POLICE investigating the death of Peaches Geldof found no evidence of hard drugs, no suicide note, and no visible signs of injury, it's been claimed.
Geldof, the daughter of musician Bob Geldof and late TV presenter Paula Yates, died aged 25.
The British TV presenter, writer and socialite was found dead by emergency responders at her home in Kent.
Kent Police have ruled out foul play, but are treating the tragic death as "unexplained and sudden".
The Coroner is looking into whether the young mum died of natural causes, according to The Sun.

There had been fears for her health after pictures showed her alarmingly thin.

Her last public appearance is believed to have been last Thursday at a London Fashion Festival show.
A post-mortem is due today. But a full police investigation into her death is considered unlikely.
A law enforcement source at Kent Police said that paramedics found the married mother-of-two's body after a woman called and said she couldn't reach her.
Geldof was discovered just hours after she posted a photo of herself as a baby with her late mother to Instagram.
On the same day, pictures and video of her two children were also posted on her Instagram page.
A heartbroken Bob Geldof said: "We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us.

"What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?" the Irish singer wrote.
"We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is.
"(Husband) Tom (Cohen) and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken. Bob, Jeanne, Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Geldof."

Geldof is survived by husband Thomas Cohen, the lead singer of S.C.U.M., and their two sons Astala Dylan Willow, 20 months, and Phaedra Bloom Forever, just 10 months.
Tom was seen walking his parents' dog near their home in South East London today.
Wrapped in a long black coat, he was with a man, believed to be his dad, Keith, who said: "We just need some time."
She is also survived by sisters Fifi Trixibelle and Pixie, and half-sister Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof.
Cohen, who Geldof married in 2012, said: "My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra and I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts everyday. We shall love her forever."

The beautiful socialite was the second daughter of the late Paula Yates, who tragically died of a drug overdose in September 2000 when Geldof was just 11.
Yates had been devastated over the death of her partner, INXS frontman Michael Hutchence.
Speaking to Elle Magazine in 2012, Geldof said it took years to come to terms with her mother's death.
"I remember the day my mother died, and it's still hard to talk about it. I just blocked it out. I went to school the next day because my father's mentality was 'keep calm and carry on'," she said.

"So we all went to school and tried to act as if nothing had happened. But it had happened. I didn't grieve. I didn't cry at her funeral. I couldn't express anything because I was just numb to it all. I didn't start grieving for my mother properly until I was maybe 16."
In her last tweet on Sunday, Geldof posted a picture of her as a baby in the arms of Yates, with the caption "Me and my mum".
She also posted videos on Instagram of herself playing peek-a-boo with her sons just one day before her death.
The videos are thought to be the last time her voice was heard in public.
In one called 'peel-a-wid' she plays with her son in the bath.

Geldof spoke in her last interview of how she owed her life to her children and said: "I am not about to let them down, not for anyone or anything."
She said that becoming a mother had healed a "rudderless and troubled" childhood, and that she wanted everyone to know parenthood was "the best thing you've ever done".
The interview, less than a month before her death today, with Mother & Baby magazine was centred on 'attachment parenting' — keeping her two sons with her virtually all the time.
Geldof moved to Brooklyn, New York in 2008 after marrying American musician Max Drummey from the band Chester French. They separated a year later and divorced in 2011.
She married Cohen a year later.
In 2010, Peaches was reportedly involved in a "heroin-fuelled one-night stand" at Hollywood's Scientology Centre.
According to Gawker, a Reddit user identifying himself as Thatcoolguyben wrote in a piece with accompanying semi-nude pictures of Peaches: "At this point in my life I was very into all drugs, as was she. She told me she had a bit of heroin she brought with her from the UK and asked me if I was game."
He claimed that after sleeping together the pair then woke up in a Scientology centre, where fresh convert Peaches had taken them to undergo a detoxification program called Purif.
While Peaches' lawyers denied she attended the Scientologists' 'detox' clinic with the man who claims to have been her lover, she confessed to being a member of the Church of Scientology.
In October 2009, she said: "I've been one for a while now. I was confused about what path to go through and I feel like I needed a spiritual path."
Geldof said she had experimented with drugs as a teenager, but was "never that wild".
Tributes for Geldof poured in on social media.
Celebrity agent Jonathan Shalit told ITV News he "never heard a bad word" about Peaches.
He said that Sir Bob was "one of the most remarkable men alive in Britain today".
Mr Shalit added that it is "beyond unfair" that Sir Bob should have endured such tragedy in his life, referencing the death of Peaches' mother Paula.
Her former publicist Ray Levine told the BBC: "I'll always smile, because she was a very endearing, charming young lady."
