A coroner’s judge from the United Kingdom reported this Tuesday the causes of the Irish singer’s death. Sinead O’Connor in July last year in London, at the age of 56.
The artist was found dead on July 26 in a home in the south of the British capital, a city where she had moved to live that month from her native Ireland.
A statement from Southwark Coroner’s Court confirmed on Tuesday that O’Connor “died of natural causes” and, therefore, the forensic judge “has concluded his involvement” in this event.
Although no traces of violence or any strange elements had been found, the artist’s behavior in recent times and some specific events that occurred in her private life raised some questions.
O’Connor had revealed that he had been fighting bipolar disorder for several years, so it was common for him to fall into deep bouts of depression.
A few days before her death, the Dublin singer had posted a message on her Facebook account to inform that she had moved to London and was finishing an album to be published this year.

This judicial body already explained last July that it would carry out an autopsy to determine the causes of death, after the Metropolitan Police (MET) then announced that it was not considered “suspicious.”
In the days before her death, the Irish singer was finishing a new album, preparing a tour and planning to make her autobiography into a film.

The disappearance of Sinéad O’Connor, who achieved worldwide fame in 1990 with the song Nothing Compares 2 U, written by the American artist Prince, sparked an avalanche of tributes.
In 2022, his 17-year-old son Shane ended his days. Her death was a tremendous blow and the singer was hospitalized after saying on social media that she was also considering committing suicide.
The singer appeared in a video, published in early July on the social network Twitter, renamed “X”, where she evoked her pain after her son’s suicide and stated that she wanted to finish a new album.
In addition to her music, the singer stood out for her fight against sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, which she accused of not having sufficiently protected children. In 1992 she ripped up an image of Pope John Paul II on American television.
