One day in 1998, Paula Yates was asked about her future goals. Yates' reply? "To stay alive for another year."

[In November 2000, an inquest deemed Yates' tragic death to have been caused by "non-dependent abuse of heroin". Bob Geldof (her ex-husband) was given temporary care of her orphaned daughter -- Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily -- after she was made a ward of court.]

[In 2002, the Notting Hill home in which Yates was found dead was purchased by a property investment firm -- just three minutes after going on sale on Winkworth's website. The speed, someone joked, worked out to three minutes per bedroom.]
