Thomas Cohen has opened up about the harrowing moment he found his wife dead.
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost three years since the tragic death of Peaches Geldof. The daughter of Sir Bob Geldof was found non-responsive at her home in the English countryside, she had taken an overdose of heroin and was pronounced dead at the scene. Her 11-month-old son Astala remained alone in the house for 8 hours after her death.

In a candid interview with German magazine Bild, her widower Thomas Cohen spoke of the bitter reality that his two sons Astala and Phaedra, aged five and four respectively, have now lived longer than they knew their mother.
Recalling that day he revealed:
‘When I found her, I was not surprised. I thought to myself at the moment: “Yes of course – you had to do that.” What I can remember, it must have been an hour after I’ve found it, that it’s time for the kids’ lunch.
‘They needed their lunch” he continued, ” So I took the children’s chairs to the table, took the yogurts out of the fridge, the bananas … The routine I had to keep up with the children helped me a lot”.
