Sinéad O'Connor Died of Natural Causes: Coroner

Sinéad O’Connor died of natural causes on July 26, at age 56, according to a coroner's report. 

The coroner has confirmed her cause of death to the Daily Mail, which noted that the singer-songwriter was found at her home in Herne Hill in London when the authorities were called. 

Her death was not considered suspicious.

"This is to confirm that Ms. O’Connor died of natural causes,” a rep for Southwark Coroner's Court told the outlet.

"The coroner has therefore ceased their involvement in her death."

O’Connor was "pronounced dead at the scene" after being found "unresponsive" at her London home at around 11 a.m. on July 26, police said. 

At the time, the London Inner South Coroner's Court said that "no medical cause of death was given," prompting the coroner to conduct an autopsy.  

"The results of this may not available for several weeks," the court said in a statement at the time, adding that a decision on whether an inquest would be needed would be made when the results are known and submissions from the family have been heard.

"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad. Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time,” O’Connor’s family said in a statement issued last year, according to the New York Post.

The singer died shortly after moving into her new London home and had talked about upcoming music and a 2024 tour. Her death also came 18 months after the tragic death of her 17-year-old son, Shane O’Connor, by suicide in January 2022. 

Her final post on X, dated July 17, paid tribute to her son.

"Been living as undead night creature since," she said, referring to Shane's death. "He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul. We were one soul in two halves. He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. I am lost in the bardo without him."
