'She was a very charming young lady'

Peaches Geldof, second daughter of musician Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates, has died aged 25, leaving a husband and two sons.

"We are beyond pain," said her father, confirming her death. "She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us."

Police, who were called to an address in Kent around lunchtime on Monday, say the death is currently being treated as "unexplained and sudden".

Geldof was 11 when her own mother died.

TV presenter Yates died of a drug overdose in September 2000. In September 2012 Geldof said she had not been able to come to terms with her mother's death for several years.

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 father Bob Geldof said in a statement: "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."

In a statement, Kent Police said: "Police were called at 13:35 BST on 7 April, 2014 to an address near Wrotham following a report of concern for the welfare of a woman.

"A woman aged 25 was pronounced dead by South East Coast Ambulance Service.

"Officers are working to establish the circumstances around the death."

This sounds a bit cunty , I didn't even know what she did . People on the radio this morning were making outrageous claims of her genius but it all seemed over the top to me .
Some poor fella has lost his daughter and that's a terrible thing but the press can fuck off with all the platitudes .

Yeah. She was a model or something. Her job was to stand and look pretty while speaking semi-coherently. That's not genius...

Well, you know, Bob is part of the Illuminati so his daughter was sacrificed or something.

I need to stop reading conspiracy sites.

Now Bob has another good reason to not like Mondays, I suppose.

Sorry.... probably shouldn't attempt dark humor before the caffeine kicks in.

I saw her a total of twice on TV interviewing and being interviewed but my impression was she was a fucking nightmare beyond belief, a vacuous idiot hole of Kardashian proportions.

But like all the shitheads writing pages of eulogies about her I didn't know her...

I've seen here face before, but I have no idea who she is...or was...

Celebrity deaths don't interest me any more than celebrity lives do...

Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, to be exact.

Let's not forget that Geldof and Yates' first daughter is named Fifi Trixibelle.

A coroner's inquest on Thursday morning will show that Peaches Geldof died from a heroin overdose, The Times of London is reporting.

The British TV presenter, 25, the daughter of Irish rocker and LiveAid organizer Bob Geldof, was found dead at her home near London on April 7. Her youngest son, Phaedra, then 11-months-old, was at her side. Initial autopsy and toxicology reports were inconclusive.
Prior to her death, Peaches Geldof "had become increasingly obsessed with the death of her mother, Paula Yates, from a heroin overdose in 2000," according to The Times.
Geldof was married to musician Thomas Cohen. They have two young sons, Astala, who turned 2 on April 21, and Phaedra, who turned 1 on April 24.
