Authorities have confirmed that heroin "likely played a role" in Peaches Geldolf's tragic death.
According to an inquest, the 25-year-old TV presenter and model had the drug in her system at the time of her death, ABC News reported.

Geldof's mother Paula Yates also died from a heroin overdose in 2000 when Peaches was just 11 years old.
