Peaches Geldof's cause of death has been ruled by the coroner to be from a heroin overdose. The confirmation comes 3 months after the model and TV personality was found dead on April 7, 2014, said a report from Us Weekly.
Geldof was 25 years old, and was said to have even posted on her Instagram page several photos of her sons just 19 minutes before dying, said Hollywood Life.
In an inquest held in Kent, England, pathologist Peter Jerreat revealed that Peaches Gedolf's cause of death was due to the "fatal range" of heroin in her system, which also had traces of methadone, codeine, and morphine. Gedolf's body also had puncture wounds on her elbows, thumbs, and wrists.
BBC has also reported that the heroin found in the body of musician Bob Geldof's daughter was an "importation quality" drug. Street-marketed heroin commonly has 26 percent purity, while the high-grade drug ruled as Peaches Geldof cause of death reached a purity of 61 percent.
Peaches Geldof's cause of death is the same as her mother's, Paula Yates, who in 2000 also died of a heroin overdose.
Geldof's father, who is the former frontman of The Boomtown Rats, described his daughter as the "wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us".
Geldof's dead body was discovered in her home by her husband, rocker Thomas Cohen. The two got married in September 2012 and have 2 sons - 23-months-old Astala and 11-months-old Phaedra.
The S.C.U.M. lead singer had gone home to check on his wife after being unable to reach her while out of town, and found her dead on their spare bedroom which Cohen says they "both use when the kids were sleeping".
Also found in the scene were 34 medical syringes, alcohol wipes, cotton buds, knotted tights, and burnt spoons.
Cohen added that his wife had been in treatment for two years to fight addiction. The treatment included taking weekly drug tests, but Cohen now believes Geldof was lying to him about the tests being clean.
"By November last year she had ceased to take heroin as a result of the considerable treatment and counseling that she had received," said coroner Roger Hatch said in a report to the BBC. "This was a significant achievement for her but for reasons we will never know prior to her death she returned to taking heroin."
