LONDON - British police say they are investigating the unexplained death of Peaches Geldof and will hand their findings to a coroner.

A post-mortem will be performed in the next few days on 25-year-old Geldof, who was found dead at her home in Wrotham, southeast of London, on Monday.

Kent Police said Tuesday that officers were investigating the "unexplained sudden death," but did not consider it suspicious.

The daughter of Irish musician Bob Geldof and TV presenter Paula Yates — who died of a drug overdose in 2000 — Peaches Geldof grew up in the glare of Britain's press, which reveled in the late-night antics of her teenage years.

More recently she married for a second time, to musician Tom Cohen, had two children and worked as a broadcaster and writer.
