[30] She coincidentally "died" from a heroine overdose similarly to her mother. [32] he involved herself in assisting the disadvantaged. [33] She supposedly assisted a youth in killing himself with an overdose. Was it due to him being molested by his father? [34] She was a great mother. [35] She was a great wife. [36] he was supposedly involved in a sexual cultism. Why? She was beautifull and could have anyone she wanted. [37] I seemed every criminal group desired to victimize her. [38] Peaches supposedly had a large amount of drugs; including heroine and paraphernalia, around the home. Her husband would have seen that; especially since the paraphernalia was in large quantities. [39] She studied Satanic cultism; probably from curiosity. [40] She was a "Model". It Is very unusual for a model to have tattoos. [41] She was "Killed" in her home; but, no neighbors noticed, she supposedly did not scream, there was no loud talk; and no strangers were noticed in the neighborhood; as well as no strange vehicles were seen. [42] In her interview shown on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXarF-ZdJ8o she behaved strangely, talked strangely, coughed; and held her heart. She was very nervous; and looked ill. Here is the crime scene: [1]] there were 4 people who came to her house. Only 1 let her see her when she visited. She attempted to let her in. The other 3 forced their way into her house. They began to take drugs. AS a precaution, they Forced her into taking drugs while she attempted to avoid them by watching her show on the computer. She resisted the attempts to force drugs into her. she was stabbed in the thumbs and wrists while fighting. Eventually, she was forcefully injected in her elbow areas. THAT Is a typical drug addict behavior. They were paranoid she would call the Police. [2] The addicts searched her cabinets for more drugs. They searched through her cabinets for methadone; which is a heroine substitute. They took what they could of that. [3] After injecting her, she still fought. The spoon used to heat the heroine fell under the bed. [4] The scene of the crime was set up for blaming her for the drugs. That would terminate her credibility. That is typical drug user behavior. [5] She was still facing her computer when she collapsed. It is not typical for drug addicts to watch a computer screen while taking drugs. [6] She could not Take care of her child that was transferred away to another room. [7] Her husband did not take good care of her to prevent her from being alone. He knew she was not an addict. She trusted him because of that. [8] She kept communications to prevent anyone from breaking in her home and hurting her. [9] The addicts took their drugs in other rooms. [10] She was blamed for the crimes committed. [11] she was never an addict. Addicts always wear long sleeve clothing. When she wore short sleeve clothing, she had no injection site marks on her arms. The marks last from years to a lifetime. Most addict's veins collapse. They use alternate routes of injection; such as genitals, feet, legs, and eyes. [12] She was blamed; by rumours, for her being an addict. That prevented anyone from caring for her, or helping her; as well as believing her. [13] She was extremely happy with her life. She had no thoughts of suicide. [14] She also had other drugs in her body accordingly to "reports". [15] Photos were probably taken of her being inebriated prior to the crime. She was blamed for drugs; as well as rumours being spread by addicts who wanted her for their own selves. Peaches supposedly "Died" from Heroine overdose. Here are the facts from my 30 minute investigation: * Some knew she was going to die * She claimed she was happier than ever; before her "death", by being a mother. NOTE: I have been told by many if they reach the peak in their life, They desire to die. THAT is probably an Illuminati programming. * It was stated she died with her son by her side [http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/peaches-geldof-found-dead-11-month-old-son-side-report-article-1.1753242] . It as also stated she died with her husband by her side. * The "Heroine" she supposedly took was 61% pure compared to the normal 30% that was found in that area. Drug dealers and suicidal people use higher potency drugs to kill targets. * In the Metro photo, the right side was cut off. The girl in the photo was not seen on the left; but, her hand was seen. The boy on her right was seen. * She supposedly had 2 boys. One was not hers; that was a third child. 2 were from her second husband. It was stated she was back with her daughter again. She is seen photographed with her daughter. * She attended her own funeral. * "Peaches-Remains" is the tag under one of her photos. * She had 2 coffins: 1 was wooden. One was painted. * Her headstone on her "grave" was not shown on the Internet. * She was buried accordingly to some reports. She was cremated accordingly to other reports; in an unspecified area. * She was involved in Scientology. Scientology groups do not allow members to leave. The group that tried to get me to join said they kill any member who tries to leave. * In her "death" reports, coroners did not know the cause of death. * Noone would attend an addicts funeral; but a few. That limits visitors to a specified quantity. * She had a "private" funeral. * She was not allowed to longer work for a lingerie company [Fake company?] due to her nude photos and rumours she was an addict. That is illegal and discrimination. She could have sued them. They stated the lingerie was for young girls. That seems to be a prostitution ring. * She was juicing before her death. That indicates she was trying to keep healthy. Addicts do not do that. * She was on methadone [supposedly] for 2.5 years. That is never administered for that long of a time. * She left home at the age of 18. That indicates an escape from a dysfunctional family. * Peaches had punctures on her thumb, wrists and elbows [http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2014/07/peaches-geldof-died-of-heroin-overdose-coroner-rules/] That could have been a scene of forced injection. No addict EVER uses thumbs for an injection site. If not, she was so inebriated, he had no control over herself. * Peaches supposedly was seen drinking in Los Angelos, California while being topless and showing her tattoos. * Peaches placed a "Sexy Selfie" while on her bed in March 2014. * Peaches helped donate clothes to a cancer research company. * References: * Peaches Geldorf Body for Funeral: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-26969233 * Peaches Geldorf Cremation: http://www.scattering-ashes.co.uk/news/peaches-geldofs-ashes/ * Peaches with her son by her side during death: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/peaches-geldof-found-dead-11-month-old-son-side-report-article-1.1753242 * Peaches Regrets Tattoos: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/8727294/Peaches-Geldof-Why-was-I-allowed-to-have-tattoos-aged-14.html * Peaches First Wedding Mystery: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/2552014/Peaches-Geldof-back-home-after-surprise-wedding.html * Peaches Troubled Life: http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/peaches-geldof-battled-her-own-demons-and-drugs-after-the-death-of-her-mother-paula-yates/story-fnk826rj-1226877448154 * Peaches "Sexy Selfie": http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2582585/Peaches-Geldof-smoulders-topless-sexy-selfie.html * Peaches interviewed: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2009/jan/11/peaches-geldof-interview * Test showed NO drugs: http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2014/may/01/inquest-peaches-geldof-plans-photos-heroin-overdose * Peaches caught purchasing drugs [For a teen?]: http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2014/may/01/inquest-peaches-geldof-plans-photos-heroin-overdose * Peaches denounced drug usage: http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2014/jun/20/peaches-geldof-last-interview-heroin-spectator Reports: [1]PEACHES Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof was born on March 13 1989.

