A date for a full inquest into the death of 25-year-old Ms Geldof is due to be set some time in late July, the spokesman added.

The body of the mother-of-two was found on 7 April at her Kent home. Kent Police have said her death is being treated as a "non-suspicious, unexplained sudden death".

A post-mortem examination proved inconclusive, prompting further investigations.
