Never said that, in this day and age, everyone knows what heroin does to you,there's no excuse. she seen what it did to her mother, not everything is about mental health, She had the means to get clean. I hate how mental health is brought into absolutely everything these days, maybe she was just a selfish woman who thought she could get away with taking heroin whilst she looked after her kids.

Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't. Interesting how you're incapable of seeing the shades of grey that might exist in this story and immediately make assumptions on a woman you don't know from Adam.

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.

Bit far from an overdose - unless you know a bit more than the State Pathologist

State pathologist Professor Marie Cassidy told the hearing in Trim courthouse, Co Meath, tests showed the 24-year-old had had a “sip” of alcohol and very little drugs or agents.

Heroin? Jesus that caught me by surprise, didn't think she'd be into that stuff.

Such a shame, I know she lost her own mam young but risking the same fate was just foolish.

She had a long and more privileged life ahead of her she had good looks, money, good job, nice family. Guess it wasn't enough for her.

Feel bad for her husband, her kids and her poor dad also, he's done so much good and nothing but bad s**t happens him.

I once went through a very dark period of living and struggled to see anything good about life.

I remember sitting in my hall and my dog coming up to me and giving me a funny cuddle like he knew something was wrong, and trying to help me.

It gave me enormous comfort and the means to deal with the next day etc.

Sometimes just living is very hard

My cat did something like that with me when I was really low as well and it was very comforting too.

Yes, lets speculate that she was a selfish woman and beat her corpse with that to make ourselves feel better.

Do you picture her taking heroin and laughing like a maniac at how good she was at abandoning her children? Do you really believe that she chose dying from a drug overdose over being able to live without drugs?

Are you that naive to the reality of mental health issues coupled with drug addiction? If you are then I'd class you as spoilt before her.

it's tragic that such a beautiful young mother was in such a dark place that her life would end in this way whether intentional or otherwise

may she rest in peace

yeah, I know they only like licking tears off your face because water and salt taste good, but the little purring kiss on your cheek feels like they mean it, and if that helps, well done pet!

How was I lambasting them? It was a simple question in relation to their post.

Henlars67 · 01-05-2014 12:06AM

I really don't get why people who have everything going for them go down the heroin route.

It wouldn't be my kind of scene, but I do kind of understand the use of recreational drugs like cocaine, but why heroin?

For me it was literally my dog trying to say to me "what will I do without you"?

Said dog was with me when I was short of cash and living in a nice enough house, he died of a heart attack in kennels after I got enough cash to put in a nice kitchen.

I literally had hysterics when he died, will never forget it.

Non dog people will ask how could that mean you take three days off work

Dog people will say it's perfectly reasonable

Different strokes folks, my mum and dad were and are (mum) around for me as an adult, Peaches suffered a massive loss as a child at a sensitive age

That's hard to deal with and build a positive self image with.

Was it suicide though? A person could unintentionally overdose on heroin quite easily, especially if she was inexperienced with it.

I often wonder what's wrong with people, when they go out of their way to be so nasty about something tragic.

None of us know her demons. Drug addiction isn't a take it or leave it thing, and no one can see inside someone, or understand what it feels like when life is a struggle to survive what torments your inner self.

Fair comment, I shouldn't assume it's suicide.

Or if she accidentally overdosed?

Given her devotion to her children, is that a consideration?

I've never done it but would try in a safe environment.

From what I gather it is the single most pleasurable experience a human can have.

Of course it is, but it's the horrible characterisation in the post I quoted that got me.

She seemed nice, like a good person. She loved her kids and she had a tough life as a kid herself. Who knows what goes on with another person?

Were you not being sarcastic to that poster's comment no? Must have missed that.

retro:electro · 01-05-2014 12:15AM

I was cautiously apprehensive about commenting on previous threads about her until a cause had been confirmed. All the previous comments calling her a great mother; I'm sorry but a great mother doesn't use heroin with her young child sitting nearby. Disgraceful.

Addiction means the choice is taken out of the matter.

It's not something you should do, but a person who is in the grip of an addiction will rationalise anything. It's the sad nature of the beast.

It doesn't automatically follow that if she died from a heroin overdose that she was in a "dark place".

Maybe she was happy with life and also loved the effects of heroin and took more than she could handle.

Would you take that gamble ? A safe environment in Ireland is hoping someone around you has the realisation to recognise you overdosing.
I've wondered about what its like to try , a very internal escape rather pleasure ?

It is very odd, i feel like there is more to the story. She put the kids to bed then did heroin? was someone there with her and left, where was her husband? who cleaned up before the police got there because they found nothing.

It's still sad.

What d fukc were her "demons"? I can assure you right here and now that,whatever she felt growing up was a fukking pittance to what I and my siblings faced.

I say this also as a father who watched over my son,when things looked dark.Believe me,whatever opinions you have pale in comparison when,as an agnostic ,you beg from some higher Power to intervene to help your boy to pull through.

The disdain I have for her is as someone who pretended to love her kids yet does something so incredibly stupid and harmful,if true about the heroin allegations,she does not deserve sympathy,rather scorn.

You always have a choice.

Always.

steddyeddy · 01-05-2014 12:29AM

Well it's sad. I see plenty of people like her everyday in O Connell street. I'm not going to judge any addict because I don't know there demons but I feel for the kids most of all. They haven't been given a great start in life.
