Found dead today at age 25 of unknown causes. That's really quite a shock .

I don't suppose she is widely known in other countries but she is fairly famous here and is written about rather a lot. She is, as Col says, the daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, the latter being a British TV personality who died of an accidental overdose when I was living in Maidenbower, so nearly fifteen years ago now I guess. The media loved to speculate that Peaches would go the same way as he mum and for a while it seemed that she would, as she was a known drug user. Then she cleaned it all up, got married and had two little boys. The cause of her death has not been released but I hope that it was not drugs or, worse, suicide. That is not a good thing for children to grow up with.

So there was someone named Peaches that wasn't a drag queen? How does that happen?

Jesus. Great to see that Wiki is so on the ball *rolls eyes* Someone, somewhere, seems to get to Wikipedia within minutes of anyone's death being reported. I do not know what motivates people to be so quick off the mark. I have noticed, however, that they now put an automatic banner along the top making the point that the information on there may be complete crap so soon after the event.

I had never heard of her before hearing that she died, and I only had a very vague knowledge of her father. Poor woman, and her poor husband and kids.

She was very well known here. Her mother was famous too and died of a heroin overdose about fifteen years ago. It was long speculated that Peaches would go the same way as she went through a period of heavy drug use but then she cleaned up, got married and had two small children and seemed perfectly happy. And then died anyway
