Did Scientology Kill Peaches Geldof?
PEACHES Geldof was a member of Scientology shortly before she died.
The 25-year-old was struggling to stay off drugs and find her “spiritual path” — and had thought she’d found the answer in Scientology, RadarOnline reports.
Peaches’ status as a Scientologist first emerged when she was spotted leaving the Celebrity Center in Los Angeles in the summer of 2009 with Scientology literature in hand, according to Radar.
Peaches revealed she’d been a member for roughly two years.
“I am a Scientologist,” Geldof said. “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 continued, “and it’s something that … 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.
“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.”
Scientology often boasts about their success with treating drug addiction through their Narconon program and related courses.
Geldof was found dead in her Kent apartment on Monday afternoon after police were called over “concern for the welfare of a woman.” The cause of death has not yet been revealed.
