Irish singer Sinead O’Connor died from ‘natural causes’, coroner confirms

The Nothing Compares 2 u singer was pronounced dead at her London home in July last year.

Acclaimed Irish singer Sinead O’Connor, who was found dead in her London home in July last year, died of natural causes, the coroner has said.

The Nothing Compares 2 u singer was pronounced dead at the scene, and police said her death, at the age of 56, was not being treated as suspicious.

“This is to confirm that Ms O’Connor died of natural causes. The coroner has therefore ceased their involvement in her death,” London Inner South Coroner’s Court said in a statement on Tuesday.

The coroner’s court said at the time of her death that an autopsy would be conducted before a decision was made on whether to hold an inquest.

O’Connor’s death prompted an outpouring of sympathy from her fans, including other musicians and celebrities worldwide, particularly in her homeland of Ireland.
