Sinéad O’Connor: New Police Details Surrounding Her Death

Sinéad O’Connor passed away on Wednesday, and now police have released new details about her death.

According to London’s Metropolitan Police, authorities responded to “reports of an unresponsive woman” at a southeast London home.

At the residence, they found a 56-year-old woman who was “pronounced dead at the scene.”

Her death was not deemed suspicious, and a file is being prepared for the coroner.

After news broke of O’Connor’s death, her family confirmed in a statement to RTE, “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.”

The news comes less than two years after her son Shane O’Connor took his own life at just 17.

O’Connor recently shared a painful message about her son’s death, tweeting, “Been living as undead night creature since. 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.”

She is survived by her three children Jake, Roisin, and Yeshua.

O’Connor was born December 8, 1966, in Dublin. Her debut album, “The Lion and the Cobra” (1987), was a major success, particularly in Europe and on U.S. college radio. Her follow-up, “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got,” was one of 1990’s top sellers, fueled by the phenomenal success of “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
