Peaches Geldof's funeral takes place in Kent
 
Quote:

Peaches Geldof's funeral took place in Kent today (April 21).

Family and friends of the late star attended a service at St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence Church in Davington, near Faversham.

The streets near the church, which is situated next to Sir Bob Geldof's Davington Priory country estate, were lined with people wishing to pay their final respects to the 25-year-old.

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York attended the service, alongside the likes of broadcaster Mariella Frostrup, Kate Moss and actress Trudie Styler.

Jools Holland, former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman, actress Jaime Winstone, TV presenter Alexa Chung and Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw were also seen in attendance.

Bob and Pixie Geldof are thought to have given eulogies during the service, which took place at the same church where Peaches married husband Thomas Cohen in 2012.

Geldof was pronounced dead at her home in Kent after authorities received a report of concern for a woman's welfare on the afternoon of April 7.

Kent police confirmed that a post-mortem into the death proved inconclusive pending toxicology results. They maintain that the death is being treated as "non-suspicious, unexplained" and "sudden".

Geldof spoke movingly about her "perfect" life with her two children - Astala Dylan Willow, 23 months, and Phaedra Bloom Forever, 11 months - in her final column for Mother & Baby magazine, which was published shortly after her passing.

I'm confused. If her death was "unexplained and sudden", and the post-mortem results were "inconclusive" how come they've allowed her to be buried/cremated before the tox results are back? Sounds odd to me.

Could be they know she committed suicide and don't want that publicized for her families sake?

Yes,I wondered this too,surely they would need to keep doing tests to find out the cause of death.

i was thinking exactly this, her committing suicide would be kinda strange though considering her saying her life was 'perfect' in the last article she wrote before she died?

Hmmm... I don't like it. They used the word "unexplained". What happens if she's cremated and then the tox results don't turn up anything. It all sounds rather odd to me.

Who really knows though? If she was suffering from depression she could have been putting up a front or trying to "fake it till you make it" type thing?

Exactly.

Which is why I think that maybe they're just saying that for her families sake, I doubt if there was a thought that it could be suspicious they wouldn't cremate her just yet, especially when it's a high profile person like her

Yeah, when we lost my grandfather recently, it took 2 weeks before they would allow us to hold his funeral because the coroner couldn't decide if they wanted to do an inquest....they would not issue the death certificate until the were satisfied his death was due to a fall he had in hospital. He was 96 and in failing health and we still had to wait....I would imagine they know more than has been released to the press.

i didn't think of that, you're probably right!

It's going to be a case of public record, they can't soft soap it because she's famous. Like Annie said, mere mortals have to wait to bury their loved ones if there is a question at all. I had to wait four weeks with my husband. If they really are making an exception to benefit someone who made her whole career out of courting the press, then there will be some questions to answer.

Nedusa 22-04-2014 04:21 PM

Is it me or are there not big questions here still unanswered, like HOW DID SHE DIE, I mean she was only 25 and did not having any medical problems and was not suffering from any illnesses.

So what did she die of ?

And when is this "Toxicology Report" going to be made public AND why are they burying her before the cause of death is established.

The whole thing looks very suspicious, Drug overdose/suicide perhaps ??

smudgie 22-04-2014 04:26 PM

I should imagine that if nothing shows up in the toxicology tests her death will be put down to sudden death syndrome.
As the coroner has released her body then all other tests must have been done and found inconclusive.
Perhaps her being famous allowed her to jump the queue..who knows?
Perhaps they are having a quiet week.

1 she is dead and has ceased to exist so she cant rest in peace whatever superstitious claptrap that actually relates to. :nono:

2. she made a good living out of having famous parents and that living was made from people being interested in her life so people will naturally be interested in her death and what caused it. In general people are interested in why a young girl can suddenly die. many people are her age and many people are young mums.

Odd that they've buried her before they know the cause of death - can only assume they do know but aren't releasing it to the public because it's unsavoury for her family.

Finding out that she was addicted to heroin or something. You know what I mean.

The cause of Peaches Geldof's sudden death will be released in an inquest next week.

The mother of two was found dead at her home in Kent on April 7 with her son Phaedra playing by her side.

The cause of the 25-year-old's death remains a mystery after her autopsy came back inconclusive. Toxicology tests have been conducted to try to establish why she died.

A brief hearing will be held in Gravesend on Thursday (1 May).

A senior police officer will read a statement about Ms Geldof's death before the coroner, Roger Hatch, reveals the cause of death.



A full inquest is expected to be held in late July.

Kent Police previously said they were treating the death of the daughter of Sir Bob Geldof as "unexplained" but "non-suspicious".

Her funeral was held at the same church as her mother Paula Yates' funeral, with celebrity friends including Kate Moss, Jools Holland and Bill Wyman among the mourners.

Ms Geldof, who had two young children with her second husband, musician Tom Cohen, died a day after posting a picture of her and her mother online.