HuffPost Canada Music Posted: 04/08/2014 12:15 pm EDT Updated: 04/09/2014 9:59 am EDT ASSOCIATED PRESS Peaches Geldof's death at the age of 25 has been a shock, leaving family and fans to try and figure out how such a tragedy could happen to the mother of two. Kent police announced almost immediately that the death of famed musician Bob Geldof's daughter was "sudden and unexplained" and that they did not suspect foul play. The Daily Mail reported that the police also found "‘no evidence of hard drugs, no visible signs of injury and no suicide note." Police are continuing their investigation into the death, though "they don't consider it suspicious," according to AP. Geldof's body has been taken to a hospital for a post-mortem to determine the cause of death. Results may take several days. The British press are speculating about what might have happened, much of it centered on Geldof's history of dangerous diets. In late 2011, Geldof told OK magazine about her vegetable juice diet, which she would consume exclusively for a month to lose 10 pounds. "I do juicing. You juice vegetables and then you drink it three times a day. It's gross. I do it usually for about a month," she said at the time, "I have no willpower but with the juicing I'm like, 'I have to do it because I have to lose this extra ten pounds.'" She added in that interview that, being in the public eye, she felt a lot of pressure to be thin. "Sometimes it’s hard. If you open any high-fashion magazine, the girls in it are stick-thin and then they've been air-brushed down to the point where it’s just like, ludicrousness. I have days when I wake up and think: 'I’m so fat.'" At the time, Geldof's OK interview sparked a backlash from nutritionists, including a spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association who told The Sun, as reported by The Daily Mail: "Peaches joins a long line of celebs who are braindead when it comes to nutrition. Peaches is at high risk of electrolyte abnormalities which could lead to acute cardiac arrest. 'Rapid dieting like this not only makes you lose muscle strength but wastes away your internal organs. It is what kills anorexics. It is a stupid approach and it is irresponsible to promote this sort of disordered eating. 'It's worrying that somebody who has money and access to contacts would pick such a ridiculous way to diet." Though this all happened in 2011, RadarOnline.com reports that worries about Geldof's weight were revived earlier this year: Geldof’s 'worringly skinny' body raised concern during London Fashion Week in February, when she posted Instagram shots of her jaw-droopingly tiny waist and arms on Instagram. Bloggers called the look 'super skinny,' 'scary,' and expressed concern for her health." Whatever the cause of death, Geldof leaves behind a grieving family already shaken by the death of her mother, Paula Yates, in 2000 and the apparent suicide of Yate's second husband, INXS singer Michael Hutchence, in 1997. Geldof's husband, musician Thomas Cohen, said on Monday, "My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra and I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts everyday. We shall love her forever." Her father, Live Aid organizer and Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof, also released a statement: "We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. We loved her and will cherish her forever. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?" Making all this even sadder, Peaches had debuted a new column in Mother & Baby magazine just a few weeks before her death. "After years of struggling to know myself, feeling lost at sea, rudderless and troubled, having babies through which to correct the multiple mistakes of my own traumatic childhood was beyond healing," she wrote. "I felt finally anchored in place, with lives that literally depend on me, and I am not about to let them down, not for anyone or anything."

Benett/Getty Images A coroner has ruled that Peaches Geldof died of a heroin overdose, according to the BBC, which attended the inquest in Britain today. The TV presenter and daughter of musician Bob Geldof had been a heroin addict and was taking the substitute drug methadone for two-and-a-half years before her death, but had apparently begun using heroin again. The 25-year-old was found by her husband, Tom Cohen, slumped in a spare room of the home they shared in Wrotham, Kent, on April 7. He had been away with the older of their two sons, Astala, leaving Geldof at home with their 11-month old son, Phaedra. Geldof was pronounced dead at the scene. Police later found 6.9 grams of heroin in the house. A syringe containing the fatal dose was discovered hidden in a box of candy next to the bed. Related: Heroin Played a Role in Death of Peaches Geldof Read: Peaches Geldof Dies at 25 Cohen told the inquest looking into Geldof's death that his wife had begun using the drug again earlier this year in February, according to the BBC. He said he witnessed her flushing drugs down the toilet but was unaware of other drugs in the house until they were found by police. Cohen added that his wife had taken weekly drug tests since seeking treatment for her addiction two years ago, but he now believes that she lied about the tests being negative. According to the BBC, pathologist Peter Jerreat said the levels of heroin in Geldof's body were in a "fatal range." Traces of codeine, methadone and morphine were also found in her blood. The pathologist also noted that puncture wounds were found on Geldof's body on her elbows, wrists and thumbs. "It's said that the death of Peaches Geldof-Cohen is history repeating itself but this not entirely so," coroner Roger Hatch said at the inquest, according to the BBC. Geldof's mother, Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose at the age of 41 when Peaches was 11 years old. "By November last year, she had ceased to take heroin as a result of the considerable treatment and counseling that she had received," Hatch said. "This was a significant achievement for her but, for reasons we will never know, prior to her death she returned to taking heroin."

Peaches Geldof, the daughter of the rock star and Live Aid founder Bob Geldof, says she regrets every one of her many tattoos. 'If I could graft a completely new skin for myself, I would,” said Peaches Geldof Photo: REX By Richard Eden 7:28AM BST 28 Aug 2011 Bob Geldof has been criticised in the past, often unfairly, for the louche activities of some of his children. Now, his daughter Peaches seems to have questioned the rock singer’s parenting skills. The 22-year-old television presenter says she wishes that she had been dissuaded from covering her body with “art” work. “Fourteen-year-old girls should not be allowed to have tattoos,” she tells Mandrake. “The ones I have from that age are more like prison tattoos.” Peaches - whose mother, Paula Yates, died of an accidental heroin overdose - adds: “I recently came to the conclusion that I regret every single tattoo I’ve ever had done. I have so many bad tattoos. Some of them I look at now and find them horrendous. If I could graft a completely new skin for myself, I would.” Archbishop’s man is in a Branson pickle The Rev George Pitcher’s exit from his role as the Archbishop of Canterbury’s public affairs secretary, after making a crude joke to Mandrake about the commentator Cristina Odone, might, on reflection, have been for the best for all concerned.

