Peaches Geldof postmortem ‘inconclusive’

The initial stages of a postmortem on the body of Peaches Geldof (25), who died suddenly on Monday at her home, have proved "inconclusive", according to Kent police.

Toxicology analysis, which could take several weeks, is now under way after Peter Graham Jerreat, a Home Office (interior ministry) forensic pathologist, began the examination at Darent Valley hospital in Dartford.

Detectives have been treating the sudden death of the model and journalist as “unexplained” but “non-suspicious”.

They have declined to confirm or deny reports that no drugs or suicide note were found at the home.

Geldof was a married mother of two boys approaching their first and second birthdays. In a piece in Mother and Baby magazine which went on sale on Wednesday, she wrote that she had found "bliss" in family life and described herself as "happier than ever".

Kent police said in a statement yesterday: “A postmortem examination held on Wednesday 9th April following the death of Peaches Geldof has proved inconclusive pending the result of toxicology analysis. Officers were called to the 25-year-old’s home in Fairseat Lane, Wrotham, at 1.35pm on Monday, 7th April 2014.

"Peaches was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death in order to compile a report for the coroner. The result of a toxicology report can take several weeks." – ( Guardian service)
