The body of Peaches Geldof has been released to her family, a day after an autopsy on the British socialite proved “inconclusive.”

Her family can begin to make funeral arrangements, BBC News reports, as they await more results of further toxicology tests due back in “two to three weeks” from the North West Kent coroner.

Geldof, the daughter of Irish musician Bob Geldof, was found dead at her home in Kent, England on April 7. She was 25.

Kent County police officials classified her death as “sudden” and “unexplained” on Monday. An inquest into the cause of Geldof’s death could happen pending the full toxicology results, authorities said.

The blond beauty leaves behind a husband, musician Thomas Cohen, and two toddler sons. She also has three sisters — Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Lily.

Her family is “beyond pain,” Bob Geldof, who rose to fame as the lead singer of the new wave 1970s band Boomtown Rats, said in a statement on Monday.

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