Apparently, Peaches dumped her ex-boyfriend Faris Badwin to embark on a whirlwind romance with Drummey. The low key nuptials were performed in a Las Vegas Chapel by Rev Steven Febrettti. Reportedly, the bride was wearing a white summer dress while according to Fabretti the groom was looking very tired and donned his shades throughout the wedding. The pair didn't invite any of their friends to the wedding and hence the photographer acted as the witness for the couple. The former lovebirds had their initials tattooed on their arms to show off their love for each other. Unfortunately, the cracks in her marriage showed signs immediately after that. Following a series of rows the pair announced on February 2009 that they were ending their marriage in an amicable manner and would continue to remain good friends. However Geldof quickly recovered from this matrimonial disaster and found love soon after that. Currently she is married to rocker Thomas Cohen.

[11]Peaches Geldof's Death Now Linked with the Church of Scientology The Church was known to have a strict drug addiction treatment program Peaches Geldof's death now linked with the Church of ScientologyIn light of the sudden and unexpected death of Peaches Geldof at just 25, theories about what might have caused the death are beginning to emerge. Police and family are still baffled as to what happened, since there were no signs of foul play, no hard drugs found at the scene and no suicide note indicating that Peaches took her own life. Radar is throwing around the theory that the Church of Scientology might have had some influence in the affair, since Peaches had joined the very strict and secretive organization some time ago, because she felt it filled a spiritual void in her life. Peaches was known to struggle with a drug program and Scientology has a controversial program for helping people get off drugs called Narcocon which they claim has a very good success rate. Apparently, this successful program wasn't enough to save the troubled model and actress, despite the fact that she'd been involved with the church for some time. The first time it was speculated she was a member was back in 2009, when she was spotted leaving the Celebrity Center in Los Angeles, holding some Scientology literature. Later, she went public with her new beliefs in an interview with ITV 2, when she admitted that she'd been into Scientology for almost two years. In the interview, she said that “I’ve been a Scientologist for a while now. I might as well be open about it. It’s something that I agree with.” She explained her choice of faith by saying “it’s like difficult to explain. Like I was confused about what path to go through, and I felt like I needed a spiritual path. And I was thinking about it a lot and looking at different things.” She also said that it was about becoming a more spiritual person “I always kind of felt that I was lacking something when I didn’t have a faith … In the end, all it’s about is making yourself a better person. Like, that’s all it’s about. It’s just working through stages and working with other people to become a calm person and it’s really helped me in that way. I have good friends who are Scientologists.” It all lasted until 2013, when she switched from the secretive Scientology to a new religion called “Thelema,” also known as OTO. This religion deals mostly with black magic. Showing off her religion, Peaches boasted a new “OTO” tattoo and also posted pictures from alleged cult books. One caption read “#Thelema #OTO for all my fellow Thelemites on Instagram!” The cause of her death remains to be determined by a coroner and the results are due to be made public later this week. Until then, her family is left devastated by her sudden passing and struggle to come to terms with what may have caused it. [12]Peaches Geldof Autopsy Inconclusive Posted: 04/09/2014 8:11 am EDT Updated: 06/09/2014 5:59 am EDT LONDON (AP) — An autopsy on Peaches Geldof was inconclusive and toxicology tests will be conducted in an attempt to determine what killed the 25-year-old celebrity, police said Wednesday. Geldof was pronounced dead by paramedics at her home in southeast England on Monday. Kent Police said a post-mortem examination had not revealed the cause and a toxicology report could take several weeks. Geldof, the daughter of Irish musician Bob Geldof and the late TV presenter Paula Yates, had worked as a model, writer and television show host. She grew up in the glare of Britain's press, which reveled in the late-night antics of her teenage years, and in the shadow of her mother's death from a drug overdose when Peaches was 11. More recently she had married for a second time, to musician Tom Cohen, had two young sons and worked as a broadcaster and fashion writer. She said in 2009 that her drug-taking years were behind her. In a column for Mother and Baby magazine, published the day after her death, Geldof wrote that motherhood had made her "happier than ever." "I've achieved a sort of perfect balance," she wrote. "Right now life is good. And being a mum is the best part of it. " Police are treating her death as non-suspicious but unexplained. The force said detectives are investigating the circumstances and will hand their report to a coroner, who is likely to hold an inquest. In Britain, coroners usually hold inquests to determine the facts of unexplained, sudden or violent deaths. [13]Peaches Geldof death inquest: Police statement in full By Tom EamesWednesday, Jul 23 2014, 6:54am EDT 43Shares Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Kent Police have released an official statement following the inquest into Peaches Geldof's death. A coroner's report confirmed that the 25-year-old writer's death on April 7 was "drugs-related". Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fotheringham said: "It has been established that Peaches Geldof-Cohen had been previously addicted to heroin for a number of years but that more recently had ceased taking the drug. Peaches had been supported by drug treatment workers for two-and-a-half years being prescribed methadone. "Peaches had indicated her desire to come off of methadone completely, and was following a plan to reduce the level of methadone she was taking. A drugs test in November indicated that she was not taking any illicit drug." The report confirmed that Geldof began using heroin again at the beginning of 2014. "Witnesses report that around February of this year there was a suspicion that Peaches had started using illicit drugs again, including being found with a substance believed to be heroin at her home address. Following her death, drugs paraphernalia was found in the house and a quantity of high grade heroin was found to be secreted in a cupboard in the bedroom Peaches regularly used. "The post-mortem found evidence of recent puncture marks on the inside of both elbows and on her left hand; the toxicology indicates a fatal level of heroin in the body. The pathologist states cause of death to be opiate intoxication." The report concluded: "When considering all of the above information, I, as the Senior Investigating Officer, conclude that Peaches Geldof-Cohen died of a heroin overdose. "From known contact between Peaches and her family and friends her death occurred at or after 8pm on the evening of Sunday, April 6, 2014 and from evidence available she was at her home address alone with her son Phaedra. "There is no indication that any other third party was present or involved in her death and there is no indication that Peaches intended to take her own life or