Irish singer Sinead O'Connor died of "natural causes"

The singer, who became a global star with her hit "Nothing Compares 2 U" in 1990, was found unresponsive by police on July 26 at her home in southeast London.

In a statement, the court in Southwark, located in south London, in charge of the investigation into her death, “confirms that Ms. O'Connor died of natural causes”.

After the singer's death, police said her death was "not considered suspicious." Her death sparked an avalanche of tributes in Ireland and around the world.

She was buried south of Dublin, after a funeral procession along the seafront in Bray, a small town where she lived for 15 years.

The new album never finished

In addition to her music, the singer was known for her fight against sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, which she accused of not having sufficiently protected children. In particular, in 1992, she tore up an image of Pope John Paul II on television in the United States, a scene whose images went around the world.

In recent years, Sinead O'Connor has spoken out on social media, threatening her former associates with legal action, describing her physical and mental health problems, sharing her suicidal thoughts, and her complicated relationships with her family.

According to her agents, Sinead was finishing her latest album, preparing dates for a new tour for 2024, and exploring opportunities related to a film adapted from her book, her autobiography “Rememberings” released in 2021,” her agents Kenneth and Carl Papenfus said, on the website of their agency, 67 Management.
