Peaches Geldof is dead, age 25

In retrospect, I'm now thinking her glazed and vacant appearance when I saw her may have been why she wasn't holding her baby.
 
Several years ago, on these boards, I started a thread entitled "Is Peaches Geldof A Junkie?"

I suspected the truth even then. So now I wonder why others did not. In any case it is very sad.
 
Curiously, reports that the drugs equipment was not found and may have been removed. I wonder if they are going to look into it again?
 
Why not wait for the inquest report before sticking in the boot.

Whatever way we judge it, it's profoundly sad. :(
 
Very upsetting to think she was doing that while alone with her baby too. While it's not surprising she used drugs, I find the circumstances she died in quite surprising.

People repeat the mistakes of their parents so often, and so precisely, that it frequently seems inevitable. And this is doubly true with regard to substance abuse. One compulsion heaped upon another.
 
I take no satisfaction in being proved right, and I wish I'd been wrong. But next time I say something I hope people will listen. FFS.

Christ do you not see how unbelievably arrogant you are? Ya know I've been coming here over ten years and often thought you get far too much shit off people on here, borderline bullied in fact. Then other times I think the shit you get from people here is richly deserved and this is one of those times.

'Oh look at me I was right I was right....err....I take no satisfaction in being right but hur hur look at me I was right' what a dick.

Well you do have a point tbh. But then again is the hypocritical pretence of personal sympathy for the tribulations of celebrities really all that better, morally speaking? I'm not so sure that it is.

Problem is, you know fuck all about what your talking about.

There's recreational drug use that turns into irresponsible abuse. Then there's self medicating to mask issues such as depression or anxiety or about 100 other things. Peaches Geldof was the latter.

Throwing the word "junkie" about confirms noting.

What?

You were idly speculating four years ago and by a sheer stroke of luck it coincides with the truth as mrsfran pointed out. People having sympathy with someone who's actually died of a heroin overdose (apparently, it is afterall not 100% certain) is not hypocritical and doesn't compare in anyway to your idle speculating. I don't even know why hypocrisy needs bringing in here. You weren't being a hypocrite four years ago you were idly speculating and now you're gloating. None of that coincides with being a hypocrite it coincides with something else that you've had spelt out to you far too many times on here.

How do you know? To me the evidence suggests the contrary.
