This is going to be one of those youth drugs tragedies, or something.

Not that she is a major world figure but how sad for the family...

Now updated...

That is incredibly young to go, and with kids as well. This is going to be a rough time for the family.

Just saw this and was surprised by her age. I am not familiar with her work but it sounds like she had a lot of pain surrounding her mother's death. Drugs wouldn't surprise me as the cause of death.

Have we already hit the 3 celebrity deaths now?

This woman, Mickey Rooney and comedian John Pinette are all making the news today.

Yes, her mother Paula Yates had a troubled life and died on Peaches's 10th birthday.

Michael Hutchence's dubious early death was possibly a factor in Paula Yates's death.

Is there a legal limit of three celebrity deaths a day?

No, but I always grew up hearing celebrities died in 3's so perhaps that is a regional "truism" that doesn't translate outside of my small slice of the world.

Pinette died of heart disease, is anyone surprised?

Sadly, no. He was a large man and carried that weight for a long, long time.

I can't say I was surprised by the news of the death of Peaches Geldof - not given the carcrash that was the life Hutchence and Paula Yates lived.

Drugs fethed them all over in the end.

There was nothing dubious about Hutchences death aside from drugs being involved. The rumours of sexual asphyxiation were started, funnily enough, by Paula quite some time after his death. By that point of his life, he was basically a depressed guy trying to get custody of his daughter.

How ironic she died on a Monday.

It's sad for her kids and her family.

I think her troubled lifestyle is somewhat overstated in the media, but that's just like, my opinion, man.

This will mark the first day in my life where I am sorry for Bob Geldof.

I am horribly disappointed with the misleading title of this thread.

There I was expecting Peaches Geldof in some kind of necrophiliac thing with BBC.