harm herself in any way as she was reported to be of happy disposition and planning for the future with friends and family." A police investigation into the supply of the drugs continues. [14]Peaches Geldof dropped by lingerie company Ultimo By Sherna Noah , Press Association Monday 29 March 2010 PRINT Top of Form Bottom of Form A A A Peaches Geldof has been axed as the "face and body" of underwear brand Ultimo following claims about her private life. The company said it would be removing visuals of the 21-year-old, who was appointed in May last year, from all shops and window displays. In a statement, a spokeswoman for Miss Ultimo lingerie said: "We have been in meetings all morning with regards to the stories that have surfaced over the weekend about Peaches and unfortunately we have no option but to terminate her contract. "Miss Ultimo is a brand geared towards a young female audience and as a company we have a social responsibility to ensure we are promoting only positive role models that young women can aspire to. "We are thus in the process of removing Peaches from the website and we are working with Debenhams to remove her visuals from all Miss Ultimo shops and window displays throughout the UK." Michelle Mone, the founder of the brand, said: "We've given this a lot of thought, but there's a point where a business must stick to its principles and as a brand that targets young women, we feel it is impossible for Peaches to continue to work with us as the face of Miss Ultimo lingerie." The Miss Ultimo range is geared towards women aged 18 to 25 and has been stocked in Debenhams stores and online. Geldof is thought to be currently in Los Angeles. Her spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment. A lawyer for the model and socialite has denied the reports of drug-taking, saying Geldof was drunk. Jonathan Coad said in a statement: "The allegations that our client was carrying and injecting heroin are ... denied, our client having consumed alcohol with the other individual leading to the 'highs' described and portrayed in the photographs." Storm, the model agency, said it had no plans to drop Geldof from its books. Geldof, the daughter of Bob Geldof, divorced rock musician Max Drummey after a six-month marriage last year. They married in secret in a drive-in ceremony in Las Vegas after a 10-day romance.

They have also received reports that a lawn mower was stolen from the grounds of the property in mid-April. The most recent raid took place last Friday after thieves damaged the CCTV, it was claimed. Officers arrived at the property within five minutes of the call and no personal items were believed to have been taken, a spokesman confirmed on Monday night.

The socialite, who was first rumored to be interested in the controversial faith in June, made the revelation in a new ITV2 documentary which sees her being interviewed by Fearne Cotton, according to The Sun. Geldof is quoted as saying: "I've been [a Scientologist] for a while now. It's like, I was confused about what path to go through and I feel like I needed a spiritual path and I was looking at different things. "I felt I was lacking something when I didn't have a faith.

Peaches Geldof airs at 10pm tonight on ITV2. [18]The Night I Did Heroin With Peaches Geldof: One Man’s Story Liz Black | March 26, 2010 12:28 pm Gawker is reporting a fascinating, we-couldn’t-look-away story about a guy who met British model-singer person Peaches Geldof in L.A. when they were both crashing at a friend’s place, and ended up having a night that should seriously be turned into a The Hangover-style movie. Only instead of meeting Mike Tyson and getting drunk, this guy did heroin and ended up on the way to meeting Xenu at the Scientology Center in L.A. Reddit user Thatcoolguyben wrote his account of a night spent with Peaches Geldof, and while any part of it could be fabricated, he has the NSFW pictures of Peaches to prove that at the very least, he got naked with her. We’re condensing his story down to some of the juicier bits – the entire thing is posted at Gawker - and it basically reads like hipster porn, all the way down to the part where they decide to get each others’ names tattooed. “At 3am I grab my friends car keys, and head out. We drive all over Hollywood looking for a tattoo parlor, with no luck. While driving around we get on the topic of drugs. At this point in my life I was very into all drugs, as was she. She told me she had a bit of heroin she brought with her from the UK and asked me if I was game. I was so the hunt began. . .At about 5am I was high as a kite and we start to watch a movie. Things get hot and heavy and before I know it we’re naked. . . We continued to use all night so I was quite foggy about the happenings. I faintly remember her asking me for a ride and me driving her somewhere. I awoke at about 1pm in a sauna, throwing up all over the place. . .I look around and read some stuff realizing I’m in the Celebrity Scientology Center in LA. This girl ended up being a hardcore Scientologist and a D-List celebrity, and we were doing a process called Purif. . .Not until days later when I looked through my camera of the pictures of that night did I fully realize everything.” And by “Everything,” he means “Holy sh*t, I just shot up with the daughter of the guy who wrote “I Don’t Like Mondays” – score!?” If it wasn’t for Peaches’ signature tats (which we got a good look at when we saw her lingerie ad photos), we don’t know if we would believe this, but the proof is in the ink, we think. [19] Interview: Peaches Geldof Peaches Geldof has been making headlines since her early teens. Now she is about to write her own - as editor of a new magazine. So what can Rachel Cooke tell her that she doesn't already know about journalism? Rachel Cooke Saturday 10 January 2009 19.01 EST Last modified on Saturday 10 January 2009 19.05 EST I was brought up to be nice to younger girls, so it is in a spirit of some sisterliness that I approach my meeting with Peaches Geldof. The 19-year-old student of English literature and sometime model would like to be a full-time journalist after she graduates, so I'm thinking that I might be able to offer her a little career advice, or perhaps make her laugh with some funny story about the old days, before mobiles and laptops, when copy had to be filed from freezing telephone boxes, and it was still compulsory to smoke at your desk. Unfortunately, once I'm actually in her presence, all this feminist bonhomie goes right out of the window. Silly me. It seems that I am the one who is going to get the career advice. To sum up: the work that I do is pretty rubbish. Most interviews are just so... boring. Then again, I mustn't feel too bad. It could be worse. I could be on a tabloid. 'Don't get me wrong,' says Peaches, consolingly. 'Broadsheets can be scathing. But I have respect for broadsheet journalists because they haven't succumbed to degrading themselves, to writing pidgin English with all these terrible colloquialisms, the phrasing of which is just, like, embarrassing.' Peaches and I are having lunch at her Mayfair hotel (her home is currently in Brooklyn, New York, where she lives with her husband of five months, the musician Max Drummey). We arrived here in a somewhat roundabout way. Peaches's publicist had first taken us to a coffee shop close to where her client had been having her photograph taken. For me, this was the perfect venue: the place was virtually empty. But Peaches disapproved. 