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.'

Russia breaks through Ukrainian frontline as Putin sends 110,000 troops into the meatgrinder days before Trump summit
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VLADIMIR Putin's forces have reportedly made a sudden breakthrough in Ukraine's front lines - just days before a showdown with Trump. Around 110,000 Russian troops reportedly made the surprise thrust near the coal mining town of Dobropillia - marking the most dramatic advancement this year.

The move could even be designed as a bargaining chip - increasing pressure on Kyiv to give up land. Bloodthirsty Putin's forces have reportedly advanced by at least 10km north in two prongs in recent days, as part of their attempt to capture the entire Donetsk region. Russian forces surged towards three villages on a section of the frontline near Kostyantynivka and Pokrovsk, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported. Ukraine's DeepState authority said: "The situation is quite chaotic, as the enemy, having found gaps in the defence, is infiltrating deeper, trying to quickly consolidate and accumulate forces for further advancement." Russian troops reportedly used small sabotage and infantry groups to carry out their advancement. Ukrainian authorities said additional units had arrived in the affected areas. Some of Putin's forces have reportedly already been eliminated or captured. It comes as Russia accused Britain of trying to sabotage the Ukraine peace talks set to be held between Trump and Putin. The Kremlin slammed the UK and accused it of trying to disrupt the crunch talks - after Sir Keir Starmer warned the Russian leader could not be "trusted". Nazi lies, Vlad's propaganda & troops on border… chilling signs Putin ready to invade ANOTHER European nation after Ukraine The Russian embassy in London said: "We note the ongoing attempts by London and some of its partners to disrupt a peace resolution of the conflict by eliminating its root causes. "This is clearly demonstrated by the statements and activity developed by the British leadership in the run-up to the Russian-American summit in Alaska." Sir Keir backed Trump's plans but urged to be more caution. The PM's official spokesman said: "Never trust President Putin as far as you could throw him, but we obviously will support Ukraine. "Any ceasefire cannot just be an opportunity for President Putin to go away, re-arm, restrengthen, and then go again." Trump said on August 8 that he hopes to hold a meeting with Putin in Alaska on August 15. Washington and Moscow are said to be eyeing a deal to put an end to the bloody conflict in Ukraine - but it may not be all good news for Kyiv. Trump told reporters in The White House that Zelensky is "going to have to get ready to sign something" in order to bring peace to his nation. Top diplomats from the US and Russia and currently working on an agreement to finalise post-war territories, senior officials told Bloomberg. Zelensky's invite to the peace talks is still being weighed up by the White House and it is currently unclear if he will attend or not. Sources said Trump's team is trying to get Ukraine and its European allies on board to get a peace deal that would see Kyiv make some concessions. One major sticking point for Moscow is the annexation of Ukrainian territory - one of Putin's long-term demands. Zelensky has been adamant that Ukraine will not accept any further annexation of its land. Although he suggested Russia could be allowed to retain some of the land it has taken. Moscow is likely to demand that Ukraine cede its entire eastern Donbas area to Russia, as well as Crimea - which Moscow annexed in 2014. This means Ukrainian troops will need to withdraw from the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk - the regions still being held by Kyiv. In return, Moscow would stop its offensive in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine along the current battlelines, according to the officials. Kyiv risks being presented with a take-it-or-leave-it offer during the high-stakes meeting. Zelensky has told European leaders they must reject any settlement proposals by the US that demand Ukraine give up further land. Trump announced on Friday that the only way to resolve the issues is for both sides to accept losses of land. He said: "It's complicated, actually. Nothing is easy. It's very complicated. "We're going to get some switched. There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both." The MAGA prez said he would try to return territory to Ukraine. Don added: "Russia has occupied a big portion of Ukraine. They've occupied some very prime territory. "We're going to try and get some of that territory back for Ukraine." Putin, who has consistently rejected calls for a ceasefire, said that he wants peace but that his demands for ending his invasion were "unchanged". More to follow...

