Heretic Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 RIP Peaches...way too young to go.... 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 16 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.

Dazzle Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Really don't mean to be insensitive, but who is this? I have honestly never heard of this person. She's some sort of a TV presenter. Checking the welfare of a person is very unusual for a normal person, especially when it comes through a 'report'. There was obviously a reason to go through with this, so I would guess (quite unprofessionally) that she might have been depressed and was threatening to engage in self-harm. Assuming that this was the situation, being pretty doesn't necessarily mean you won't be depressed. It's a cautionary tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 You have to think at 25 it is some form of overdose, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offensive Threat Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 You have to think at 25 it is some form of overdose, no? Usually. Especially in the model/entertainment industry. People dont die at 25 of natural causes very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 So Bob's ex wife Paula Yates leaves him and his daughters, to hook up with Micheal Hutchence of INXS. They have a daughter Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily. Hutchence hanged himself on 22 November 1997. Yates dies of an overdose in 2000. Leaving Geldof with custody of the three daughters and adopting Tiger in 2007. Now Peaches dies. Talk about messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
