Sinead O'Connor's cause of death revealed months after sudden passing

A London coroner's office has revealed the results of its autopsy on Irish musician and activist Sinead O'Connor.

A London coroner's office has revealed Sinéad O'Connor's cause of death, months after the Irish musician unexpectedly died at the age of 56.

In a brief statement Tuesday, London's Southwark Coroner's Court said O'Connor died of natural causes, meaning her passing was due to an internal condition and not at the hands of herself or another person. The coroner said this finding ceases the office's involvement in her death and that "no further comments will be made" on the case.

O'Connor was found unresponsive at a South London home on July 26, 2023, and the coroner's office said it would be conducting an autopsy after finding no medical cause of death.

The songwriter's family shared a statement after her death, writing, "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."

Born in Dublin, O'Connor stepped into stardom with her 1987 debut album, "The Lion and the Cobra" and the debut of her now infamous buzzcut. But her 1990 album, "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got," made her an international sensation with her cover of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U," which became a worldwide hit.