Plane thug who threatened to ‘gang rape' hostess may get longer in jail after MPs wife handed DOUBLE for Southport tweet
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PLANE thug who threatened to "gang rape" a hostess may get longer in jail after an MPs wife was handed double the term for a migrant tweet. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has referred Salman Iftihar's 15-month sentence to the Attorney General for being "unduly lenient". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Salman Iftihar launched into a sick rant on a Virgin Atlantic plane Credit: Central News 6 The tycoon was locked up for 15 months despite his rap sheet Credit: Central News 6 By contrast, Lucy Connolly was jailed for 31 months for one tweet Credit: PA He said the term was evidence of "two-tier justice" after Lucy Connolly was caged for 31 months for a tweet about the Southport riots. Mr Philp told the Mail: "Iftikar was sentenced to only 15 months in prison last week for threatening an air stewardess with gang rape and for racially aggravated harassment. Iftikhar has multiple previous convictions. "Yet Lucy Connolly got 31 months for a far less serious offence - a prosecution Lord Hermer personally authorised. "This is two-tier justice in action. "I have today referred the case to the Attorney General Lord Hermer for review under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. "We'll now find out if Hermer is willing to take action to fix Britain's two-tier justice problem." Shocking footage showed Iftikhar, 37, tell Virgin Atlantic crew member Angie Walsh she would be attacked in her hotel after landing. The tycoon launched into the foul-mouthed rant after downing champagne on an eight-hour flight from London Heathrow to Lahore, Pakistan. Iftikhar said Ms Walsh would be taken from her hotel room, gang raped and set on fire. He also threatened to blow-up the five-star hotel where the cabin crew were set to stay. Isleworth Crown Court heard Iftikhar has six previous convictions, including for common assault, in what the judge described as a "lengthy and appalling" rap sheet. Despite her comments, she only jailed the thug for 15 months after he admitted making threats to kill and racially aggravated harassment. In contrast, Connolly was locked up for 31 months after admitting publishing threatening or abusive material intending to stir up racial hatred. The childminder had shared a social media post just hours after three girls were knifed to death in Southport last summer. She wrote: "Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the b******* for all I care... "If that makes me racist, so be it." Connolly launched a bid against her "harsh" sentence but this was thrown out by Court of Appeal judges. Her husband Raymond Connolly, who is Conservative vice chair of the committee on adult social care at West Northamptonshire Council, said she had been shown "no mercy". In a letter to the Attorney General, Mr Philip pointed out Iftikhar made "over 100 sickening threats" to cabin crew as opposed to Connolly's one post. The Attorney General's Office will now decide if the sentence was unduly lenient and if so, refer it to the Court of Appeal. Dad-of-three Iftikhar, who was later revealed as a debt-ridden tycoon with two wives, could then see his jail term increased. 6 Iftikhar threatened to gang rape the cabin crew worker Credit: Central News 6 The millionaire, seen with one of his wives Abeer Rizvi, pleaded guilty Credit: Instagram

Watch the moment fiend is arrested at work for battering Scots mum to death in her bed
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) INCREDIBLE new footage shows a tattooed brute being nicked for slaughtering a mum in her own bed. Kiesha Donaghy, 32, was battered to death with what is thought to be a claw hammer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Owen Grant is led out of his workplace in handcuffs after being arrested for murdering Kiesha Donaghy Credit: BBC 4 Kiesha Donaghy was battered to death in her own bed in a horror attack Credit: Facebook 4 Grant was caged for at least 24 years for the brutal murder Credit: Police Scotland 4 A new BBC documentary looks at the probe into Kiesha's death Credit: Facebook BBC documentary series Murder Case shows detectives on the trail of her killer. They eventually snare her pal Owen Grant and swoop on him at work in Elgin, Moray. Grant, 43, says: 'You've got to do what you've got to do but I've not done nothing.' Just before he's led away in handcuffs, he asks: 'What about my job?' Mother-of-two Kiesha was found dead in her home in Elgin in November 2023. The new show reveals detectives initially feared she'd been murdered by drug dealers. Friends and relatives told cops she was being chased for a drug debt of up to £20,000. Messages from a Scouse enforcer who called himself Joe Bloggs warned her his 'Two Amigos' would be visiting her to get his cash. One said: 'They will not meet you anywhere else. It will be in your house and you will be alone.' Kiesha's aunt Rachel revealed: 'When we found she had been murdered I thought to myself this is Joe Bloggs, this is his amigos.' But Murder Case reveals that she was killed by evil Grant so he could steal the cash she set aside to pay off Joe Bloggs. Cops trawled CCTV looking for footage of the Two Amigos in Elgin the night Keisha died. There was no sign of them but they did spot Grant who claimed he was in bed. Other footage they uncovered show him flaunting a wad of cash when he was skint and struggling to pay his rent. While a clip outside a local shop caught him dumping something in a bin. The murder weapon has never been recovered. A bloody handprint in Kiesha's home was eventually identified as Grant's and he was named as a suspect. A squad of cops swooped on him at his workplace a fortnight after she was murdered. Detective Inspector William Grant said: 'He would have known that he was starting to become of significant interest to the police. "This is a man that's committed a violent murder in a relatively low crime area of Scotland, We can't allow him to be walking the streets." The documentary reveals Grant refused to answer questions when he was grilled about Kiesha's murder. He eventually went on trial and was convicted in May. He'll be caged for at least 24 years. Jurors were told he butchered Kiesha to get his hands on £770 that she had stashed in a wardrobe and was intended for Joe Bloggs. Kiesha's aunt Rachel said: 'I wish he had never been in Elgin and I wish he had never met Kiesha. 'I can't believe he killed her for the money, It's a disgusting thing to do. "If he asked her for money she would have given it to him. It was just that he knew she had that money and he wanted it to feed his habit." 'He's in jail now but we've got to carry on. It's never going to be the same without her." Murder Case: Who Killed Kiesha is now available on Iplayer.
