The daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates was found at her home in Kent. Police were called to the house in Wrotham after concerns were raised about her welfare.

She was later pronounced dead by South East Coast Ambulance Service.

 

Peaches married Cohen, lead singer of the South East London band S.C.U.M on 8 September 2012 at the same church in Davington where her parents married 26 years earlier, and also where her mother's funeral was held in 2000.
Her mother died when she was just 11 years old, of an accidental heroin overdose.
Son Astala celebrates his second birthday on April 21st, while Phaedra will celebrate his first birthday on April 24th, on what would have been the 54th birthday of Geldof's mother Paula Yates.

Peaches and Thomas announced their engagement in December 2011 after a one year courtship.
It was the second marriage for Peaches, who was briefly wed to American musician Max Drummey for six months after tying the knot in Las Vegas following just a few weeks of dating.

Thomas revealed he fell in love with Peaches the first night they spent together, and soon afterwards she told him she'd discovered that through her grandmother she was also Jewish like her husband.
He went out and bought her a Magen David to celebrate - the first present he ever gave her.

The long-haired singer told TotallyJewish.com: 'I knew Peaches for a few years and she was always so much more exciting and amazing than any girl I'd ever known.

The young lovers married in a unique ceremony in the Kent country mansion of the bride’s father Bob and was described by Mrs Cohen as 'a country wedding meets Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and wore three custom made gowns by the Italian designer Alberta Ferretti.
In an interview with Hello magazine, Peaches said at the time: 'I feel her presence all the time but especially today.
'Mum loved family celebrations and she would adore Tom and the fact that we’ve married here. I know she is watching over me and feeling so happy for us.'

Thomas's tribute comes after Peaches father Sir Bob Geldof vowed to keep Thomas and his grandchildren close.
Mr Geldof said in a 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.'
