Peaches Geldof died of a heroin overdose just like her tragic mum Paula Yates, it was reported on Wednesday night.
The claims came as an inquest into the tragic death of the mother-of-two death was due to open on Thursday afternoon.
The model and TV presenter was found dead while caring for her 11-month-old son Phaedra on her own at the family home on April 7.
Her death was described by police as ‘non-suspicious’ and ‘unexplained’ at the time and a post-mortem examination two days later proved inconclusive.
Police investigating the model’s death found no evidence of drugs paraphernalia in the £1million house in Wrotham, Kent.
Officers used sniffer dogs during the search and examined rubbish bags.
However, The Times reported on Wednesday that items may have been removed before the property was searched.
A spokesman for the Geldof family said they were not commenting at this stage.
It is not known who may have supplied the young mum with drugs.
Hours before she died Peaches posted a photo online of herself with mum Paula Yates, who died of an accidental heroin overdose aged 41 when Peaches was just 11.
Peaches, 25, admitted to experimenting with drugs in the past and was often labelled as a ‘wild child’.
There were reports that she had to be revived after collapsing from an overdose in 2008 at her home in north London.
There was speculation she might have accidentally overdosed because her body was not as tolerant to the quantities of heroin she had previously taken.
Later Peaches transformed from socialite to doting mum after marrying her second husband, 23-year-old musician Tom Cohen, in 2012.
Thursday's brief inquest hearing, expected to last just 10 minutes, will be held in Gravesend, Kent.
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fotheringham is due to read a statement about Ms Geldof’s death before coroner Roger Hatch officially reveals her cause of death.
Mr Hatch waited for results of the toxicology tests to determine if Peaches had died of an overdose before deciding to open an inquest.
A full inquest is now due to be held in late July.
Peaches’ funeral was held at the same church as her mother’s with stars including Kate Moss, Jools Holland and Bill Wyman among the mourners.
