I'd like to say I feel for her children but I think she saved them from an entirely worse kind of life. Having a mentally unstable, drug addict, loon of a mother is a recipe for disaster. At least her children have a chance and they are young enough that they won't remember what it was like to have a mother like that.

Peaches was a mess.

She took a lot of heat a couple years ago when her baby's buggy toppled over and her child fell out. She didn't bother putting down her cell phone to attend to her baby. Piece of work, that one.

hellomagazine.com reports no suicide note, no sign of trauma and no drugs found. They don't have autopsy results yet--but so far it is being called 'unexplained natural death'. There are several nice articles there with quotes from her and how much her life changed since getting married and having babies and how committed she was to both.

Given her family history/history my mind immediately went to drugs--but maybe it wasn't.

I, unfortunately, had a friend across the hall die unexpectedely/suddenly from a brain aneurysm in college and a my husband's healthy cousin died of a heart anuerysm at 29--fell over at work--no prior heart issues. There was a boy from my HS that also past away at 16 from a brain aneurysm. Luckily, these things aren't common but they can happen.

Her boys were adorable.

well, that's one way to look at it. I'm the ACOA (father). It's a hard-earned, brutal way to grow up and yes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but I'd much rather not be plagued with the subsequent anxiety/depression and panic attacks. Thanks, Dad.

Sad to say, but because her children are so young, they may be fortunate to have escaped the toxicity of being raised by an addict. My wish is that they will be raised in a sober environment and will themselves choose to abstain from drugs and alcohol. Those poor children are genetic time bombs, as am I. The mental issues can be inherited, but you can choose sobriety.

You are a jerk

She is overweight, but if that's the worst of her coping strategies given the misery she has endured, good for her. I think this is a better choice than her sister went for: defacing her body with tattoos and doing heroin, having kids with another unstable person, perhaps using while pregnant. Better to be fat and alive than dead and glamourous.

+1 - an unexpected lot of heart conditions plague young people. I knew a girl in high school who went into fibrillation and died. She was just a sweet farm kid.

Sounds like it wasn't an overdose.
Could have been a heart condition or aneurysm.

I couldn't disagree more, if it was in fact suicide. Suicide is contagious and inherited. These two babies now grow up with the specter of a mother who took her own life. Much better to have a live mother, illness or addiction and all; at least a living mother has the chance to love them and the chance to get better.

Either way the kids are fucked and it's a matter of what's going to fuck them up more. Drug and alcohol problems are inherited as well as suicide because mental illness is genetic.

Its not this simple. You need to educate yourself. One family member may have an entirely different life, than another family member. Apples and oranges.

Not all people handle depression, mental issues, and/or alcoholism (for example) the same. You know this, right?

Maybe even organ failure from her past drug use

According to Daily Mail, no note or drugs were found : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2599052/Bob-Geldof-tribute-daughter-Peaches-dead.html

If true, I am thinking possibly diabetes or heart or other organ giving out from an eating disorder.

Peaches? Really? Another suicide by the rich.
