According to the coroner’s report, Sinéad O’Connor’s death was caused by natural factors.
The Southwark coroner’s court in London, where the singer-songwriter was residing before her passing, released a brief statement confirming that Ms. O’Connor died of natural causes. As a result, the coroner’s office has concluded their investigation into her death.
In July of the previous year, O’Connor passed away at the age of 56. Following a call about an unresponsive woman in Herne Hill, south London, the police announced that they did not consider the death to be suspicious.
The passing of the musician sparked an overwhelming display of sorrow from supporters, including the prime minister of her home country, Leo Varadkar. He expressed, “Her songs were adored globally and her skill was unparalleled and incomparable.” The president of the nation, Michael D Higgins, praised O’Connor’s “distinctive talent and exceptional ability to connect with her fans, who all had such admiration and affection for her.”
In the previous month, O’Connor had recorded a video of herself in her Herne Hill apartment, stating that she had recently relocated and planned to make new music.
Throughout her professional journey, O’Connor achieved worldwide success with her rendition of Prince’s Nothing Compares 2 U and reached the top spot on the album charts in both North America and Europe with her 1990 release, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got. She also produced nine other highly praised studio albums, including her most recent work, I’m Not Bossy, I’m the Boss, released in 2014.
A performance honoring her and another deceased Irish artist, Shane MacGowan, has been scheduled for March 20 in New York City. The lineup includes Cat Power and David Gray.
