Not necessarily. The police may want to have an initial post mortem before giving a cause of death.

Death is a terrible thing, respect for anyone who dies and empathy for the people who mourn them is like an unwritten rule, part of being human. It's only the most insignificant proportion of people that die who it can be said attract negativity because of bad things they did in life. It is human nature that some peoples deaths attract celebration due to their infamy.
Yes there should be respect for everyone and anyone who dies but we cannot mourn for or pay respects to everyone even though it is sad good people die every day. People mourn the famous because they are recognisable to them, they know facts about their lives, admire what they did that kind of thing. Even though there is the detachment of not actually having them as a friend they still feel they lost a little something or just feel sad that it happened.
When I see a publicly known figure has died and there is a thread about them I either post my respects or if I had no affinity for them just pass by. Leave the people to pay a little tribute to someone who has died and done no harm to others.
Peaches Geldoff, it's sad she died, terrible for her family, I had no affinity for her only knew who she was because of her famous parents, she was a young mum who had a lot of sadness in her life.

Aneurysm, heart attack, auto erotic asphyxiation. We just don't know.
Sums it up for me really.

Highly doubt it is this... Whilst it fits the "sudden" description given by the police, it would be obvious (which they say it was not)... Most likely the lack of information is due waiting on a proper postmortem.

I don't think the majority of us are upset or care, I'm certainly not upset about it or really care however I can show empathy. I can put myself in the shoes of an RIPs family member and hope it doesn't happen to me.
There's a difference between 'claiming to be upset' and having a little decorum. Typical flipping daft strawman argument.
Nobody is claiming to be heartbroken, devastated or similar. But there's a difference between showing a little respect and empathy and posting off-colour jokes within ten minutes of the news breaking. If you can't understand that, then I weep for whatever form of social disorder you suffer from.
e: ffs, when did I become the arbiter of logic and commonsense in this place??
Yeh I would think so, however, I would imagine with the media attention, no one is saying anything until it's conclusive.
The only real hint from the articles I can see is 'concern for welfare' by whoever reported the incident, which points to something amiss, she could have been beaten to death by her husband for all we know, it's all pure conjecture.
I would expect there will be no explanation until some kind of formal medical/police investigation has narrowed things down somewhat, and I doubt there will be any statement until said people are pretty sure of the circumstances.
tis pretty sad especially as she's got young kids.
I don't think speculation of a drugs overdose is warranted at this stage, its pretty unknown - I'm not sure she was necessarily a big drug user - obviously her mother died that way but IIRC she's been quoted as saying she's not really like that.

yes but without evidence to suggest that she was a massive drug abuser the overdose speculation is a bit unwarranted....
Lots of people are caricatured and made to look like they are not, also, main steam media wants to sell 'news', celeb/tabloid news is probably the worst form, it's about selling sensational stories, not about fact, they push it as far as they can without being sued, but if the legal ramifications are deemed to be less than potential profit, then why not run with it?
That's both the blessing and the curse of a free media, I guess.

Just as speculative as a heart attack... However, young people in the media are more likely to die from an overdose than a heart attack
