Peaches Geldof died of a heroin overdose
THE cause of Peaches Geldof’s tragic death was a heroin overdose.
According to The Times , an inquest into the 25-year-old’s death will be told today that Geldof suffered the same fate as her mother, Paula Yates, who died of a heroin overdose in 2000.
The cause of death comes after the initial autopsy on April 10 proved inconclusive pending the result of toxicology analysis.
The body of the mother-of-two was found on April 7 at the home she shared in Kent, with her husband Tom Cohen, and their two young sons, Astala, 23 months, and 11-month-old Phaedra.
On April 21 celebrity mourners joined friends and family to bid a final farewell to the British model and television presenter at her funeral.
A poignantly decorated coffin which included a picture of her young family carried the 25-year-old’s remains to the private service in the same church where the funeral of her mother Paula Yates was held.
Sir Bob Geldof is thought to have led tributes to his daughter in front of a host of well-known personalities at St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence church in the village of Davington, near Faversham in Kent.
They included Sarah Ferguson, supermodel Kate Moss, Four Weddings and a Funeral screenwriter Richard Curtis, musician and television personality Jools Holland, former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman and BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show presenter Nick Grimshaw.
Peaches’ coffin was painted sky blue, with clouds and flowers along the side and a picture of her family and pets at the back.
Sir Bob Geldof paid tribute to his daughter alongside his partner Jeanne Marine and other daughters, Fifi Trixibelle, Pixie and Tiger, saying she was the “wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us”.
Just days after her death, it was revealed that Peaches’ husband Thomas Cohen tried frantically to call his wife on the day she died.
When she did not answer Cohen, who was in London with their older son Astala, aged 23 months, contacted a friend who went to the house and then called police “concerned for her welfare”.
“It is devastating for Tom that he wasn’t there but it couldn’t have been avoided,” the source close the family told The Sun.
At the time of her death, Geldof was in preliminary talks to join Australia’s Next Top Model.
Foxtel’s director of television Brian Walsh confirmed that preliminary discussions had taken place with Geldof but no contract was ever signed.
“Peaches was one of a number of names suggested but we took the decision that it was too soon to make any calls,” he told Fairfax. “The idea was not progressed beyond an initial stage.”
