British police ended its investigation into Peaches Geldof’s death saying that the drug dealer who supplied the TV presenter and mother-of-two with the heroin that killed her may never be known.

Peaches Geldof died from an overdose at her home in Kent, UK, in April 2014. She was 25.

Bob Geldof’s daughter had been a heroin addict and took the substitute drug methadone for two years before her death.

Detectives said they had “exhausted all lines of inquiry” trying to find out who supplied her with the Class A drug.

Detective Superintendent Paul Fotheringham said the case would be reviewed if further information or witnesses came forward.

“I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Peaches’ family who have supported our inquiries during what has been a difficult time,” he added.

A police search of her home at the time of her death found 6.9g of heroin but there was no indication she had planned to take her own life, an inquest last year heard.

Peaches Geldof’s husband, Tom Cohen, told the hearing she started using the drug again in February 2014.

The musician, who had been away for the weekend with the eldest of their two sons, said he became concerned when she failed to answer her phone and found his wife slumped on the bed upon his return.

Coroner Roger Hatch said Peaches Geldof’s death had been “drugs related” and expressed his deep sympathy to her family.

Peaches Geldof’s mother, Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose at the age of 41 when Peaches was 11 years old.

Peaches Geldof autopsy has proved inconclusive, and toxicology tests will be conducted in an attempt to determine cause of death, police say.

Peaches Geldof, 25, daughter of musician and campaigner Bob Geldof, was found dead at her home in Kent on Monday.

Police said at the time that her death was being treated as “non-suspicious but unexplained and sudden”.

The toxicology tests could take “several weeks” to come through, police said on Wednesday.

“Officers continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death in order to compile a report for the coroner,” they added in a statement.

Kent County Council has said it will make “a decision on whether there needs to be an inquest” based on the final results of the autopsy.

Officers had been called to the home Peaches Geldof shared with her husband, singer Thomas Cohen, and their two young children following “a report of concern for the welfare of a woman”. Peaches Geldof was pronounced dead at the scene.

The news of her death was met by shock and grief from friends and family.

Peaches Geldof was 11 when her own mother died.

TV presenter Paula Yates died of a drug overdose in September 2000. In September 2012 Peaches Geldof said she had not been able to come to terms with her mother’s death for several years.

Her final tweet on Sunday was a picture of her as a child in her mother’s arms, with the message: “Me and my mum.”

Peaches Geldof’s last column for Mother and Baby magazine was published posthumously on Tuesday.
