Peaches Geldof inquiry fails to find supplier of deadly dose of heroin, police say

British police say they have closed an investigation into who supplied Peaches Geldof with the heroin that killed her.

The 25-year-old TV personality, daughter of Live Aid organizer Bob Geldof, was found dead on April 7, 2014 at her home outside London.

Police discovered heroin and syringes in the house, and a coroner ruled that Geldof had died from a heroin overdose after relapsing from a battle to give up the drug.

Police said Friday that they had "exhausted all lines of inquiry" into who had supplied the drugs.

Detective Superintendent Paul Fotheringham of Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate said detectives would review the case if new evidence emerged.

Peaches was married twice -- her first, to Max Drummey, vocalist with U.S. indie rock band Chester French - lasted only six months and ended in 2009. She leaves behind two sons and her second husband, musician Tom Cohen. The boys are 23 months and 11 months old.

Geldof's mother, Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose in 2000, when Peaches was 11.
