First of all, I have read about the untimely death of Peaches Geldof on Facebook.  I know who Bob Geldof is, I also have heard of her as she was a beautiful model and talented young writer.  However it seems many Americans are not familiar with who she was, or are just plain rude about her death.  This is tragic!  I don't know how much more tragedy Bob can take!  sad

Thank you Patrick!

It is very sad for all concerned, and even more so utterly tragic given what happened to her mother! I guess if you mentioned that her mother was once dating the INXS lead singer then maybe people in the US would prick up their ears!

Sad, sad, sad!

Michael hutchience of inxs was her sister tigerlily's father, bob geldof has no blood relation to tigerlily. He gained custody of her after her mothers death. There was a big uproar on Australia as Michael hutchience's family wanted custody and have always proclaimed bob isolated them from her and older sister peaches was already into drugs at a young age and was  was spoiling the children and allowing access to "unsavory influences" from a very young age. Peaches has always struggled with alcohol and drug abuse. Unfortunately i couldn't say i was surprised of the news. More sad for the two little boys she left behind.

Also wondering if the recent TV mini series about inxs and her biological parents aired on Australian TV, had affected her in any way.

Hmm, this is odd.  When that GWAR guy died I said he did meth and I got put on probation.

Mods....care to explain the double standard ?

Heartbreaking. Her mom dies young from an overdose. It must have been so hard for her and the family losing her. And now this beautiful child has passed away. I pray for Bob and the tons of family and friends who must be torn apart by this tragic news. May she rest in peace and be with her beloved mum again.

It saddens me that Bob Geldof has given so much of himself and career to help the needy and sadness seems to have latched on to him and his. So sad.

So sad, and she leaves behind two little boys sad
Not long ago she was involved in a debate with someone who was against attachment parenting. What she said was fantastic and ever since I have had a lot of respect for her. Those poor boys losing their Mum.

Probably because one is speculation and the other the verdict of a court - the inquest found that Peaches did die of a heroin overdose.
