Sherbet... Why anger? We don't know how she died. Wish everyone would stop speculating so publicly

Forgettable · 07/04/2014 19:50

Sherbertpips for goodness sake! Please don't speculate, it is not on.

Dreadful news, her poor family.

Sparklingbrook · 07/04/2014 19:51

I am angry. With this thread.

tobybox · 07/04/2014 19:52

Why do some people on MN try to control the feelings of others, especially around emotive subjects such as death Confused

Surely a forum is a place to express our feelings, no matter how straightforward or complex.

RIP Peaches.

mykidsarebonkers · 07/04/2014 19:52

sent a chill down my spine and got goosepimples. Such a shame to her and her lovely children, who she will never see grow up
RIP Peaches

BeyondTheSea · 07/04/2014 19:52

Her poor boys - just awful for everyone. I can't imagine she would want to leave her 2 boys either. Just tragic.

Sparklingbrook · 07/04/2014 19:53

There's a time and place toby. Today is not that.

Forgettable · 07/04/2014 19:53

No one is controlling

Some of us, incl mnhq are saying please, no speculation, quite right too

Itsfab · 07/04/2014 19:53

Sherbetpips - if it is found she did of natural causes will you still be angry?

This is all such bollocks. A young woman has died and some of you are assuming it was by her own hand, by her own choice. You don't know that at all. And if it was due to some MH issues you have no clue how someone feels when they are depressed and what they are driven to do if you haven't lived the same life as someone else. Everyone has different experiences of depression, etc.

Just disgusting posts.

Oh for goodness sakes - there's nothing wrong with anger. It's as viable as as sadness. Let people express themselves.

I also feel some anger.. towards Michael Hutchence. He seemed to mess with Paula's mind - I hoped her kids would be alright.

NotQuiteWithItAtAll · 07/04/2014 19:55

So so sad. The poor babies Sad

Oh and why I said what I did is a close friend of mine CS, a girlfriend of my bother's died of a heroin OD or suicide, no one knew why.

IAmDoneNow · 07/04/2014 19:56

I saw Paula in the big breakfast Bed interview with MH back in the day, she was very into him.

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 07/04/2014 19:56

Hello all (again). We really do think it's for the best that we all refrain from speculating about what has happened to Peaches Geldof, thanks.

TheBabyFacedAssassin · 07/04/2014 19:57

I am so shocked by this. I found her to be very relatable. I follow her on Instagram and have commented on a few of her posts and she has replied on a few occasions. I am heartbroken for her poor family.

Another reminder of how precious, and fragile, life is.

Speculation is not helpful either. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding her death there is a family grieving a daughter, sister, wife and mother.

HelloBoys · 07/04/2014 19:57

Brother not brother!

Cocolepew · 07/04/2014 19:57

What terrible, tragic news, so sad.

HelloBoys · 07/04/2014 19:57

Damn bloody iPhone! Brother not bother!

TheZeeTeam · 07/04/2014 19:58

I am genuinely saddened about this, and I don't normally "do" sad about dead celebrities. The Geldof family's statement was just so heartbreaking and those poor little boys! Sad

BeverlyMoss · 07/04/2014 19:59

That poor woman and her family.

Very sad, absolutely tragic.

Joules68 · 07/04/2014 20:00

was the house in Kent home for Bob and her sisters too? or did Peaches live there with no family nearby?

MarchOnToApril · 07/04/2014 20:01

"I am genuinely saddened about this, and I don't normally "do" sad about dead celebrities. The Geldof family's statement was just so heartbreaking and those poor little boys"

^ This. I don't normally care about celebrities in the slightest but her boys are just so young that it is just awful for them.

PotsofGold · 07/04/2014 20:03

Why are people saying that Peaches died as a result of her own/her mother's actions?

Her death is unexplained. Sometimes young people do just die suddenly. It doesn't mean that they took their own lives, or overdosed, or similar. I girl I knew died suddenly at the age of 19. It turned out she had a brain haemorrhage.

Lets just remember a lovely young woman, who overcame a troubled youth to become an adoring mother, who glowed with happiness. She was smart and witty - remember those threads where we all whooped as she trounced Katie Hopkins on This Morning? She was really at her best that day and showed everyone how far she had come.

I feel so sad for her wee boys, her husband, her dad and her sisters. No parent should outlive their child. Poor Tiger Lily has now lost both of her parents and a sister too. Her boys won't even be able to remember her, although I am sure that their family will keep Peaches in their lives as best they can.

Vickiyumyum · 07/04/2014 20:04

I believe it was just her tom and the boys living there. Maybe staff too but not bob etc.