'This is horrible,' she announced, which must have been nice for the staff. And then: 'God, I'm cold.' Next, we tried a diner she favoured. Alas, no room at the inn. So then to another restaurant. This was far too noisy; I would never have been able to pick up her voice on my tape recorder. Finally, the three of us got in a taxi and came here. On the way, Peaches faffed with her BlackBerry, attempted contact with her best friend, Fifi, and rebuked her publicist. The publicist had made a possibly mildly critical comment that Peaches had taken against. 'Why do you say these things?' she said. 'Seriously. Why do you?' She is more friendly now, eating her pasta, flicking her hair. But it's hard to ignore the feeling that she thinks I am a moron. It's there in the tone of her voice which, faced with my questions, my tentatively offered opinions, is often scornful; and it's there in her face, which, though so young and so baby-soft, is mostly held in a rictus of disparagement. I try to remember myself at 19. Was I like this? Should I put the whole performance down to youth? But, no. I can remember myself at 19 very clearly indeed, and I wouldn't have said boo to a goose. Then again, at 19, I was desperately trying to persuade the editor of my university's student newspaper I was capable of writing a few theatre listings; Peaches, on the other hand, is not only a columnist for the style bible Nylon, but the editor of her own magazine, Disappear Here, the first issue of which is out now - assuming you're cool enough to know where to find it. Quite a bad time to start a magazine, I say (Geldof and her editorial director, James Brown, the former editor of Loaded, have put their own cash into the venture, though how much exactly, they aren't telling). 'Yeah,' says Peaches. 'With the whole recession thing. But the first issue is free, so we're not worried about selling. We're going to put 45,000 copies in our favourite boutiques and clubs, guerrilla style.' So how will they make money? From advertising? 'The first issue has no advertising; it's all editorial.' Right, so... 'We want it to be huge. Obviously, we want to make money from it, that would be great. But it's just a great magazine, and I want to share it with people.' She must believe, then, that there is a gap in the market, one hitherto unspotted by the rest of us. 'Ye-ah. Of course there is. A huge gap. I feel hugely patronised by women's magazines. Like Company and Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan especially. I don't wanna know about sex tips, I don't wanna know about make-up, I don't wanna read patronising interviews with Angelina Jolie and Reese Witherspoon when all they give away is that they wanna have more kids. I just hate it. They think all we wanna know about is babies, or high-street fashion. But that's so old-fashioned. I wanna read, like, interesting interviews!' Me too! But when I flip open Disappear Here, I see that Peaches has chosen to interview Vivienne Westwood, the designer, who has been the subject of similar (and better) pieces approximately five thousand times before (sample question: 'How's your pet yak?' Answer: Westwood seems not to know what she is on about.) So, come on. Who else? Who is her dream interview? Maybe I can nick one of her ideas. 'Probably Andy Warhol,' she says. 'Or one of the suffragettes.' But... 'Or someone weird like Jack Nicholson. Or strange musicians, like Björk. But not just the same old people like Lindsay Lohan. She's been completely media-trained. It's not real. I want something real. People deserve it. A lot of women feel that way, and men, too. That's why Disappear Here is also written for men. Tony Benn has a column! It's all-encompassing.' Before her quickie Las Vegas marriage last summer, and her subsequent move to the relative anonymity of New York where no one really knows who she is, Peaches seemed to be spending most of her time dodging the paparazzi outside her Camden home. So how, exactly, does her vocation as a journalist work? Is it really possible to be on both sides of the fence? 'Yes. Because I don't count tabloid journalists as journalists. Everyone has a choice. The photographer who hasn't made any money photographing his passion, like wildlife, let's say he makes these amazing jungle scenes. So then he resorts to being a paparazzi. I don't respect that. He should persevere. He should do different jobs, but keep his passion until he can say: this is me. A lot of paparazzi wanted to be real photographers but they failed, and they did that instead, and it's not right; it's stalking.' I suppose that I agree with this, but the point I meant to make was more that her own fame will inevitably muddy her work; that there will never be enough professional distance between herself and those she is expected to interview. (Of course, given that she is the second daughter of Sir Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, this would have been a problem even had she not chosen to be such a high-profile party girl; I imagine that, as a baby, she was dandled on Bono's knee - or Simon Le Bon's, at least.) Peaches, however, thinks this can only be a good thing. She is vastly more sympathetic than the likes of me, and therefore more likely to have people open up to her. 'The other day, I was doing Nylon TV: it's microphone journalism on the red carpet. It was a fashion event. Heather Graham was there. She'd recently had a bit of scandal with her love life, and they were all asking her these really personal questions and you could see her retreating into herself. It was horrible to watch, like bear-baiting. So when she came to me, I just started asking her these bizarre questions, like what her favourite cheese was. Weird stuff. Questions about wildlife. Afterwards, she came over to me and said: "thank you so much". I only did that because I have been in that situation. It's so fucking patronising asking the same questions as everyone else.' Yes, but your responsibility is to your audience, not to your subject. Does anyone really want to know what Heather Graham's favourite cheese is? I can't say that the answer keeps me awake at night. What if she were interviewing Peter Mandelson? Would she, in a bid not to stress the poor minister out, ask him about his favourite cheese rather than the economy? 'Obviously I would broach that question [about the economy], but I would go about it in a way that was slightly sympathetic. I've been interviewed in attack mode, and it doesn't work.' She forks her wild mushroom ravioli into her rosebud mouth with renewed vigour. Oh, Peaches. (Or to use her full name: Oh, Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa.) There's just no telling her, is there? Of course, on the one hand, given the terrible loss of her mother eight years ago from a heroin overdose, there should be something cheering about this indomitable self-belief; at least she's not doing an Amy Winehouse even if, as the tabloids alleged, she once bought drugs from the same dealer. Then again, given Bob's supposed strictness - if the newspapers are to be believed, he is a Victorian Dad, without the mutton-chop whiskers - how come she isn't a bit less, well, lippy? Didn't he bring her up to respect her elders? 'That's the last thing he ever was,' she says, when I ask about Victorian Dad. 'He was strict. I only got £5 pocket money when I was 14, and I still have to pay my own way now. But he was liberal, too.' He understands what she is going through, and will always believe her version of events over that of the tabloids, no matter what. 