Peaches passed away suddenly at her home in Kent and the cause of her death is not yet known, though it is reportedly not thought to be drug related and police are not treating the death as suspicious.

Peaches leaves behind 23-month-old son Astala and 11-month-old Phaedra and her husband of 2 years, musician Tom Cohen.

Following the death of reality star Jade Goody in 2009, Jeff became the sole guardian of the former couple’s young sons.
