UPDATE Post #15
TV presenter Peaches Geldof, second daughter of musician Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, has died aged 25, leaving a husband and two sons.
"We are beyond pain," said her father, confirming her death. "She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us."
"What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?"
Police say the death is currently being treated as "unexplained and sudden".

Born in 1989, Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof embarked on a media career at the age of 15, when she began writing a column for Elle magazine.
She left home at 16 and went on to contribute to the Telegraph and the Guardian, as well as TV shows including ITV2's OMG! with Peaches Geldof.
She also worked as a model and, just last week, attended a launch for Tesco's F&F clothing range in London.
The writer and presenter was married to musician Thomas Cohen, with whom she had two sons, Astala, one, and Phaedra, who will turn one on 24 April.

One's mind of course runs to drugs when it's someone this young and out in the public eye, but she doesn't exactly fit the "profile" for that: married (apparently happily), mother of two young children, no apparent history of drug use or generally going wild, none of that stuff. No apparent history of any depression or other such emotional issues, either. Makes one wonder what caused her obviously very premature death.
Definitely sad, no matter what.
