Peaches Geldof reportedly opened up about the pressures of being a celebrity in what is believed to have been the last interview before her death, in which she is said to have claimed that people expect her "to die like my mother."
The 25-year-old was found dead at her Wrotham, Kent home on April 7, leaving behind her two sons, Phaedra and Astala, and husband Tom Cohen. Police have revealed that heroin is likely to have played a part in her untimely death.

Now, almost three months later, extracts from what is reported to have been the last interview she gave before she died, Peaches is said to have spoken about what it is like to live under the spotlight and mentioned the tragic death of her mother, Paula Yates, in an ironic and unknowing foretelling.
"I'm young, but people all know the same information about me. That's the worst thing, the preconceptions," Peaches reportedly said in an interview with The Spectator.
"I'm going to die like my mother, she's going to end up like her mother. The worst thing is shaking someone's hand and realising full well they have a completely preconceived notion of who you are."
"They know your whole life! And you know nothing about them. It's an imbalance that's frightening," Peaches continued. "Suddenly I was this earth mother."
She added: "It was an overnight transformation. It was so profoundly hateful. Then, out of nowhere, it was, 'Dang. We can't hate you anymore. Here she is in her golden hair, etc.'"
An autopsy into Peaches' death was ruled inconclusive, but it was revealed in an inquest hearing last month that heroin was "likely" to have played a part in her passing. The remainder of the inquest is set to reopen next month.
