Peaches Geldof: Writer and TV presenter dies aged 25

[lola 6,650]

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 an accidental drug overdose in September 2000. In September 2012 Geldof said she did not come to terms with her mother's death for several years.

Bob Geldof said: "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."

 

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.

Police say a post-mortem on Peaches Geldof has proved inconclusive, and toxicology tests will be conducted in an attempt to determine cause of death.

The 25-year-old daughter of musician and campaigner Bob Geldof was found dead at her home in Kent on Monday.

Police said at the time that her death was being treated as "non-suspicious but unexplained and sudden".

The toxicology tests could take "several weeks" to come through, police said on Wednesday.

"Officers continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death in order to compile a report for the coroner," they added in a statement.

Kent County Council has said it will make "a decision on whether there needs to be an inquest" based on the final results of the post-mortem.
