A post-mortem examination failed to establish the cause of her death on April 7 but an inquest was told on Thursday that forensic tests found heroin in the 25-year-old's system. Her death brought back memories of that of her mother, television presenter Paula Yates, who died of a heroin overdose aged 41 in 2000 while alone with her youngest daughter, Tiger Lily, then aged four. &quot;There was recent use of heroin and the levels identified were likely to have played a role in her death,&quot; Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fotheringham said in a statement at the opening of the inquest into Geldof's death.</p><br clear="all"/>
