'Peaches is dead. We are beyond pain' – Bob Geldof

PEACHES Geldof posted a poignant online image of herself as a child in her late mother's arms just hours before she was found dead at her home.

In a tragedy that echoes her mother Paula Yates's premature death 14 years ago, the middle daughter of Bob Geldof died at just 25 years of age.

Police were called to her home in Wrotham, Kent, around lunchtime after the alarm was raised by a concerned relative.

Officers and paramedics who entered the secluded rural property set in woodland were unable to revive her, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her death is the latest tragedy to befall the Geldof family, which was devastated in September 2000 when Paula Yates, the mother of Fifi, Pixie, Tiger and Peaches, was found dead at her London home following a heroin overdose.

Ms Yates, who was 41, had herself never fully recovered from the apparent suicide in 1997 of her lover Michael Hutchence, the lead singer of the Australian band INXS.

The death of Peaches means that her half-sister Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, at the age of 17, has lost her elder sister, as well as dad Michael Hutchence and her mum Paula Yates.
