Peaches was found dead on bed by her husband

The husband of Peaches Geldof found her slumped dead on a bed at their family home after she had recently taken heroin, an inquest has heard.

The 25-year-old had one leg hanging down to the floor and the other tucked underneath her in a spare bedroom in Wrotham, Kent, on April 7.

At the opening of the inquest into Peaches’ death in Gravesend, Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fotheringham said recent heroin use “was likely to have played a role” in her death.
