Report: Peaches Geldof dead at the age of 25; ‘unexplained and sudden,’ say police

The BBC is reporting that Peaches Geldof, the daughter of famed musician Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, has died suddenly at the age of 25.

Details are still emerging, but Geldof, who starred as a model, writer, and television personality, died in an ambulance earlier today. According to the BBC:

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.

She left home at sixteen and went on to contribute to the Telegraph and the Guardian, and presented 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.

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

More to come as news becomes public.

Geldof’s last tweet was posted yesterday, and was of her and her mother.
