    She seemed to be so fun loving and I'm sure she will be sadly missed.


    I never watch sky news but I turned it in when I saw this news online.
    Remembered why I don't watch it when I heard the presenter ask qts referring to her party living ways. Ffs
    Tbf celeb news guy was really trying to put forward that she was a good mother .

    What we need now is for Kay Burley to come on and emote heavily while also managing to be patronising and smarmy.

    Very sad news.

    Here's a clip of the late Peaches Geldof on This Morning debating with Katie Hopkins.

    I thought she came across very well, and it's worth a look in case anyone assumes that being from a showbiz family automatically makes her some sort of irresponsible hedonist.

    Have a look at it if you have time.

    Heartbreaking to hear that news- especially heartbreaking considering all the Geldof family have been through to date. RIP.

    Same age as her, sorry to hear this. She seemed troubled a lot of the time (though not as obviously as others in the celeb world, so people called her more annoying than troubled). She seemed to be getting her act together more in recent years, especially after having children. Bob Geldof has had his fair share of tragedy RIP

    Kinda ironic, I was just reading the Kurt Cobain thread.

    Such a tragedy when childern lose there parents so young. As strange as it may seem, I hope it was natural for the sake of her family and friends :(

    Awful to think her poor babies will grow up without a mother just as grew up without hers.

    She was much too young, she had so much going for her. A fantastic mother with very informed and educated opinions on parenting.

    So sad, RIP.

    Just heard the statement from Bob there on RTE, terribly sad for the family.

    Bob Geldof's statement is pretty heart moving.
    Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is. Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken. Bob, Jeanne, Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Geldof

    Wasn't it a beautiful tribute to her? I'm not a big fan of Sir Bob but really feel for him.

    She seemed to take to motherhood very well. Her sons' birthdays are later this month too, I think. Pretty sure they're April babies. I think one of them may have been even born the same day as her mother. :(

    I don't want to think it's suicide. That would be terribly tragic.

    The speculator was right; heroin overdose.
    Peaches Geldof is dead at the age of 25. Police were called to her house in Wrotham, Kent, at 1.35pm today. The mother-of-two, daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, last tweeted at 10.17am yesterday with a photograph of her and her late mother. Miss Geldof - a one-time model and journalist - (pictured left with her son Astala Dylan Willow, and centre) was married to Thomas Cohen, lead singer of the South East London band S.C.U.M. The couple have two children, Astala Dylan Willow, and Phaedra Bloom Forever, born 24 April 2013, which would have been the 54th birthday of Miss Geldof's mother. Paula Yates was found dead at her home in west London in September 2000. She died of a heroin overdose.

    **Apologies, the heroin death was her mother's, I mis-read it.

    Unverified of course but one news source (mentioned but not named on Facebook) has suggested her death was caused by an aneurism.

    It really is heartbreaking.
    How much can one family endure?
    I really hope they find the strength to get through another very sad chapter in their families lives.
    Rip to the poor girl and condolences to her family

    I think you'll find that was in relation to her mother, Paula Yates.

    The cause of death hasn't been confirmed yet.

    There's speculation of drug use, but no one knows yet. The mention of an overdose is re: her mother. It's probably a weird thing to say, but I hope it wasn't an overdose.

    No, that article refers to Paula Yates death from an overdose.

    The excerpt you quoted concerns Paula Yeats' death from a heroin overdose, and nothing in the Daily Fail link refers to a heroin overdose in relation to Peaches' death.
