Results Of Toxicology Tests Show Peaches Geldof Died From Heroin Overdose
Peaches Geldof died from an overdose of heroin – the same drug that killed her mother Paula Yates - an inquest will reportedly be told today.
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, Det Ch Insp Paul Fotheringham, told the hearing: "Recent use of heroin and the levels identified were likely to have played a role in her death."
Police said they found no drug paraphernalia near her body when it discovered at her home in Wrotham Kent on April 7 and it is not known who supplied the drugs.

Peaches Was 11 Years Old When Her Own Mother, TV Presenter Paula Yates, Died From A Drug Overdose
Peaches, who celebrated her 25th birthday last month, was only a child when her mother Paula Yates died on her sister's 10th birthday from a "foolish and incautious" heroin overdose.
Speaking to Elle Magazine in 2012, Geldof said it took years to come to terms with her mother’s death, “I remember the day my mother died, and it’s still hard to talk about it. I just blocked it out. I went to school the next day because my father’s mentality was ‘keep calm and carry on’,” she said.

“So we all went to school and tried to act as if nothing had happened. But it had happened. I didn’t grieve. I didn’t cry at her funeral. I couldn’t express anything because I was just numb to it all. I didn’t start grieving for my mother properly until I was maybe 16.”
