Peaches Geldof has died

[Marc]

TV presenter Peaches Geldof, second daughter of musician Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, has died aged 25.

Police say they were called to an address near Wrotham, Kent following a report of concern for the welfare of a woman on Monday afternoon.

The woman, aged 25, was later pronounced dead by South East Coast Ambulance Service.

"At this stage, the death is being treated as unexplained and sudden," said a statement from Kent Police.

Born in 1989, Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof embarked on a media career at the age of 15, when she began writing a column for Elle magazine.

She left home at sixteen and went on to contribute to the Telegraph and the Guardian, and presented TV shows including ITV2's OMG! with Peaches Geldof.

She also worked as a model and, just last week, attended a launch for Tesco's F&F clothing range in London.

She was married to musician Thomas Cohen, with whom she had two sons, Astala, one, and Phaedra, who will turn one on 24 April.

'Numb'

Geldof lost her own mother when she was just 11 years old. Paula Yates died of a drug overdose in September 2000.

Speaking to Elle Magazine in 2012, Peaches said she had not come to terms with Yates's death for several years.

"I remember the day my mother died, and it's still hard to talk about it. I just blocked it out. I went to school the next day because my father's mentality was 'keep calm and carry on'," she said.

"So we all went to school and tried to act as if nothing had happened. But it had happened. I didn't grieve. I didn't cry at her funeral. I couldn't express anything because I was just numb to it all. I didn't start grieving for my mother properly until I was maybe 16."

Geldof said she had experimented with drugs as a teenager, but was "never that wild".

She was previously married to rock musician Max Drummey but the pair separated in 2009 after a six-month marriage.

Her last tweet (http://instagram.com/p/mdNpzsyTHd/), posted on Sunday was a picture of her as a baby in her mother's arms.

She leaves her husband and sons; father Bob Geldof; sisters Fifi Trixibelle and Pixie; and younger half-sister, Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof.

Yes I wonder if she was advised to take pills
by someone who advised her Diet

[erinp5]

Bob's statement is so touching

Her father said: "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."

Yeah of course, I was just a bit surprised at how strong the reaction was, it's been a while since a famous British person died that young, think Amy Winehouse was the last one I can remember off the top of my head and that was coming up for 3 years ago and everybody could see that coming a mile off so it's probably been even longer since there was such a shocking death... it's so sad, her poor little kids and husband, and of course her dad and sisters must be devastated, the second time they've lost someone in the family at a young age :(

[Livia]

I've never had much time for Peaches Geldoff... over-privileged and qualified for nothing, and yet sought after to give opinions. I do hope that she's not now going to be turned into some kind of Queen of Hearts.

That said, it's very sad that such a young woman with a young family has died. May she rest in peace and her family find solace.

[Marsh.]

It could have been a combination of things.

Yeah, definitely.

I mean my cousin was taking diet pills a couple of years back and she started blacking out and everything. Things like this can be really dangerous.

I've got to agree. All this "she loved her kids too much to commit suicide" is nonsense. Many people who commit suicide leave their families devestated and astonished. Also, she hasn't ever been the most balanced of girls, so nothing would really surprise me.

I do feel for her family, especially her two little boys. But I hardly recognise this woman that's being portrayed in the press and on here as the same Peaches Geldoff I knew before she died and became a combination of saint and Mother Earth.

I've got to agree. All this "she loved her kids too much to commit suicide" is nonsense. Many people who commit suicide leave their families devestated and astonished. Also, she hasn't ever been the most balanced of girls, so nothing would really surprise me.

I do feel for her family, especially her two little boys. But I hardly recognise this woman that's being portrayed in the press and on here as the same Peaches Geldoff I knew before she died and became a combination of saint and Mother Earth.

:conf: People are simply discussing how tragic it is for a young mother to die suddenly. Who's making her out to be a saint?

I saw some TV this morning, oh God you'd think they'd lost a close relative... and there are some very dramatic posts on here. It is tragic that she was so young and her death so sudden, but young people die. It's horrible... but it happens. Anyway, once again... my opinion, it's not compulsory to agree.

Closed for Cleaning, I would appreciate it if people would take their petty squabbles to PM instead of ruining the thread.

I haven't seen any dramatic posts in this thread, I just assumed posts like the one from Boat were being deliberately OTT. :shrug:

I think her death was the result of her extreme dieting. She looked so skinny lately.

I find that nothing ever comes of discussion of famous deaths other than hysteria, snap judgments and ill-informed opinion.

Don't you worry your head about it niamh :pat:


I won't Kizzy, I don't have the energy today

[the truth]

I don't understand why unqualified people like Hopkins or peaches are invited on tv to act as professionals in this complex field. I think its dangerous nonsense. to see these semi celebrities then paid a whole load of money for this devalues society and devalues the qualifications of the experienced experts in their particular fields

I also think society and women in particular need to practice what they preach and spend less time obsessing on appearance and even less time pressurising other women how to look and dress and eat etc

putting peaches on tv as thin as she was with her health problems as a role model to all other women was surely dangerous. they see a very thin beautiful young woman and they seem to follow her every word like Gospel. when in reality she seems to have had an eating disorder and other issues

the press reports are harrowing I also find to hard to believe but it says she was tweeting online and taking posting photos of her beloved 19 minutes before she passed away. tragically not knowing she was dying imminently. again we as a society spend more time on image and ego that's doing whats healthy and right

[Kizzy]

Peaches was only on this morning to discuss attachment parenting, as that was part of the discussion that day, as a parent who used the technique herself....

It depends how long she's been on the diet. Maybe there were other factors as well.

She was only 25 I cant see a juice diet being cause of death. Something like that leads to health problems but would usually take a very long time to become life threatening.

Look at Nikki Grahame she was extremely anorexic and close to death and had a poor diet for over 20 years yet is still alive and well and was far beyond a simple juice diet.

Its very sad news about Peaches, I remember watching her on This Morning and how many people were tweeting about how someone had finally told Katie Hopkins what they really thought of her.

Sorry but should have been Katie who went.

25 ffs!

Obviously we don't know anything at this stage so the papers are going to wildly speculate but I think it's a bit disgraceful to even imply that it's drugs or suicide just because she's young... that's how it comes across - died young, must have been living recklessly. She has two babies, she seemed quite together, I reckon an underlying health issue that had never been detected is to blame, possibly triggered by her extreme dieting but I don't know any more than the next person.

[MTVN]

Well it's stupid journalism really because they're implying a positive on the basis of a negative, just because they can't definitively rule something out doesn't mean that it's what happened. At the moment it seems they just literally have no clue what caused it and they probably won't until they do the post mortem, at this stage they probably can't rule out any number of different possibilities

..yeah, you do and people around her probably had but she probably thought she would be ok with this 'extreme diet' because she had known other people that did it but as others have said, other health factors also come into it/no two people are the same and 'extremes' of anything are never a good thing...it's just so sad that people can't see their own beauty and strive to achieve something like 'thinness' ...and I've been slim all of my life, trust me it's not that great, curves are gorgeous...

I don't think what I've said disagrees with anything you've said there. I was never a fan, and her dying doesn't change that. But similarly it doesn't alter the fact that I acknowledge it's a tragic waste of a young life and it's just awful for her family.
