Paramedics were called to Taz's address on Boundary Road at roughly 11am.
Despite their best efforts, the grandmother-of-one was pronounced dead at her home just a day before her 52nd birthday.
Her family are now waiting on the results of an autopsy to uncover the circumstances surrounding Taz's tragic death.
Speaking to KentOnline, Kyia Palmer, Taz's daughter, hailed her "loud and colourful" mum as "the best".
The 32-year-old said: 'She had such a big heart. Anything you wanted, she would make it happen.
'She was one in a million, she was my best friend, and I spoke to her every day.
'It was her birthday on Monday. We have no answers and so many questions.
'We have to wait for an autopsy, and there will be an inquest.
'She's left a massive hole in the world for so many people."
Taz leaves behind her husband Peter, her five children Kyia, Jack, Jay, Kian and Kaelen, and a grandchild.
A GoFundMe page - set up by the family - has raised more than £2,000 to go towards Taz's funeral.
Kyia said that there would be a horse-drawn carriage for her mum, who she described as a "queen".
I think my twin sister died because our mum believed in cancer conspiracy theories
She added: 'She deserves the very best send-off.
"We had no funeral plans in place - we never believed this is how we would lose her.
"She was supposed to have so many more years left.
'My mum loved horses, so we would love to have a horse-drawn carriage because she was a queen.
'We all feel helpless and I don't know what to do without her.'

Child, 2, dies after family struck by car 'smashing through barrier'
A two-year-old child has been killed after a young driver crashed into a family at a car park last night. Local news sources reported that the fledgling driver had crashed into a man, woman and a young child at Gorrell Tank car park in Whitstable, Kent. The two-year-old child was sadly confirmed dead at the scene at around 8.15pm on Saturday. A witness said the incident was 'very serious and very sad'. They told Kent Online that they had been advised by a man not to take their children to where they had parked. She added:'When my husband came back with the car, he said lots of people were crying.' A man, in his 20s, was arrested at the scene for causing death by dangerous driving and remains in custody. A Kent Police spokesman appealed for witnesses and people with dash-cam footage to come forward. He said: 'Kent Police was called to the junction of Harbour Street and Cromwell Road, at 8.24pm on Saturday 16 August 2025 following a report of an incident involving a car and multiple pedestrians. 'A man suffered serious injuries and were taken to a local hospital for treatment. A two-year-old child was sadly confirmed deceased at the scene. His next of kin has been informed.' Three fire engines attended the scene of the incident, which is thought to have involved two cars. A spokesperson for South East Coast Ambulance Service said in a statement: 'We sent three ambulances and two Critical Care Paramedics to the scene. More Trending 'Our crews treated three patients at the scene – an adult male, an adult female and a young child.' 'The child was in a very serious condition and the male had received serious injuries.' Canterbury City Council, which operates the car park, said its 'thoughts are with everyone affected' by the incident. It said that the car park had since reopened and officers are on site to 'offer help and support'. Got a story?

Hundreds of protesters take to streets near migrant hotel after ‘asylum seeker guest' arrested on suspicion of assault
It comes after a migrant in his 20s was arrested for common assault on Friday ASYLUM RAGE Hundreds of protesters take to streets near migrant hotel after 'asylum seeker guest' arrested on suspicion of assault Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANTI-Asylum protestors have gathered outside the Britannia Hotel again today. The Pink Ladies group waved Union Jack and England flags while others let-off smoke flares in the street.

The incident occurred in the Isle of Dogs on Wednesday night before he was detained by nearby members of the public. He was arrested by police on suspicion of common assault and he remains in custody. MailOnline reported that the man was a migrant staying in a Canary Wharf hotel. He reportedly entered the woman's house after being told to "go back to the hotel" where anti-migrant protestors were gathered. The 22-year-old woman whose flat he entered was arrested on Wednesday evening. Channay Augustus has since been charged with a number of offences including possession of an offensive weapon, affray, assault on an emergency worker, common assault and possession of cannabis. The affray and common assault charge relate to an incident at the Britannia Hotel in Marsh Wall which occurred on Wednesday evening. It concerned an alleged attack on a security guard at the hotel. She is due to appear in court later this morning. The Britannia Hotel has been the subject of recent protests after it was used for migrants arriving into Britain. It was closed to paying customers and converted into taxpayer-funded 'surge' accommodation for illegal arrivals in the UK. Earlier this week a coach load of asylum seekers were seen running into the four-star establishment under the cover of darkness. The Sun previously reported how mattresses, drinks and bed frames were shipped into hotel, which branded itself as the 'perfect' place for tourists to spend a weekend. 9 A migrant in his 20s was arrested for common assault after entering a woman's flat on Friday in the Isle of Dogs Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 The Britannia Hotel has been the subject of recent protests Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 Huge banners have been displayed reading: 'We're not far right but we're not far wrong... stop the boats' Credit: George Cracknell Wright The 500-room hotel – said to have 'superb views over London' – was designated for asylum seekers in a move that has angered anti-migrant protesters who staged peaceful demonstrations outside. Earlier this month, the first arrivals saw about 40 male asylum seekers sent to the hotel by coach, with most dressed in grey tracksuits. The first arrivals were taken in at around 1.40am to be given rooms. They were helped by masked security guards working as private contractors for the Home Office. The use of the flash financial district hotel, one of around 210 hotels in use for asylum housing, was previously branded as farcical and an 'insult' to taxpayers. When open to the public, a standard room had cost as much as £425 a night – though it will cost the Home Office £81 a night. Amenities include a games room with a pool table and gym, though it is unclear if migrants will be allowed to use them. An indoor pool and sauna are thought to have been shut down. A Tower Hamlets Council spokesman told The Sun previously: 'We are aware of the Government's decision to use the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf to provide temporary accommodation for asylum seekers. 'It is important that the Government ensures that there is a full package of support for those staying at the hotel. We are working with the Home Office and partners to make sure that all necessary safety and safeguarding arrangements are in place." The Home Office previously said: 'We inherited a broken asylum system from the Tories with costs spiralling out of control. 'As part of the plan to restore order and close all asylum hotels by the end of the parliament, we are boosting border security, substantially increasing removals of those with no right to be here. 'We are also tackling the Tories' wasteful contracts by ending the use of more expensive accommodation and moving to cheaper options.' 9 The Britannia has been designated for asylum seekers Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 Earlier this month, the first arrivals saw about 40 male asylum seekers sent to the hotel by coach Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 Use of the hotel to house asylum seekers has been branded as farcical and an 'insult' to taxpayers Credit: George Cracknell Wright More to follow...
