heroin, especially if they are a parent.

You see from that she comes across as a down to earth and articulate woman, not like the gowl sitting beside her. I'd actually seen a bit of that on youtube when it was in the most popular and thought she wasn't a typical brain dead celebrity.

Sad how it turned out in the end.

Eternal Rest

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the soul of Peaches, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Sleep Peacefully Forever.

Of all the topics to post on here in AH this evening (of which there are many), you chose this one. You cared so little about this news story that you skimmed though all the threads on AH (of which there are quite a few), this one obviously caught your eye, you opened it, read the OP, probably clicked on the link (I'd bet my liver you did, in fact), clicked "Post" and took your time to type this out and your trying to tell us you don't give a ****?


Eh...yyyeah.

Holsten

I really don't care as this does not affect my life one iota but why is this even news? She died how long ago? Dead and buried.

Why being up her overdose now? Does it change the loss her family have suffered? Her children? Nope.

Gutter journalism.

3rd generation for Bob, his mother died when he was young as well. Not of an overdose, but still. It's a lot for one man to bear in a lifetime, mother (ex)wife and daughter all gone.

I forgot that, she died of an aneurysm

mother, wife and daughter all lost early.

Hard to imagine how the man copes with all those losses

Why the **** would you take heroin when you have 2 little kids that need looking after? No matter what problems you may have, you don't do that.

She can't have been in the right mental state though. It's impossible for any of us who are not in that position to empathise. I really doubt she took it just for shits and giggles. None of us know what she might've been going through.
