Subject: Peaches Geldof dies at the age of 25

Written By: Philip Eno on 04/07/14 at 12:37 pm

Peaches Geldof has been found dead at her home at the age of 25, it emerged tonight.

The daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates was found dead at her home in Kent, the BBC reported.

The mum-of-two has previously posted pictures of her children and hubby Thomas Cohen looking the picture of happiness.

In one picture posted on Instagram, Peaches, daughter of Band Aid co-founder Sir Bob Geldof, can be seen cradling her son Phaedra - full name Phaedra Bloom Forever Cohen.

Under the sweet shot, she wrote: "Me and the sickest wid wid."

The proud mum also posted a video of her young son breathing heavily due to a cold.

"Phaedra fell asleep for one hour earlier at 7 and has been up since then!! I am going insane here.

"We are in the dark on the bed with him crawling round all over my face breathing on me with his blocked nose and throat breath! This is what it sounds like... lol," she said.   

Peaches gave birth to her first son Astala in April 2012 and had adorable tot Phaedra the following year in April 2013.

Very sad. I'm sure this gives her father new meaning to "I don't like Mondays."

Her final tweet, posted on Sunday, linked to an Instagram picture of her, as a baby, in her mother's arms.

The caption simply read: "Me and my mum."

Her cause of death has not been announced yet, but the talk in the media is that PND is to blame.

Bob Geldof's statement

Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us.

Writing "was" destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is.

Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken.

Bob, Jeanne, Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Geldof.

A post-mortem examination following the death of Peaches Geldof , who has died at the age of 25, will take place on Wednesday.

...and one speculative press report in the Daily Mirror says that "Dr Chris Steele said bulimia-related vomiting can create toxic levels of potassium in the body that can cause severe heart irregularities or even cardiac arrest".

A post-mortem into the death of Peaches Geldof has proved inconclusive, pending the result of toxicology tests, which will hopefully be available in the next few weeks.

It's unfortunate that her life ended so young.  She and her younger sister Pixie, I don't think, grieved appropriately for their mother.  Their mother died young too.  Only 41 when she passed away on Pixie's birthday.

They say that she was on juicing kick to lose weight quickly.  Maybe she had a heart attack?

Their mother was unbelievably irresponsible and orphaned the daughter she had with Michael Hutchence (who also orphaned the girl by committing suicide) due to her preference for drugs.  Adding insult to injury her dead body was discovered by the same daughter (Tiger Lily) at the age of 4.  It's a sad story for the girls for sure. 

Hopefully Tiger Lily has a strong support system around her, because she got dealt a bad hand when it came to her biological parents.  :-\\

Oh I know.  Bob took control and got emergency custody of his girls and Michael's daughter.  So Bob, Fifi, and Pixie are Tiger's support  system like they were when the children's mother died.
Bob took Tiger in when Michael's father asked him to believing that Paula would have wanted to keep Tiger with her sisters.  I mean it's unfortunate that the first four years of Tiger's life were so tragic losing first her father and then her mother.  But she has a stable home life with Bob and his family.  I read an article that states that Tiger doesn't tell anyone who her mother was simply because she doesn't want to be mistaken as someone who can't be taken seriously.
Only the toxicology tests can prove/disprove any drug use.

You were right Howard.  It was a heroin overdose.  Like mother like daughter.

Heroin is 'likely' to have played a role in the death of Peaches Geldof, an inquest has revealed. The results of a toxicology report showed TV presenter Geldof, who died suddenly last month aged 25, had the drug in her system.

At a brief inquest in Gravesend, Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fotheringham, told the hearing: "Recent use of heroin and the levels identified were likely to have played a role in her death."

It is worth noting that the word 'overdose' is not mentioned at the inquest. This was an initial inquest with the full inquest to take place in July this year.

You don't have to O.D. on heroin for it to kill you.  You can progressively develop endocarditis, pulmonary edema (I think unlikely in Peaches' case), or arrhythmia.  If indeed she did not OD, then my assumption would be a fatal arrhythmia episode.

Yeah.  It make sense.  But the initial autopsy results didn't detect a heart defect.  But her past substance abuse, alcohol and drugs, must have played some role in her death.

The big question now is who supplied the heroin to Peaches? The police are investigating into it.
