TV presenter Peaches Geldof, second daughter of musician Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, has died aged 25.

Police say they were called to an address near Wrotham, Kent following a report of concern for the welfare of a woman on Monday afternoon.

The woman, aged 25, was later pronounced dead by South East Coast Ambulance Service.

"At this stage, the death is being treated as an unexplained and sudden," said a statement from Kent Police.

...

She leaves her husband and sons; father Bob Geldof; sisters Fifi Trixibelle and Pixie; and younger half-sister, Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof.

Man, if he didn't like Mondays before, huh?

Her own sons are called Astala Dylan Willow and Phaedra Bloom Forever (never mind that mythological Phaedra is female).

I liked their answer for why they didnt give up when she remained unresponsive "We just kept telling eachother that she was too young to die."

They probably wouldn't have even tried with grumbler. If he started getting up, they might have hit him over the head with a hammer. "We just kept telling eachother that he was too old to live."

Having read that article and similar ones about London and LA it seems that VICE's writers specialize in whiny moany journalism, or at least the ones that write that section.

No offense intended but what your friend is doing sounds moronic.

Yep.
She has some crazy dual-legged trip of driving and then taking a bus. It doesn't sound like life to me. But I guess beggars can't be chosers, she's 30 and its her first decent job, at a great company even.
