Just been announced. No further details yet. R.I.P.

 

From BBC News:

 

TV presenter Peaches Geldof, second daughter of musician Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, has died aged 25, leaving a husband and two sons.

 

"We are beyond pain," said her father, confirming her death. "She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us."

 

"What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?"

 

Police say the death is "being treated as unexplained and sudden".

 

Born in 1989, Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof embarked on a media career at the age of 15, when she began writing a column for Elle magazine.

 

She left home at 16 and went on to contribute to the Telegraph and the Guardian, as well as TV shows including ITV2's OMG! with Peaches Geldof.

 

She also worked as a model and, just last week, attended a launch for Tesco's F&F clothing range in London.

 

The writer and presenter was married to musician Thomas Cohen, with whom she had two sons, Astala, one, and Phaedra, who will turn one on 24 April.

 

"My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons," said Cohen in a statement.

 

"I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts everyday. We shall love her forever."

Really very sad, especially as her children were so young. Can't say I was ever much of a fan of her public persona but she did seem like a great mother.

Tragic news

The funeral has taken place today in the same church where her mother's service took place. Well known mourners included Sarah Ferguson, Kate Moss and Bill Wyman.

 

Still awaiting toxicology tests to determine cause of death.

There's already a thread in The Lounge?

Thursday's Times reports that "toxicology tests indicate that she died of a heroin overdose"

There's also a thread here and the world hasn't ended with me posting in it. :rolleyes: Overreaction methinks.

It is news to be fair and does lend itself to this forum as well as the Celebrity R.I.P thread which is more hidden away from some members, so there's not really any harm having it here aswell.
