Just been rolling through the DM articles, such beautiful photos of her with her sons, so much love in her eyes :(

I really don't believe she'd do anything to take herself away from them.

Feel for her husband too, just a boy who now has so much more responsibility.

ExitPursuedByABear · 07/04/2014 22:36

Such sad news.

Really sorry to have got that wrong about PY & MH - and posted too soon - had not meant to speculate about Peaches....was thinking aloud. How hideous for all of her loved ones.

EverythingCounts · 07/04/2014 22:41

Yes, there are some lovely pictures of her on Twitter, in which she looks a lot like both her mum and her dad. Terribly sad for her family and the boys in particular.

Hopefully something positive can be done with the stuff she shared on social media so that the boys can see it when they grow up and have a record of what she did with them and how she wrote about it.

So sad.

I couldn't believe it when DH said he'd seen it on computer.

In the past I'd had mixed views on her but always felt for everything she had been through. More recently I've been amazed by how much I now respect her. She'd come out the other side of sadness and seemed to be totally in love with her children and her role as their mother. It was like she'd found her calling. It also made her extremely relatable.

I can't believe it and got all teary when I heard which I wouldn't have expected.

Poor girl, poor boys, poor family. Just awful.

So so sad

Feenie · 07/04/2014 22:53

Go with? Go with? How about you wait and stop speculating, ffs?

And 'lol'? Give me strength. Hmm

stonehairbrush · 07/04/2014 22:56

I thought Michael hutchence hanged himself?

All very very sad

The police said they had received a call about 'a woman in distress'. No idea what that means

caruthers · 07/04/2014 22:56

Nobody really knows why Michael Hutchence died, it's impossible to tell

He hung himself.

I think that's pretty much suicide.

SqutterNutBaush · 07/04/2014 22:57

Broody I don't think you win any prizes for "going with" the right answer FFS.

I don't think even KH would be insensitive stupid enough to start bitching Peaches publicly and yes if she did I imagine there would be quite a backlash but this.

Joules68 · 07/04/2014 22:58

Why give you strength feenie ? This isn't your bereavement.

Some posters express themselves differently to how you might. A 'lol' thrown in isn't a slur on peaches memory

allhailqueenmab · 07/04/2014 22:58

Bless you, Peaches, you poor lamb. you never had a chance.

Forgettable · 07/04/2014 22:59

Not the time for speculating, folks, it really isn't.

Erm... Posted half a sentence.

but this is neither the time nor place to be crucifying a woman who had a simple debate on TV, it doesn't make her evil and heartless I'm sure.

Feenie · 07/04/2014 23:00

In the same tasteless post as 'i'm going with' - like it's something to lay bets on - it's not appropriate or necessary.

SqutterNutBaush · 07/04/2014 23:02

^What Feenie said.

bumbleymummy · 07/04/2014 23:06

So sad to read this :( I thought she was lovely. Her poor babies. :(

EverythingCounts · 07/04/2014 23:06

caruthers stonehairbrush Michael Hutchence died from hanging, yes, but there was some doubt about whether that had been intended or whether it was auto-erotic asphyxiation gone wrong. So maybe not suicide in terms of intending to take his own life.

IAmDoneNow · 07/04/2014 23:07

I thought MH's death was accidental. That it was something he did that went wrong.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 07/04/2014 23:08

I'm a bit bemused by the number of posts saying how sad for her sons... like this woman was only defined by being a mother. She was a young woman, with her life ahead of her, and that's what's sad as far as I'm concerned.

I didn't know her though so I'm not grieving, inconsolable or heartbroken unlike some people who really seem obsessed with owning this woman's family's bereavement.

The speculators are just mindless ghouls... everybody knows that.

Broodyhen, your explanation of why you aren't is pretty much a textbook explanation of speculation - just stop please.
