Peaches Geldof -- 'drugs overdose', more money than sense?
No wonder it's all gone quiet on the Peaches front...yet again she's linked to drugs....
Two weeks ago, Freddy (McConnell) was found dead of an overdose at his flat in London at the age of just 18
For his grieving parents, the diary entry made by their son Freddy just a few months before he died ... reads: ‘Peaches is coming over later and I am going to inject for the first time. Perhaps I will die. I hope I don’t.’
James (father) says: ‘Peaches sounded more interested in protecting herself when she phoned me this week than sorry for what had happened to my son. She confessed to giving Freddy money to buy drugs. She said she had done it only once, but who knows?’

if she has admitted funding this usage of drugs
specially as shes been named in his diary.
those pics of her with that older man fuct out of her box were horrible, junkie scum.
her mother was beautiful & very warm when I met her in a book shop in manchester years ago.
It's funny that they glossed over the fact they decided to divorce at exactly the same time that they noticed his change in his son from a nice kid to a depressed, problematic teen. It's interesting that they see absolutely no connection with that, but on the other hand are sure that listening Pete Doherty's music was a factor that contributed to his bad behaviour. And now it's Peaches evil influence. As a daughter of a couple that divorced at exactly the same time, i could have told them that no amount of music or rock stars bad example will have has much influence in your behaviour as the fact that the marriage of your parents is deteriorating in front of your eyes. And even then, they cannot be blamed for his choices.
I agree.
As Larkin said: They **** you up, your mum and dad.
These things happen and I'm sorry for their loss, but noone forced him into doing it.
The guy clearly had a long, long history of drug use (starting at 13) so it really was inevitable.
Inevitable? Because he had a history of drug use for 5 years his death was inevitable? :sleep:
No, inevitable that he would continue using drugs. I don't like Peaches Geldof at all but it's unfair to say to make a link between her and his drug use. His death could have been avoided, of course it could.
EDIT-
There is also a profound difference between drug use and drug addiction.
He was injecting for the first time - allegedly funded by her money (it is the Daily Heil). The story suggest the kid wouldn't have injected without the money, so if it's true then she should probably be questioned about it.
I've used coke weekly for best part of 15 years...there is no inevitability. It can happen and sometimes it does, but its not a foregone conclusion.
If you read the edit- I said that he was an addict, not just a casual user. He self identified as a drug addict.
And yet people blame Pete Doherty for everything bad that happens around him.
I don't think it's fair to blame Pete either.
His whole mythology comes from his drug use but he has never advocated his fans copy him.
Yes quite right....just read it.
Pete doesnt talk about his drug use...the media does. Its not his fault.
Which is the point I'm trying to make- Pete doesn't mention his drug use but the media have made it his main selling point, negating his music etc.
^^ This.
...were in agreement then:D
Injecting heroin is a million miles away from cannabis adiction though. The guy used coke sometimes and smoked alot of weed.
True, but on the other hand what on earth was Peaches Geldof doing giving a teenage boy money to buy drugs?
Peaches probably thinks she's some really important, cool person, someone that would give money to kids to buy drugs.
Cool, like. :cool:
:rolleyes:
So you have used coke weekly for 15 years, but your not addicted.
Slight contradiction there I think.
It's kind of like people I know that say weed is not addictive but smoke it every single day and are like a bear with a soar arse if they can't score any.
