The cause of Peaches Geldof's tragic death Monday has yet to be determined.

Kent Police issued a statement that the 25-year-old's passing "is not being treated as suspicious" and the local coroner has been informed. A post mortem (autopsy) is expected to be carried out in the next few days in order to hopefully pinpoint an exact cause of death for the mother of two.

The late model-writer-socialite was remembered by older sister Fifi Geldof with a touching childhood photo posted to Instagram. "My beautiful baby sister... Gone but never forgotten," she wrote," I love you, Peaches x."

Peaches is survived by Fifi, sons Astala and Phaedra, husband Thomas Cohen, younger sister Pixie and younger half-sister Tiger Lily. Her father, musician Sir Bob Geldof, released a statement on behalf of the family:"We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?"

He added, "We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is. Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken."

Peaches, was just 11 when she lost her mother, rock journalist Paula Yates, to a heroin overdose in 2000. One of her final Instagram posts was a sweet vintage snap of the two, captioned simply, "Me and my mum."

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones.