'He's lived through it [fame] and he knows it's all shit. The day my father picks up the Daily Mail and believes the stories in it about me over my own stories is the day that I lose all faith in humanity. I am pretty sure it will never come.' She was always fiercely independent, and moved out of home at 16, even though she was still studying for her A levels (she has a place to read English at Queen Mary & Westfield College, part of the University of London, but she has deferred for a year to be with Max, and is now taking courses at the New School in New York). 'But even when I lived at home, my father and I would never raise our voices,' she says. 'It was always like a cold war. Very meditative. We'd try and talk each other down. I've always been the wordy one. My dad says I have a frantic brain. It used to be exasperating; now we have a mutual understanding. I respect him, he respects me.' When she got married last August, to a man she'd been dating for only a few weeks (the couple, who met via MySpace, had known each other for about a month in total), her father was reported to have been furious, and she was called to Spain, where Sir Bob was on holiday, for a showdown. 'Yeah, that big story. Locking me up and throwing away the key and trying to get me divorced. All bullshit. We were eating at the tapas bar together laughing at it all. It's a fantasy world. It's like Alice Through the Looking Glass.' Her dad likes Max. End of. Only about 10 per cent of what she reads about herself in the press is true, she says. So what is untrue? 'All of it... that I'm this drug-addicted, shoplifting, bisexual, husband-cheating-on diva.' Ooh. I've never read anything about her being bi-sexual. But anyway. In July, shortly before she disappeared into Max's arms, it was reported that she had taken an overdose. True or false? 'Yeah, I've taken drugs. Yes, I have had experiences, and a few of those experiences were unsavoury, not ones I want to repeat, but I was growing up. I wanted the experience.' Were these experiences frightening? 'No. It made me feel sick. I wasn't hugely into drugs, and I'm sober now.' What on earth does she mean? Hearing non-addicts talk earnestly about sobriety makes me want to snigger; it's like hearing someone who was dumped by their girlfriend three weeks ago refer to their celibacy. 'I mean that I'm straight,' she says, crossly. 'I'm not Amy Winehouse. I never have been. I wasn't a crackhead.' Not that she thinks her treatment has been especially unusual. 'Joe Bloggs who only earns 20 grand and really has to struggle doesn't want to see Brad and Angelina strolling round in their million-dollar mansions. He wants to see them falling apart because that will make him feel better about himself.' Our need to knock celebrities is, she says: 'Twisted: it's deep in the mid-brain below the survival instinct. That lust to see a downfall. It's animalistic.' She calls herself a scapegoat. 'I went to a girls' day school [Queen's College, alma mater of Gertrude Stein and Katherine Mansfield], so I know all about that. It sucks. I've been that person for a while now.' She is often, she complains, quoted out of context - like when the newspapers followed up an interview she gave to Heat, and implied that she had said that her marriage would end in divorce. 'I spoke to Heat because it's the only celebrity magazine with a sense of humour,' she says. 'Unlike Closer, which is...' Her publicist, sitting on the next table, tells her not to slag off Closer. 'Oh, I can't speak about Closer. So like Now, then, or Star.' Her publicist tells her that she really shouldn't slag off any of them. 'Anyway, I made a critique about the spiralling rates of divorce. It wasn't about my marriage.' Still, I say, 19 is quite young to be married. Perhaps she was right when she also said, in the same interview, that her decision to tie the knot was a bit nuts. 'I don't agree. I'm more than old enough to be making a commitment.' But why didn't she just live with Max? Why get married? 'It was this really archaic romance, something I didn't think would ever happen to me. It was like this ball of energy. A tension that was building. We both knew it was really intense. It was so pure, and so sweet.' Peaches had initially joined Max in America, where his band Chester French was on tour, to escape the fallout from another relationship. It was meant to be a break, not a lifetime commitment. 'But he was, like, I don't want you to go. So then it was: let's get married. We both knew it was really out there. When I'm old, I can tell my kids this stuff. Not everyone who's 19 gets married in Vegas. It may seem ridiculous, but we are really in love. We're really happy, and I hope we will be for a long, long time. I love him and he loves me. No, I didn't get married thinking I'd get divorced, but I also don't know what will happen in the future, and I would say the same thing if I was 30 because I don't know one friend whose parents are married.' She hopes, however, that they will move back to London, perhaps next month. She misses her home. 'The social scene [in New York] is a little bit tired.' Does she miss her sisters? What are they like? 'Pixie [who is 18] is very enigmatic. So beautiful. She models. I see models in Vogue, and they're all Germanic and emaciated and they only have one expression, which is either boredom or fear. Pixie looks like a different person every time. There are stories that we are in competition, but I support her fully. Fifi [who is 25] works in PR. She was the horsey one who used to hang out on the King's Road. Me and Pixie got into rock'n'roll and went to dive bars in Old Street, and hung out with artists and poets, but she loved hanging out with her private school friends and she didn't do anything wildly creative. She wanted the office job, and to build a family. She's been with her boyfriend for four years. He's a real sweetheart who works in banking, and they live together in Sloane Square. Tiger [her half-sister, Paula Yates's daughter by Michael Hutchence, whom Bob Geldof adopted] is 12. She's definitely the best-looking. She's going to be a heart-breaker because she is very cute.' I think it's time we got back to talking about journalism and fame; I'm still bothered by the contradiction between her private life and her work life. I do wonder, if all she has said about the horrors of press intrusion is true, why she hasn't tried to be a bit more anonymous. I'm prepared to accept that she has wanted to be a writer since she was nine - and, yes, I do know that she had a column in the Sunday Telegraph at 14 - but it's pretty obvious that, these days, writing is far too lonely a business for her to devote herself to it full time (though she gives me a short lecture on the 'companionship' of writing: I must find it such a 'catharsis' when I am 'translating a visceral experience' into prose for the benefit of my readers). She tells me herself that she is determined to be front of house rather than backstage, that TV presenting, with all its 'interaction' really excites her. Doesn't she ever wish she had made more of an effort to stay under the radar? 'No! Because if I'd done that, I wouldn't be able to do all the things I love. You're required to be outspoken in journalism, and in television you're exposed anyway, because everyone watches it.' But you can be a writer or a director or a producer without anyone even knowing what you look like. 'Obviously, doors are open to me, and why wouldn't I walk through them? Other people have to work a long time for that.' Yes, they do. Doesn't she ever feel guilty about that? 