More evidence comes to light in the case of Peaches Geldof's timely death that was caused by a heroin overdose. Police now believe that a syringe that contained the deadly dose of drugs was moved from the bed to a nearby drawer.

This is a weird development in the case, especially since police have stated at the time of her death that there was no sign of drugs in the house. It was one of the reasons why her death was treated as an accident, but it was later confirmed by the autopsy that it was due to a drug overdose.

Now the police are saying that they found a hypodermic needle and syringe in the drawer of Peaches' house in Wrotham, Kent. Her body was discovered by her 23-year-old husband, Tom Cohen, who called the police when he came upon her body slumped on the bed of their multi-million property.

It was later reported that, at the time of her death, her 11-month old son Phaedra was also in the house when she died.

An insider with the investigation told The Sun that “The needle is believed to have been moved from the bed where her body was found and put in a drawer. This was not a cover-up. It was apparently done because it was such a harrowing thing to see and there were young children in the house.”

While that does explain why such an important piece of evidence would be moved from the scene, it does not explain why it was not presented to police officers involved in the investigation. Some would view that as suspicious, but the source assured us Tom was “not in any way under suspicion.”

Immediately after Peaches died, there were several theories floating around in the media about what may have caused her death. One was that her drastic diet, which had caused her to drop in weight significantly, finally took its toll on her then frail body. Another had her cause of death linked with a black magic cult she had just joined.

In the end, the autopsy showed that she died of a heroin overdose, and an inquest into her case will determine who is at blame for her death. The investigation has been open but has been postponed until July. Until then, police are going to gather more evidence and question more people until they give the final verdict as heroin being the sole culprit in her death.
