This is such sad news .
However she died it is heartbreaking for her family .
Brings on intense personal sadness for me re a past event .
Rest in peace Peaches .
Paula was around the same age as me, I kind of grew up with her as a figure I read about in the media, I kinda dressed the same so I related to her. I rarely agreed with her opinions, even vehemently disagreed, sometimes the same with Peaches, but I always admired their vivacity and ability to grasp life with both hands. It's one of the reasons this is so sad because both women were so passionate about everything in their lives.
I feel the same. I also seem to remember that back in the day Paula was tee total and in fact was featured in an advert for alcohol free lager. She loved being a mum and wrote books about her idyllic life with her kids. All so horribly sad how things ended up.
A lot of awful horrible coincidences within this family
Paula died on Pixie's birthday, Peaches second son was born on Paula's birthday.
Bob lost his mother young, as did all his daughters and now his grandsons

Then there is her Dads most famous song. I know it has nothing to do with her death. However I will hear it in a different light when I hear him singing those words now,
Peaches seemed fascinated by religion. She switched her faith several
times, she was a Scientologist at one point,
then she dabbled in the equal controversial Thelema / Ordo Templi Orientis :

That sprung to my mind too. One of my favourite songs...
Am I wrong for thinking that it's a bit OTT of the news broadcasters to be doing "looking back at her life" tribute pieces? I know there'll be public interest, but It's not as if she was a major star. Or was she? Maybe I'm out of the loop on these things.

She was also reported to have converted to Judaism as well. Maybe she was trying
to find happiness through different belief systems?
Is her husband not Jewish? I'm purely surmising based on his surname (Cohen) but she might have converted to ensure their songs could also be classed as Jewish by birth (as it's inherited via the maternal line.)
She did seem very fascinated by religion. She made a great documentary a few years back whereupon she looked at what life was like as an Islamic teenager.

"I don't like Mondays" is about sudden death, so it is sort of appropriate, alas...

She was a Scientologist for at least two years and never said she'd left. Scientologists don't believe in proper treatment for depression and forbid followers to seek any help from the psychiatric profession.
25 is far too young but critics of the cult are sadly used to hearing about tragic and unexplained deaths.
Yes, we know that but it is sad when someone who is this young and who we know of through the media dies. It does have an impact especially as the family have suffered a lot already. I do feel sorry for them. I think a lot of people are shocked

Bob is an atheist, ( I don't know what Paula's religious beliefs were) so Peaches would
have encountered lotsa of belief systems through her life.
She did write a lot as well-mainly journalism. Perhaps she might have written
a full book if she hadn't died.
I'm really, really shocked by this. Couldn't believe it when I saw it pop up. I could not have predicted this at all.
Her kids are so young as well
Her last tweet is eerie. I'm sure there's already speculation in this thread and elsewhere about how she died, but I myself can imagine realistically it is one of only three things... and all three are really depressing. I hope it was some strange, unexpected, but natural cause instead for the benefit of the people left behind.

Didn't her youngest (due to be one this month) share his birthday with Paula? Anyway terrible news, Poor family.
It is a 'sad' fact that Peaches passing has been sunk from discussion to 'showbiz' , sad, sad, sad, for a young girl/mother to be dismissed as not worthy of discussion.

Exactly what I thought, Bob has been through alot; also so very sad for her gorgeous little boys. RIP Peaches.
I was thinking the same thing

That apathy is the way forward.

Yes he does...the 24th I believe. Both her babies birthdays are this month.
Whatever the rights and wrongs, this has left me a heavy heart tonight.
So sad for her family and friends
Yes she was, she was the most let's say vibrant of the sisters
In 2009 she adniited being hooked on heroin for a short while
She had a very dysfunctional childhood but appeared to have settled
