Peaches Geldof Heroin Overdose

PEACHES Geldof's dramatic 999 collapse was caused by an overdose of HEROIN—the drug that killed her mum Paula Yates, we can reveal.

The off-the-rails teenager is thought to have been experimenting with the deadly drug for the FIRST time.

It is believed she did not inject heroin—one of the most dangerous ways of taking it—but heated and inhaled it through a rolled-up bank note.

Friends feared she was following the same path as tragic TV star Paula, who died in 2000 aged 41.

But Peaches, 19, has told them last Sunday's drama had been a massive wake-up call—and that she is going into rehab.

One pal said: "She was in a terrible state—not able to breathe for several minutes. She took a serious risk with her life and none of us could believe how far she went.

"Even Peaches can't believe what she's done, and wants to put it behind her.

"She was desperate for her dad Bob not to find out, and she has realised it can't happen again."

Her spokesman Ray Levine refused to comment.

But a source close to the young model and TV producer—who is a known cocaine abuser—said: "Peaches will go into rehab but she won't be a prima donna. She will go in to clean up her act."

Peaches collapsed at a flat in Camden, north London, and was revived by an ambulance crew. In May we revealed how she was seen on video offering £190 to a drug pusher.

But the source said: "She is adamant she won't follow her mother into an early grave."
