Sir Bob Geldof’s troubled daughter Peaches had a suspected drug overdose on Sunday. Ironically Peache’s mother, British TV presenter Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose in 2000 at the age of 41.
19-year-old Peaches was reportedly found lying unconscious in her north London flat by a friend who administered emergency CPR and called emergency services. Peaches apparently refused to go to hospital for a medical examination - because she was terrified her rocker father finding out about this new drug scare.
A source tells the UK Sun, “Peaches could not breathe for several minutes after suffering a respiratory arrest. “If she had not received this she could have died or she could have suffered brain damage. Peaches had gone into respiratory arrest, in which a patient’s breathing stops but heart doesn’t.” A spokesperson for London Ambulance confirms its crews attended the scene.
Earlier this year, Peaches hit the headlines after she was caught on tape reportedly buying drugs. She escaped police charges because of a lack of evidence.
