Peaches did not intend to take her own life, an inquest revealed today.
The mother-of-two, who died at the age of 25 back in April, had been taking substitute drug methadone in the two-and-a-half years before her untimely demise.
Peaches' widower Thomas Cohen - the father of her sons Astala, two, and 15-month-old Phaedra - told the inquest today (23.07.14) his wife had started taking heroin again in February and the drugs were of high purity.
Thomas also revealed how he witnessed Peaches trying to flush drugs down the toilet at their home in Wrotham, Kent, South East England. He had asked if there were drugs in the house and she reportedly went to the loft to retrieve them.
According to evidence presented at the inquest, held in Gravesend Old Town Hall in Kent, Peaches' body had become intolerant to heroin after she successfully overcame a past addiction, so the high purity of the drugs she was taking had a fatal effect.
Thomas confirmed he had taken his eldest son to stay with his parents on the weekend of Peaches' death and said she seemed fine when he spoke to her on the phone. The rocker became concerned when he couldn't reach his wife by phone and found her body the next day, April 7th, slumped on a bed. Their 15-month-old was at the scene.
The inquest also heard drug paraphernalia was found in a box in the room where Peaches' body was found and a post-mortem examination discovered puncture marks on her body.
Initially it had been reported that "police found no drugs, suicide note, or visible signs of injury"
