14 DAY TRIAL // Peaches Geldof's family and friends are still struggling to come to terms with the fact that she succumbed to a heroin overdose in April this year, after she was found dead in her home while tending her 11-month-old son.
Now that the police investigation has been concluded and her relapsing addiction to heroin revealed, new evidence comes to life to showcase her lifelong struggles and battles with the dangerous drug.
In a weird development, it has emerged today that Peaches had penned an oath that she would not die as a result of her drug addiction and wrote it using her own blood in Pete Doherty's journals.
The former Libertines singer has just published his collection of diaries in the form of a book called “From Albion to Shangri-La” which charts his life experiences between the years of 2008 and 2013 and is described as more than 200 pages of drug-induced literature.
Among them, we can also find Peaches' name and phone number written in what looks very much like her blood with the aid of a syringe. Apart from the gruesome method of delivering her credentials, the TV personality also added a chilling message, especially in the light of her timely demise.
“I solemnly swear I am not going to die,” reads the message written just under her name. It's not clear if Peaches herself wrote it as a vow that she wasn't going her addiction to kill her, or it was Pete Doherty who wrote it, as a promise that he was going to help Peaches overcome her drug issues.
The message was written when Peaches was just 19, so she was not married at the time, nor had she given birth to her children. The editor of the book claims that the message was written after Peaches overdosed in a nightclub.
In the meantime, police are narrowing down their circle of suspects, trying to find the person or persons who sold Peaches the deadly batch of cocaine that killed her. During the investigation, it was revealed that Peaches died because the heroin she had injected was three time more potent that regular street drugs are.
Also, because Peaches had just relapsed from a period of abstinence, investigators concluded that her body had become less resistant to the effects of the drug. These two things put together would turn out to be fatal for the mother of two.
Now police have a circle of suspects based on Peaches' last days and the accounts of friends and family. Her husband Thomas Cohen has been excluded from the investigation after police concluded that he was “in any way under suspicion of any involvement.”
