London: Jade Goody might be dead but the curtain is not yet down on her short but eventful life with British newspapers dedicating reams of print to analyse the reasons that made her a public hero.

"My beautiful girl has gone... Bye darling," said a headline in Sun. Another said "At Peace on Mother's Day,". Similarly, the headline in Daily Mirror read, "Mummy's in Heaven" while splashing the pictures of her children and her mourning mother.

From a dental nurse to stardom post "Big Brother" in 2002 and her crash down in 2007 for racially abusing Shilpa Shetty on the celebrity edition of Big Brother to her cancer diagnosis, Goody' s life was full of drama and the star willingly invited public to become a part of it.

"It was a peaceful and merciful end for Jade. She deserved that. She was in so much pain and now all that hurt has gone," Sun said paying the tribute to the late star.

Goody's day-to-day battle had dominated the headlines of tabloids for last seven months.

The star reportedly earned over 8 million pounds by selling her story to the media, which is a small fortune for her two sons.

Despite all the frenzy that surrounded her cancer battle, Daily Mail said, "Jade was a unique and very brave girl. But let's not pretend she was a saint".
