The Cause of Death for Irish Musician Sinéad O’Connor Revealed
The death of Irish musician Sinéad O’Connor has finally been unveiled. The iconic “Nothing Compares To U” singer, who passed away at the age of 56 in July 2023, died of natural causes. This revelation comes from a statement released by the London Inner South Coroner’s Court, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.
“This is to confirm that Ms. O’Connor died of natural causes. The coroner has therefore ceased their involvement in her death,” the London Inner South Coroner’s Court Clerk said in an email statement, adding that “no further comments will be made” on the matter.
Shortly after the news of her passing became public, O’Connor’s family released a statement expressing their profound sadness and requesting privacy during this difficult time.
The police confirmed that her death was not considered suspicious.
Just a week before her passing, O’Connor shared a heartfelt tweet, which has since been deleted, about her late son. She wrote, “Been living as an undead night creature since. He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul. We were one soul in two halves. He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. I am lost in the Bardo without him.”
Tragically, O’Connor’s son, Shane, took his own life at the age of 17, only 18 months prior to her death. Following Shane’s passing, O’Connor was briefly hospitalized and expressed her despair on social media, stating, “There is no point to living without him.”
