BTN News: The tragic passing of famous singer Sinéad O’Connor has touched the hearts of many around the world. Now, a year after her death, the true cause has finally been revealed. This information gives us a clearer picture of the last days of the talented artist known for her hit song “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
Sinéad O’Connor died in July 2023 at the age of 56. The cause of her death was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchial asthma. Her condition worsened due to a low-grade respiratory infection. The Irish Independent got a copy of her death certificate, which confirmed these details. John Reynolds, Sinéad’s ex-husband, registered her death earlier this month. Julian Morris, the senior coroner for Inner South London, certified it. However, the coroner’s office has not yet made an official statement.
Sinéad’s family shared their deep sadness in a heartfelt statement. They said they were devastated by her death and asked for privacy during this hard time. The statement read, “With great sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad. Her family and friends are devastated and have asked for privacy at this very difficult time.”
The beloved singer was found unconscious at a home in London. Authorities said there were no suspicious circumstances around her death. This tragic loss is even more painful because it happened just a year after the death of her son, Shane. Shane took his own life in 2022, which deeply affected Sinéad. In her last social media post on X, she wrote about her deep sorrow, saying, “I have been living as an undead night creature since then. 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’m lost in the bardo without him.”
Sinéad O’Connor’s life and career were full of powerful moments. She was known for her strong voice and her courage to speak out on personal and social issues. In 2018, she converted to Islam and changed her name to Shuhada’ Sadaqat. This change was part of her ongoing search for spiritual and personal truth.
Her death has left a big gap in the music world and among her many fans. They loved her for her talent and honesty. As people remember her contributions and the details of her passing, Sinéad O’Connor’s legacy as a groundbreaking artist and a deeply caring person lives on.
