    It's really sad. My Mother even said to me the other day she's 99% sure it was a heroin overdose and that the family are trying to "cover it up". Didn't want to believe her!

    People can say what they want, but nobody here can know what was going on with her. Poor family.

    So another junkie dies. Not anything of any significance to real people. Her kids are probably better off without her if we can judge her own mother.

    I thought it was sad, purely from a human perspective, but now we have the reason why, I have no pity at all and there are far better people in the world more deserving of our sympathy who have done nothing wrong other than be victims of bad circumstances.

    Its amazing how she was painted in the media as a super mother. People listened when she gave her opinions on attachment parenting and other headline grabbing ideas.
    Im sorry for Bobs loss but it really does show up the whole glossy magazine industry to be what it is. A big pile of fake.
    I hope the family find peace and Im sure she had her problems where doing heroin was the only way she could escape them and I dont blame her. Nor would my blame be anyway relevant if I had some.
    Rest in peace Peaches.

    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.

    Good thing she can't hear you. You'd wake the dead with that sanctimonious screeching.

    "Oh woe is me." Another person who thinks they have it so much harder than everyone else. You have no idea whatsoever what her demons were. I can't imagine growing up in the public eye and having your mam die of a heroin overdose is exactly a piece of cake, and that might be the least of it for all we know.

    Plenty of addicts love their kids but just can't pull themselves out of the addiction. If only everyone was as amazing as you.

    Bobs a cool dude, now if the mods were half as cool they'd lock this baby up.

    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.

    I dont see how painting her as a saint will be beneficial to other young girls wondering if gear is something they should try.

    This isn't surprising at all I'm afraid to say. Feel sorry for her kids.

    Well if it isn't yourself! No "woe is me"-I'm still alive,looking after my family as best I can without the use of opiates,good to know that only people in the public Eye can suffer hardship.

    Better arguement nex time or I'll ignore you:D

    No. She's dead. I'm just arguing with your ghoulish delight at the cause of her death.

    So another junkie dies.

    How dare you? She was a pretty white girl so therefore it's a tragedy.

    Tremendous woe is me attitude. What gives you the right to say your life was harder than anyone else's? How the hell do you know what her life was like? :confused:

    And I didn't say only people in the public eye can suffer hardship, I said that growing up in the public eye can't be easy. Do you see the difference?

    Yep on you go. What was I? A vitriol spewing monster. Now Im a ghoulish whathaveye.
    I have never done heroin around my children though or any children, never even tried it. I could have but said no.
    Should you really be directing your hate at me?

    How do you know growing up in the public eye isnt easy? It seems to me that you are making wild assumptions across the board. The reality is that she has had more opportunities in her life than the vast majority of the entire human race, so please forgive us if we do not share the same amount of sentiment as you appear to have.

    Whether she was a celebrity or not is not the issue, she was a junkie and she was so selfish that she chose drugs over her kids. That makes her one of the worst mothers out there, she is a disgrace and her kids are far better off without her. Hopefully now the innocent kids will be able to be raised by someone who actually loves them enough to put them first. She failed at life and thats it done. She is dead and that is all there is to it.

    She has a sibling that has avoided the spotlight,to the best of my knowledge,but as it was her bread and butter she courted it.

    Again,I will repeat it for our slower learners, I am alive,my responsibility is to my family,therefore I do not take heroin,drive recklessly,have fun etc. etc.

    What gives me the right to say that my Life was harder? Good question actually-but I would say,the poverty,neglect,beatings,hunger lies that had to be concocted so that friends could not come over, all these things that make me want to improve my kids chances in Life. I am aware that taking heroin will not aid this.

    So because it has been found that she died of a drug overdose, I guess you feel vindicated and came back to spew some more of that vitriol. Well done.

    What hate? Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they 'hate' you. Most people don't get so worked up about things.

    Sad thing is I bet Jane was delighted. Even more pathetic she/he seems to think her disgusting comments previous to this are now vindicated

    btw, some of the comments more or less revelling in her death are disgusting. Didn't realise there were so many flawless people on boards

    Addiction is an illness, not a choice or a moral failing.

    I think some people get a real kick out of making unpleasant comments, and are secretly glad that she didn't die as a result of natural causes.

    It's not hate. It's bafflement. I find it staggering that you should order the world in such a way that the death of a stranger is welcome proof of your hatred of celebrity magazines and trends in youth and motherhood. It won't be in the Coroner's report, but I'm certain that Peaches did not regret, with her last breath, that her messy life and death had failed abysmally to win the approval of a twisted Irish internet poster.

    I don't, I'm saying I could imagine why it wouldn't be. There seems to be an awful lot of people going 'spoiled rich girl' who aren't considering the other side of the coin. I wouldn't have wanted to trade places with her. That London socialite lifestyle is poisonous in its own way (lots of damaged people) and I do feel quite sorry for anyone who gets sucked into it.

    The fact you're going on about 'choosing' drugs says it all really. I've never met a heroin addict who really wanted to be a heroin addict. In almost every case, the addiction rose out of serious mental health issues and/or a troubled childhood. No, not everyone with those problems becomes a 'junkie' but some people are more frail than others. I didn't even LIKE the woman, for God's sake, but some of the judgemental crap people are spewing is making me sick.

    As regards the growing up in the spotlight point is bull****. She was a columnist that that agreed with anything rediculous to get her stories bought. She was a pap merchant that dragged herself out of the works pouch to dress the kids and herself up nice to get a kickback off the paparrazi who sell stories in magazines about how she has turned her life around.
    She got paid from people advertising on her twitter account which she updated regularly.
    She used the spotlight more than the spotlight used her.

    Again, good for you.

    I'm sorry you had such a hard time, but you have no idea what anyone else went through.

    I don't say this lightly. But your posts on this subject are the most disgustingly reprehensible I've read on boards

    You really are a nasty bit of work.

    I didn't paint her as a saint. I just don't get off on putting a dead girl down and pretending I can see inside her head.

    And I don't get off on coming imaginary first in the imaginary comparative suffering steeplechase, it's not a competition to see who can withstand the hardest hardship without being a junkie.

    It's easy to be nice you know, nobody has to be judgemental or nasty about the death of a mum of two kids at only 25. Shame so many seem to enjoy it.

    At least if you're a junkie you have a chance of rehab. Assholes tend to stay that way for life.
