Peaches Geldof

[237SJ]

I`m quite surprised that this is the verdict (if correct). It`s such a shame that history has repeated itself. http://www.independent.ie/woman/celeb-news/peaches-geldof-died-from-heroin-overdose-30234230.html

No difference, Douglas. Why would there be?

/// Tragic on all levels. ///

/// very sad. such a sorrow for her family. she must have been feeling very low. ///

These are a selection of your comments, WHY????????????????

It appears that she was a drug addict who thought little of her your children, yes that sounds harsh but there are many on our streets who do not live the life style that Peaches Geldof did, but are heading for an early grave due to their addictions.

Would those who show these sympathies, show equal sympathy towards a working class woman with young children who happened to kill herself on booze or cigs?

Why did she decide one day that she would really like to take some heroin? After everything her mother went through I would have thought she would never have gone near the stuff. I don't understand what goes through some of these celebrities minds.

[Gromit]

Agree with AOG.

[dunnitall]

Well said AOG, too true and yet these celebrities seem to get lots of sympathy but as you say, any non celebrity person would be called over for doing the same thing!

I was surprised.
And it is sad - sad for her children left behind and Peaches of all people should have known that. Sad, whoever she is, was or whatever her name or fortune.

[Sqad]

Sad, not an unexpected forensic report and it depends upon how you define "good mother" as to how she fits that description.

I have a certain amount of sympathy with the post of AOG^^

Why would the press leak the story before it was made public ? Why does this verdict have to be made public anyway .I thought she was a very intelligent young lady and will be sadly missed by all those that knew her .

[Bbbananas]

As do I sqad.
Just an awful thing all round, for all people affected and bereaved due to hard drug (ab)use.

[Sqad]

Hi! salla.......I often think about you..;-)

[Baldric]

All very interesting, and quite possibly correct but, just out of curiosity has the cause of death actually been officially confirmed yet?

[Bbbananas]

Ditto my petit sqadlet. :-)

[McMouse]

Any death is sad, especially those of innocent victims of the filthy heroin drug business.

[ummmm]

Human emotions are hard to understand, simple as that really!

[anneasquith]

unless I have misunderstood , she injected when she was in sole charge of her baby ?

[Dee Sa]

the minute I heard of her death I was sure drugs would come into the equasion, sad really.

But not intelligent enough to know that heroin can kill.

However I agree with your second point, except that I would have put "sadly missed by 'SOME' of those who knew her".

[naomi24]

Sad.

I think that because Peaches Geldof seemed to have got her life in order, I thought there might be some medical reason for her death (maybe something to do with her quite extreme weight loss). It doesn`t really matter who she is, I think it is sad that some people seem to have an inbuilt self-destruct button (possibly inherited) which they are fighting against for all of their life.