'Yeah, I feel terrible a lot of the time. Especially with my fashion line [she has designed a range for PPQ]. People say: "We went to St Martins [school of fashion] and now she gets a fashion line." I would love to help all these St Martins people, but I can't. So I would rather reap the benefits I have been given.' What about being taken seriously, though? She is obviously bright, a fan of John Cheever and JG Ballard. Why, for instance, did she recently agree to pose naked on the cover of Tatler? It's quite hard to get people to take you seriously when you do that sort of thing. 'Well, I think that's a really staid, feminist point of view. Just because I'm 19, and posing nude doesn't mean women shouldn't take me seriously. I found it empowering.' It's not women I'm thinking about, I say. It's men; they're the ones who, you will one day realise, pretty much rule the world of work. 'Men, women!' she says. 'I found it empowering. It was the complete essence of me!' We could probably go on like this all day. But Peaches has finished her pasta now, and I'm finding it increasingly hard to keep a smile on my staid, feminist face. You seem quite tough, I say. Are you happy? Or is fame, as John Updike once said, a mask that eats into the face? 'Wow, that's intense,' says Peaches, sounding, for the first time, vaguely interested in something I've said. 'Look, if you start Googling yourself, and buying the magazines you're in, maybe it would chip away at you. All that you would have would be these creations of you, these abominations of you. I'm too clever for that.' Is fame lonely? 'No. I married an unknown person. I've always dated unknown people. All my friends have shitty jobs, or go to university and eat beans out of a can. I don't mind paying three pounds to get in [to a gig].' But does she feel, somehow, that she has to live up to her parents, to their fame? 'No. I have completely different interests to them. I don't feel like I need to be a successor to my mother, or her work. I may be their spawn but I'm not...' She doesn't manage to finish this sentence, probably because I have just emitted an involuntary shriek at her use of the word 'spawn'.

It started a few years ago when Joel, only 25 at the time, killed himself. Then last year Peter fell out of a window at a party. He was 28. In December, Jamie had an overdose, aged 23. This past week, Melissa lost her battle to cancer, which came fast and hard, before she was even 30. And now Peaches Geldof – celebrity wild child turned mother of the year, who was, to me, my partner in crime throughout the reckless years of my late teens and young 20s – is gone too, just turned 25. They were all too young to die, with myriad talents and passions that propelled them. They were musicians, photographers, painters, writers – and like me – brimming with big ideas, idle time, and pent up problems, which were mostly untreated and unheard. We were messy and manic, angry and ambitious, from different backgrounds, with vastly different circumstances, bound by a common desire to live fast in spite of everything. And so we did. It was a brilliant time. Much of the last decade of my life has been filled with vibrant people and endless parties. Not all of us were rich kids. In fact, most of us, myself included, were quite the opposite – from ordinary families with little money at our disposal. But it didn't matter where you came from or what you represented as long as you were interesting. When Peaches lived in a hotel in Mayfair, I was holed up in Southwark squat. That disparity was part of the beauty of coming of age in London and a testament to the equalising power of the city's culture of young creativity – it was eclectic, both feast and famine, privilege and poverty, mixed up and moving all around us. I owe a lot of the freedom I had at the time to squatting – and lament the young people like myself of generations to come who will not have access to the city like I did, and the people that I did; who will not be able to pursue their interests to the fullest as they're chased out by the impossible cost of living. But as time pressed on, it seemed more evident to me that behind our revelry was a darkness deep inside. An aimlessness that made sacrifice of some of us and served as a warning to others. I started to ask myself: what are we doing and where are we going? Fate was this great force that brought us the new experiences for which we had longed, but fate was also flippant, rash – and could just as easily take it all away. Advertisement Like many of our peers, particularly those in close proximity to the spotlight, we were unapologetically selfish and self-absorbed. Our lives were riddled with bad decisions – be they plastered in the papers or still secrets. We grew older and got over that. Peaches got married and had two sons. I went back to school and got a job. Still, looking back, even though I often feel embarrassed at the kid I used to be, I can't help but feel terrified of this strange adult I am becoming. Our ability to move past the many mistakes we made and come out of it the better, makes it that much more bittersweet to now have to say goodbye. And as the list of friends to whom I have paid the same respect grows longer, I come to realise for the first time that just because you're young doesn't mean you'll live for ever. Is that what growing up is, I wonder? Not the job or the marriage – but learning that you're not invincible? If it is, it's a lesson I never thought I'd learn at this age so many times over, in such cruel and swift succession. If you're out there, wild and alive with so much still to see and do, don't worry. The party marches on. The people are still lustrous. What's changed for me, however, is that I now know that some nights must end, and some people I will lose. Getting older means learning how to say goodbye – to grieve and to grow. And so I do: goodbye to my friends now gone, whom I will remember fondly, for your complexities and gifts; and to my youth, wonderful and hideous, in all its darkness and its light. • This article was amended on 22 April 2014 to correct Jamie's age [21]This is an exercpt from a column about Peaches: "With no evidence of drug-taking on the scene, Geldof's death was initially described by police as sudden, unexplained and "non-suspicious". The post-mortem examination carried out by Dr Peter Jerreat at Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford was inconclusive, and samples of tissue were then sent to be tested for toxins." [22]This is in regards to Peaches purchasing drugs; but, who are they for?: Geldof had a long and troubled history of drug use. In May 2008 she was questioned but not charged after allegedly being seen offering a drug dealer up to £190. She was also mentioned in the inquest into the death of her friend Freddy McConnel, who died from a drug overdose aged 18 in 2011. It was found that he had written in his diary, months before his death: "Peaches is coming over later and I am going to inject for the first time. Perhaps I will die. I hope I don't." {Peaches went there to deliver drugs for him? She would not take drugs with him]. [23] Peaches Geldof's last interview: 'Heroin is such a bleak drug' In an interview with William Todd Schultz published in the Spectator, Geldof spoke about the pressures of fame Peaches Geldof Peaches Geldof said having her two sons, Astala and Phaedra, had changed her life and how people perceived her. Photograph: Ian West/PA Press Association Friday 20 June 2014 06.01 EDT Last modified on Friday 20 June 2014 23.41 EDT Peaches Geldof described heroin as "such a bleak drug" in what is thought to have been her last interview before she died a possibly drug-related death in April. The 25-year-old daughter of Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates was found dead by her musician husband, Thomas Cohen, at their home in Wrotham, Kent, on 7 April. At an inquest in May, DCI Paul Fotheringham, of Kent Police, said recent heroin use was likely to have played a role in her death. In an interview published this week in the Spectator, Geldof spoke of the pressures of fame and said she felt people thought she would die in the same way as her TV presenter mother, who died from an accidental heroin overdose at her London home aged 41 in 2000. Just weeks after the interview, the mother-of-two, who had been a high-profile figure on social media where she had posted a picture of herself and her mother a day before her death, was dead. She told journalist William Todd Schultz: "I'm young, but people all know the same information about me. That's the worst thing, the preconceptions. "Your life, they keep telling you, is pre-ordained – I'm going to die like my mother. 