Peaches Geldof’s death likely linked to heroin, inquest hears

GRAVESEND Kent (Reuters) - Heroin probably played a role in the death of Peaches Geldof, the daughter of musician and Band Aid founder Bob Geldof, who died in her family home last month while alone with one of her two young sons, police said on Thursday.

A post-mortem examination failed to establish the cause of her death on April 7 but an inquest was told on Thursday that forensic tests found heroin in the 25-year-old’s system.

Her death brought back memories of that of her mother, television presenter Paula Yates, who died of a heroin overdose aged 41 in 2000 while alone with her youngest daughter, Tiger Lily, then aged four.

“There was recent use of heroin and the levels identified were likely to have played a role in her death,” Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fotheringham said in a statement at the opening of the inquest into Geldof’s death.

I HATE HATE HATE it that I was right about this. I can’t fucking stand it.
If I find out it’s the same stuff that killed PSH I’m gonna scream.

why would someone “cut” smack with fentanyl?!?!

it’s a recipe for breathing to stop.
