Cinnamon Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I am so sad to hear of the death of this bright, fun & entertaining young woman, who had finally seemed to get her life back on track. He poor father & family must be devastated. If you have not seen it, Bob made the following statement, which I think is very beautiful, dignified & real: "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.'

bluekarin Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It is so very sad. She was so young, with her very young boys. I do wonder if it is PND related, in light of her final tweet the night before. That poor family have been through so much. I do not know how they bear it.

Groovychook Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It's incredibly sad. She seemed to have found her niche in life and looked so happy and fulfilled. He poor family and those two little ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I wonder about PND too. Two babies in quick succession. Feel for the little boys losing their mum so soon in life. Amazing how the elder girl keeps out of the spotlight as does the step sister but the middle 2 were always in the media. So sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I didn't know much about her tbh, but when I saw an archive clip of her giving the ghastly Katie Hopkins a truly impressive slapping, last night on the news, I was beyond impressed. We have lost someone with great potential. So sorry for her family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Well I have to agree - I thought Peaches held her ground for one so young. Very saddened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Leia Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 True, it's sad and I feel for her family - especially for Bob who has had more than his fair share of tragedy to deal with. But is it just me that thinks that the news coverage is totally OTT again? Over 10 minutes of last nights BBC 10 O'Clock news devoted to it (but no mention of Mickey Rooney's death the same day at all). Daily Fail has half a dozen separate articles on it, mostly speculating on possible causes, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcountrygirl Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It is very sad. Reading between the lines and seeing photos - I wonder if she has died of heart failure or organ failure due to something such as anorexia or bulimia. She looked painfully thin in the most recent pictures. Such a shame - a beautiful young lady with two gorgeous children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The police have reported that there were no obvious clues regarding her death, so no wounds, drugs etc to be seen. I guess the PM will throw up the cause. How very sad - 25 is no age at all, and two wee boys will grow up without their mummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I don't know an awful lot about her, but the death of anyone at such a young age is tragic, particularly with two young boys. So very very sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 I had really enjoyed her journey from wild child to a woman with real media clout, & thought the Katie Hopkins interview was brilliant. It is such a shame that she has gone & so young. She had such potential & was a very intelligent & interesting woman. I did wonder about depression, but it seems the meds were called out to a woman in distress & then found her dead at the scene. I am thinking heart attack,maybe?

Willow Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Very sad for her family, I had not been a fan until she took on Katie Hopkins so brilliantly and from a few other reports thought she was maturing into a lovely and talented lady.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Katie Holmes was just vile in that clip . Her facial expressions while Peaches was talking were enough to merit a slap in the face . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireabella Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 25 years of age is so very young. Very sad for the family and for her young sons Makes you think how precious every day is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Smedley Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hi , The PM has been inconclusive but toxicology results can take weeks. However there has been a lot of talk about her having bullimia- that causes a build up of potassium, which is not good for the heart.

soapdragon Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Latter photos of her showed that she had lost a lot of weight and looked very waif like.......how we torture ourselves Those two little boys are so beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Didn't know about the Katie Hopkins thing, I will seek it out, because I think she is a vile publicity seeker who should never be given air time. Glad to hear that she was given a verbal slapping. So sad to hear this news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I thought I'd check out the interview and I thought it was horrible. A boring spat between two minor celebrities. It struck me as being a set up of two flawed women for entertainment. Nasty. Now one of them has died and is being remembered for arguing. Bit sad really.

bluekarin Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I don't think she is being remembered for arguing, more for holding her own with a woman who is renowned for bulling people by talking loudly over the top of them, until they back down. But she didn't. I think she is more remembered for turning her life around, as she was a bit of a wild child, and devoting her life to her family and writing for Mother and Baby magazine.
