The Southwark Coroner’s Court in London has confirmed that the beloved singer, Sinéad O’Connor, passed away at 56 due to natural causes.

Her untimely death, just days after canceling gigs to focus on her health following her son Shane’s suicide, marked the end of a tumultuous journey. Although found “unresponsive” in her London apartment, no foul play was suspected, as confirmed by the Metropolitan Police.

O’Connor’s family, grappling with the loss, had requested privacy, revealing the profound impact of Shane’s death on the singer. Sinéad’s poignant tweets before her passing reflected the depth of her grief. Despite her struggles, she made a vibrant appearance in March 2023, accepting an award for Best Irish Classic Album.

The singer’s funeral in Ireland last August marked the closing chapter of a life marked by musical brilliance and personal tragedy. Sinéad O’Connor leaves behind a legacy, survived by her three other children: Jake, Roisin, and Yeshua.
