    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.

    . Why is there no diatribe by well known personalities about the high class pushers?

    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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,605 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 128 ✭✭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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,479 ✭✭✭Hootanany


    How is his Resturaunt doing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,479 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,167 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 406 ✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 406 ✭✭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:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,743 ✭✭✭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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 406 ✭✭truebluesac


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,250 ✭✭✭✭bumper234


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