A post-mortem examination yesterday failed to determine what caused the 25-year-old TV star, writer and model’s death.
Medics are now awaiting the results of toxicology tests to find out if she had taken alcohol, drugs or both.
The news comes as it was revealed Peaches had become obsessed by a “Suicide Girls” website, depicting models covered in blood.
Users on the extreme site – which, despite its name, does not promote self-harm or suicide – openly talk about “making death look good”.
As we revealed yesterday, police are probing if she died from natural causes or an accidental or deliberate overdose.
The test results may take up to six weeks to come through.
Yesterday her dad Bob, 62, made an emotional visit to see Peaches’s children Astala, 23 months, and Phaedra, 11 months, for the first time since their mum’s death on Monday.
They are being looked after by her musician husband Tom Cohen, 23, and his parents Keith and Sue.
Bob, who flew back to the UK on the first flight from San Francisco after hearing the tragic news, arrived at the family’s semi-detached house in south- east London in a black car at 12.30pm.

He looked grim-faced as Keith led him inside for a two-hour visit. A source said the family was “numb”.
“At the moment they will still be in shock but they will obviously want answers,’’ the friend added.
“The thought they may face such a long wait for news will only add to their pain.’’
Last night, it was revealed Peaches had started following the Suicide Girls page on Instagram.
The group, featuring 2,581 models, states: “What some people think makes us strange or weird we think makes us beautiful.
"True devotees join our website/cult/private club.’’
Peaches, who spent a lot of time on her Instagram page, which has now been removed, started following Suicide Girls weeks before her death.
Yesterday the site published a tribute, saying: “We are very saddened to lose one of our favourite followers.’’
The group’s macabre website features pictures of semi-naked models displaying tattoos and piercings.
It has been dogged by controversy.
In 2005 it removed a large number of images fearing scrutiny by the courts.
The pictures depicted bondage, knives, swords and simulated blood.
A spokesman for Kent Police said Peaches’ death was still being treated as “non-suspicious, unexplained and sudden”.