'She's going to end up like her mother.' And people expect you to spew these intimacies to them, like you are in a church confessional. It's an interview, not a therapy session." At her funeral in Davington, near Faversham, Kent, Geldof's body was carried into the church in a coffin poignantly decorated with a picture of her young family. Speaking about becoming a mother to her two sons, Astala and Phaedra – who were 23 months and 11 months old at the time of her death – Geldof said they had changed her life and how people saw her. "Suddenly I was this Earth mother," she said. "It was an overnight transformation. It was so profoundly hateful. Then, out of nowhere, it was 'Dang. We can't hate you anymore. Here she is in her golden hair, etc.' Now, for the first-time ever, there was gushing adulation." She said she was a fan of songwriter Elliott Smith, who had been a drug addict in the later years of his life, and told how she had been thinking about "the sad death of virtuosos", according to the interview. "Heroin is such a bleak drug," she said. "It always makes me so sad to hear about people like (film director Philip Seymour) Hoffman, who were real masters and also family men who were just wasted by the constant, gnawing obsession with it. All heroin users seem to have the same core internal pain, though. It's a fascinating concept – drug of choice." Geldof, whose Twitter account has more than 216,000 followers, said of fame: "Anyone who says they don't read their own press is categorically lying. You need to keep on top of it for your work. You cannot be in the public eye and not have it affect you." Her father, former singer with the Boomtown Rats, paid tribute to his daughter shortly after her death. In a statement on behalf of himself, his partner, Jeanne Marine, and Peaches Geldof's sisters, Fifi Trixibelle, Pixie and Tiger, he said she was the "wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us". A full inquest into her death is expected to take place on 23 July. [24] Like Peaches Geldof my nephew died of a heroin overdose.

I lost a dear family member in identical circumstances. My nephew John (not his real name) was 30 when he relapsed and died in 2010. Peaches and John were bright, talented young people and their deaths brought intense grief to all who loved them. Without direct experience of how addiction works, such losses are almost beyond comprehension. Yet sadly these deaths will continue if we still turn drug users into criminals instead of helping them as victims of addiction. John was a bright and sunny child, but in his early teens the break-up of his parents was devastating for him. Shortly afterwards his beloved grandfather died. He left home at around this time, got into cannabis, then worse. Later he described himself as a “user of drugs”, not an addict. John was imprisoned in 2009 for possession of a small amount of heroin, shared with friends. This was in accordance with the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act, which resulted in hefty penalties for users. After being charged and before going to prison, John weaned himself off heroin and on to methadone, got a call centre job, and continued his part-time degree course in history and philosophy. He still battled depression but his grandmother’s love kept him on the methadone and off the harder stuff. Prison meant an enforced detox so John came off the methadone on which he had been stable. His good character meant he was given an 18-month sentence but was released after nine. When he was out John was confronted with the reality of being seen as a criminal looking for work in an area with high unemployment. Faced with this situation he relapsed and overdosed. Like Peaches, John had been off drugs long enough to have lost tolerance for the amount he had previously taken. Left on methadone, he might have been alive today and writing this article. Advertisement Statistics about post-release deaths make for shocking reading: heroin is responsible for 8% of deaths in the 15-44 age range; the risk of a drugs-related death is 7.5 times higher for prisoners in the first two weeks after release. A letter from the head of drug services at Release, the national centre of expertise on drugs and drugs law, helped me to understand John’s path towards addiction to heroin. “Heroin is a physical and emotional painkiller: it lessens the difficulty or sadness of being, of feeling unloved, inadequate, frightened … Addiction is a symptom, not a disease. When two people can’t make it work, when the child needed security, then its faith in the world may be weakened. Then someone dies, which is another blow. The erosion of self-worth and enthusiasm for life has begun. It may turn around and through circumstance be repaired. The person may be depressed but functional or they may meet heroin and the pain goes away. After a month you are hooked.” Whereas in the UK the never-reviewed 1971 act still criminalises thousands, in Portugal users found with 10 days or less of drug supply are not prosecuted but are instead given cautions and invited to rehab. Those with greater quantities are prosecuted as dealers. Despite this change in legislation the drug problem has not worsened over 13 years and the number of addicts undergoing rehab has increased dramatically. The UK government must stop criminalising drug addiction and concentrate instead on the big dealers. We should treat addicts as victims needing help not imprisonment. We need to campaign with Release for a review of the misuse of drugs act and for the diversion of resources – £40,000 a year for every prisoner – towards rehab for all wanting it. Prisons, public and private, must be accountable for their practices with drug addicts. We also need rigorous support for vulnerable people to prevent more overdose deaths. King’s College London has conducted important work into the idea of providing naloxone to those at risk of overdose to prevent relapse deaths – this should be explored further. As Release says: “Nice people take drugs.” We must challenge those who label drug addicts as weak. Only then can we call ourselves a compassionate society. • This article was amended on 24 July 2014. It originally said the risk of a heroin-related death was 7.5 times higher for prisoners in the first two weeks after their release. In fact this figure relates not to heroin-related deaths but all drug-related deaths for prisoners following release. This has been corrected.
