Peaches Geldof dies at age 25

Peaches Geldof, the “wild child” daughter of activist rocker Bob Geldof, was found dead at age 25 at her home in England on Monday — just a day after posting a photo of herself with her late mom, who died of an accidental overdose.

British cops said foul play wasn’t suspected in the stunning socialite’s “unexplained and sudden death,” and an autopsy was pending.

Police who searched Peaches’ five-bedroom home Monday night found no hard drugs, no suicide note and no visible signs of injury, The Sun reported.

And police said her death was “being treated as non-suspicious.”

The rocker’s daughter had sparked fears about her health in 2011 when she had a dramatic weight loss after consuming nothing but vegetable juice over several weeks — a regimen that an expert at the time said could lead to acute cardiac arrest.

“I do juicing. You juice vegetables and then you drink it three times a day. It’s gross. I do it usually for about a month,” she told OK! magazine at the time.

She said she would lose about 10 pounds a month when juicing, and that she worried about her weight.

“I have days when I wake up and think, ‘I’m so fat,’” she said.

In response at the time, a spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association called such diets “very dangerous” and said, “Peaches is at high risk of electrolyte abnormalities which could lead to acute cardiac arrest. It is what kills anorexics.”

But Peaches reassured her worried fans.

“To those telling me I look skinny and to eat something, I can assure you I’ve just cut out eating crap. I still eat like a horse,” she said.

Meanwhile, Fifi Geldof paid tribute to her “beautiful baby sister.”

Bob Geldof’s eldest daughter wrote on Instagram that she was heartbroken over the death.

Fifi, 31, shared an old family picture of herself and Peaches as children and captioned it: “My beautiful baby sister … Gone but never forgotten. I love you, Peaches.”

Bob Geldof released an emotional statement Monday saying: “Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us.”

“Writing ‘was’ destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?” he wrote.

The famed “Band Aid” and “Live Aid” organizer added: “We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is.”

Geldof also said that Peaches’ musician hubby, Tom Cohen, “and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken” — an apparent reference to the 2000 heroin death of ex-wife Paula Yates and the earlier suicide of her boyfriend, INXS singer Michael Hutchence.

The statement bore the names of Geldof, girlfriend Jeanne Marine, daughters Fifi Trixibelle and Pixie, and Yates’ daughter with Hutchence, Tiger Lily, whom Geldof adopted.

According to the BBC, Kent police said cops went to Peaches’ secluded home in the village of Wrotham, about an hour southeast of London, at 1:35 p.m. British time “following a report of concern for the welfare of a woman.”

Peaches was declared dead at the scene by ambulance workers.
