TV presenter Peaches Geldof, second daughter of musician Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, has died aged 25.

Police say they were called to an address near Wrotham, Kent following a report of concern for the welfare of a woman on Monday afternoon.

 

The woman, aged 25, was later pronounced dead by South East Coast Ambulance Service.

"At this stage, the death is being treated as unexplained and sudden," said a statement from Kent Police.

Born in 1989, Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof embarked on a media career at the age of 15, when she began writing a column for Elle magazine.

 

She left home at 16 and went on to contribute to the Telegraph and the Guardian, as well as TV shows including ITV2's OMG! with Peaches Geldof.

 

She also worked as a model and, just last week, attended a launch for Tesco's F&F clothing range in London.

 

The writer and presenter was married to musician Thomas Cohen, with whom she had two sons, Astala, one, and Phaedra, who will turn one on 24 April.

Geldof lost her own mother when she was just 11 years old. Paula Yates died of a drug overdose in September 2000.

 

Speaking to Elle Magazine in 2012, Peaches said she had not come to terms with Yates's death for several years.

 

"I remember the day my mother died, and it's still hard to talk about it. I just blocked it out. I went to school the next day because my father's mentality was 'keep calm and carry on'," she said.

 

"So we all went to school and tried to act as if nothing had happened. But it had happened. I didn't grieve. I didn't cry at her funeral. I couldn't express anything because I was just numb to it all. I didn't start grieving for my mother properly until I was maybe 16."

 

Geldof said she had experimented with drugs as a teenager, but was "never that wild".

 

She was previously married to rock musician Max Drummey but the pair separated in 2009 after a six-month marriage.

 

Her last tweet, posted on Sunday was a picture of her as a baby in her mother's arms. She leaves her husband and sons; father Bob Geldof; sisters Fifi Trixibelle and Pixie; and younger half-sister, Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof.

This is so sad, she seemed healthy, definitely something suspect there. Though it could have been something sudden like a brain aneurysm.

Poor Bob as well, he's had his fair share of grief over the years, RIP Peaches Geldof.

And I hope her two sons will be well taken care of, I'm sure they will, though we'll never know what kind of influence she would have had over them. And how they'd turn out differently with her around. RIP.

I just came home and my friends told me about this, very shocking... I knew people who knew her so the ripple will be felt among my friends, just like Amy Winehouse's death in 2011. it's especially upsetting when they're my age or younger. I feel so inexperienced, I can't imagine leaving life at my age. I wasn't her fan and she made me roll my eyes more often than not, but she deserved to live. RIP

Um...I don't really care if my bias dies...In the end of the day we aren't close enough that I would shed tears over him.

Well fine, so you won't shed tears. But don't sit there all high and mighty ridiculing people who will. Celebrities are in a way part of people's lives and there is no shame in being upset about their death.
