"British fashion and TV personality Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof the daughter of world-famous musician Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates died today at the age of 25. Her death is being treated as sudden and unexpected as officers continue to work to establish the circumstances around her death."
Peaches, was just 11 when her mother, television presenter Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose at the age of 41 in 2000. She leaves behind a husband, Thomas Cohen, and two sons, 20 month old Astala Dylan Willow and 10 month old Phaedra Bloom Forever who was born on April 24th, the same day as Peaches' late mother, Paula.
Sir Bob Geldof released the following 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......."
Peaches also leaves behind her siblings, Fifi Trixibelle Geldof, Pixie Geldof and half-sister, Tiger Lily Hutchence-Geldof.
In her last Twitter message to her 190,000 followers on Sunday, Peaches posted a photograph of her as a baby being held by her mother, with the words, "Me and my mum".
Her last two instagram posts were two extremely adorable videos of her son while she gave him a bath & prepped him for bed. Click here to watch. (***The video as well as her instagram page was removed as of yesterday, April 9th)
I often read about Peaches in the fashion and society section of newspapers and magazines. One can't help but feel hurt and shock upon hearing this tragic news.
These instances always make me reflect on how short and fragile life truly is.
RIP, Peaches.
