Peaches Geldof's son was with her

Peaches Geldof's son Phaedra, 11 months, was with her when she died, but her husband Thomas Cohen and their eldest child Astala, 23 months, were away.

Peaches Geldof's youngest son was with her when she died.

The 25-year-old star's husband Thomas Cohen - who had spent a night away with eldest child Astala, 23 months - asked a friend to check on her at their home in Wrotham, Kent, South East England, when his wife failed to answer her phone on Monday, and her body was found with 11-month-old Phaedra playing nearby.

A source said: "The hope is that Phaedra is so young he wasn't aware of what was going on. The most important thing is that he's OK.

"It is devastating for Tom that he wasn't there but it couldn't have been avoided."

Peaches was an advocate of attachment parenting, meaning she was rarely without her young son by her side, and insiders hope her family will take "comfort" from the fact she didn't die alone.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Phaedra was by her side most of the time, even when she was sleeping. At the very least, there can be some comfort that she wasn't by herself when she died."

When Peaches' own mother Paula Yates was found dead at her London home in 2000, her baby daughter Tiger Lily, now 17, was found playing near her mum's body.

Yesterday, the presenter's father Bob Geldof was seen visiting her home, where he was greeted by Tom's parents Keith and Susan. The two men spent 20 minutes talking in the garden before the rocker entered the house, leaving two hours later with some of his daughter's belongings.

Peaches' body has now been released by coroners so plans for her funeral can be made.

Her cause of death remains unexplained.

Peaches Geldof's body released to family

The remains of the 25-year-old TV personality, who was found dead at her home in Kent, South East England, on Monday, have been released to her loved-ones to allow for funeral arrangements to commence.

A spokesman for North West Kent coroner Roger Hatch said: "We can confirm that the body has been released to the family for funeral arrangements to be made."

Peaches is expected to be laid to rest at the country church of St Mary Magdalene in Kent, South East England, where her late mother Paula Yates was buried in 2000.

The blonde beauty - who leaves behind her husband Thomas Cohen and their sons Astala, 23 months, and Phaedra, 11 months - was also married and christened at the church.

A source said previously: "The church holds the most bittersweet of memories for the Geldof family. They have had the best of times and the worst of times in that churchyard."

A post-mortem carried out yesterday (09.04.14) proved to be "inconclusive" and her family - including sisters Fifi, 31, Pixie, 23, and Tiger-Lily, 17 - will now have an agonising wait for a toxicology report, which could take up to several weeks.

Police have so far described her tragic death as "sudden and unexplained", but non-suspicious as there were no drugs or a suicide note found at her home.

A decision on whether an inquest should be held will depend on the results of the examination.
