After several months of inquest, the London Coroner’s Court has finally ruled on the death of Sinéad O’Connor. It would appear that the artist died of natural causes, rejecting any hypothesis of suicide. His sudden death last July sent shockwaves through Ireland and the rest of the world. She was 56 years old.
The circumstances surrounding Sinéad O’Connor’s death have finally been clarified. The latter died naturally in her London apartment, before being discovered by her relatives.
A revelation that definitively closes the story of one of the greatest Irish artists of our time… A rebellious, outspoken artist who had her tongue firmly in her cheek, and whose life was shaped by personal tragedy.
Physically and psychologically abused as a child, and placed in the Magdalene convents as a teenager, Sinéad O’Connor has enjoyed success, while dealing with significant mental health problems that have considerably damaged her career.
Despite the difficulties, the young woman has never lacked courage to face up to particularly dramatic ordeals…
The most recent, the suicide of her son Shane in 2022, when he was just 17 years old, is said to have had the better of the singer. Devastated, she left, according to her friend and producer David Holmes, heartbroken.
His death, natural but premature, bears witness to a life blighted by hardship…
Since then, Ireland has never ceased to pay tribute to him, and to reiterate the extent to which his talent is to be commended.
