Peaches Geldof Cause of Death Unknown; Family Waits for More Test Results
The family of Peaches Geldof is still seeking answers to their questions surrounding her untimely death. An autopsy was inconclusive and now the family must wait on toxicology tests before possibly finding closure. If the toxicology report is inconclusive, an inquest could be launched in order to find out just why the 25-year-old mother of two died.
The official autopsy was labeled "inconclusive" by the coroner, which means there was not enough information to make a determination of cause of death. Blood samples have been sent off to labs for drug testing as well as other tests to see if they will provide any information about why Peaches died. She was found dead in her home in Kent on Monday, after police were called with people concerned about her welfare.
"Peaches has died," her father, Bob Geldof announced. "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."
Son Astala was born in April 2012 and Phaedra was born exactly one year later. Peaches was married to Tom Cohen, who told the Mirror that he adored his wife and will "bring them [the children] up with their mother in their hearts every day. We shall love her forever."
Peaches lost her mother, Paula Yates, to a drug overdose in 2000. It was something she kept silent about for many years and tried to deal with on her own. She found happiness later in life, with her husband and her two children.
"I had the perfect life," she wrote for Elle Magazine in her last column, "two beautiful babies who loved me more than anything. It was, and is, bliss. Happier than ever … I've achieved a sort of perfect balance. Right now life is good. And being a mum is the best part of it."
