Cause of Death Revealed Following Sinéad O’Connor’s Passing
Sinead Marie Bernadette O’Connor, an Irish singer, was born in Dublin on 8 December 1966. She rose to fame in the late 1980s by her debut album, The Lion and The Cobra. In 1990, she achieved worldwide success after the release of the album I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, containing the mega hit “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
Personal Life
Being named after great people in the country where she was born, the president’s wife, Saint Bernadette, and the fact that her parents were divorced and were also abusing her, she learned how to take care of herself and think of how to rise to greatness. Although this did not happen instantly because Sinéad left her mother in 1979 to go live with her father and her new wife, but was charged with a shoplifting offense and had to serve 18 months in a Magdalene asylum.
Death
O’Connor passed away on 26 July 2023 at the age of 56, in her flat in Herne Hill, South London.
Even though the singer died relatively young, her death has been reported as “natural” by a coroner. Her death certificate reported the cause of death as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma.
A private funeral was held on 8 August in Bray, County Wicklow. Among those in attendance was the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins. Thousands came to pay their respects, many carrying signs and tributes.
O’Connor was laid to rest in a private ceremony at Dean’s Grange Cemetery.
