its terrible, some girl I never knew has died. I wonder would she mourn me if I died?

Ah come on now. Her family is well known and it's a tragedy nonetheless

Always sad to hear of the death of someone so young.

I cant say I know much about her but sad nonetheless.

I heard it was an aneurysm. No one knows and all the rumours or assumptions of drugs or suicide don't help really.

Drugs rumours seem to be the first thought by many in young tragic sudden deaths these days. Especially in that london socialite scene. How do we know she wasn't suffering postnatal depression of some sort.. Maybe just natural death. It happened to Stephen gately after all. Your absolutely right though..no one knows.

Posted your "joke".

Giggled to yourself as you thought about how witty you had been and how everyone will think you are a gas fecker for posting that.


How does it feel now that you know it is idiotic post #4 saying the EXACT same thing?

Shockin tbh, poor family a lot of people didn't like her but I didn't mind her at all, poor babies growing up without their mam just like her

Her aunt and her grannie died of an aneurysm as far as I can recall. Her gran was very young when she died.

I saw her being interviewed on TV lately. Well able to laugh at herself and at Bob. Terrible tragedy again for the family

Sky News doing their civic duty by bringing "Live Reaction To The Death Of Peaches Geldof".. Always classy.. What a bunch of leeches they are..

Have their colleagues at the Sun hacked into her voicemail yet.

He checked before he posted that joke. That's the pro-differnce.

Sky news are pure filth..within 15 mins of the news breaking they had some lowlife sun " journo" who only " knew her through work" saying how troubled she was and how she loved to party...complete sensationalism and only interested in pedling their agenda instead of the truth

Filth is being nice to Sky News ... I wonder will Kay Miss Sensitive Burley be on the case ? oh wait ... maybe not , isn't she busy in Malaysia chasing relatives of passengers of MH370 ... ??


RIP. Tragic.

I hate those awful jokes I'm sure some of us will hear in the coming days/weeks after a celebrity dies that often circulate. Even when it's something coming from a comedian it's never called for in my opinion.

Couldn't agree more. As someone who seems to be followed by the spectre of death - pretty much every close member of my family was dead before I was ten - I can say that humour is the one thing that keeps you going. The fake outrage brigade on here though might have something different to say. Death happens all the time and unfortunately when people in the public eye die, jokes will be made about it. Especially low hangers like the ''I don't like Mondays'' ones.

Its one of the many facets of Boards I can't ****ing stand, this fake outrage crowd. Let me tell you something, you are not morally superior because you are offended by a joke. Even one in poor taste. You know its a joke. You know its not meant with any malice. Yet you still persist in being ''offended''. Get over yourself.

I am very surprised at this ladies death and knowing what it is like to lose a parent at a very young age, its her poor children that get me the most. Her problems are over. Their's have just begun.

What a beautiful woman, such a shame. RIP.

Yeah I think many people in our society have become ghouls and get a little turned on by tragedy/misery. The MH370 story was a prime example.

Fake outrage?

I'd say more like dismissive distain. Certainly don't find it offensive, I am certainly not outraged but it is a depressingly repetitive online trait which I'd be glad to see that back of. Celebrity death? - Get in there with the edgy comments.

That an strawman building, wouldn't mind seeing the back of that one..oh, oh, and the "needless" "use" of "quotation" marks.

It's the combination of "in bad taste" and "stiflingly unfunny", to be honest.

I dont know. But anytime someone famous dies there is a scramble on boards to break the news, then comes a flood of RIPs, and then all these birds on a wire judge the fabric of every comment. In a way its just as disgusting as what Sky/Fox News do. Its morbid, insidious and sometimes malicious (after Mandela died for example)

Really? You think people get turned on but tragedy/ misery. Thats strange.

I think this whole thing of people make **** of other peoples sorrow for a celebrity death is massively annoying.
If I read this story about a local girl who I knew to see only, in the exact same circumstances (age, young babies, already tragic circumstances) I would feel the exact same. I am a major sap though. Obviously there is more talk on a celebrity death because they are famous. I really don't get why some people get so jumped up!!

What a useful input. Didn't realise my posts were being marked by an english teacher.

How desperately sad that two little children are now without the most important person in their lives.

Cannot stop thinking about them.

R.I.P.

dark crystal

Why do these threads always turn into pointless arguments about people expressing sympathy towards a dead person?

If you don't feel any sympathy or don't care about the issue, why post at all in such a thread. Why not just sit back and bask in your own smug superiority?

Fake outrage indeed.

whupdedo

Terrible thing at such a young age, may she rest in peace, any idea on how she died yet, I'm only after hearing it now

thrashmetalfan

have not felt this sad since that other young pretty blonde girl died, Katie French. I wonder will it put the kaibosh on the boomtown rats reunion?? they could rerelease " I don't like Mondays" and the money raised it could be donated to a charity that looks after other young pretty blonde women with jobs in the media who might be at risk of kicking the bucket before reaching 30.

Hitchens

Today, around 21,000 children died around the world.............................just sayin' like

Lou.m

Most negative posts are not about the subject but attacks on other posters for reacting with polite compassion. Polite compassion is perfectly normal and I wish the media would do the same. The I don't care attitude is puzzling if you do not care why post?

endacl

Indeed. 25 year old women die every day. Why does this one have a thread?

I don't think it, I know it. Try watching Sky News for 1 hour and you will see it.

It can be disguised as false empathy/sadness i.e. the "Isn't it awful...but tell me more" brigade.
