Sinéad O’Connor’s cause of death, which happened one year ago, has been revealed. The Irish singer passed away at age 56 on July 26, 2023. It is said that she was found unconscious in her home by the police. Bob Geldof and Bono were among those who mourned her death at her funeral, which was held in Bray, Ireland, last August. In January this year, coroners confirmed that O’Connor had died of natural causes.
The exact cause of O’Connor’s death has now been revealed, according to the Irish Independent. Her death certificate, which was registered by her ex-husband John Reynolds, stated that O’Connor had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. The certificate also stated that the singer had been suffering from “a lower-grade respiratory tract infection.” Julian Morris, senior coroner for Inner South London, certified O’Connor’s death after completing a post-mortem examination without inquest.
Tributes have flooded in for O’Connor since her death, with many musicians and artists paying their respects. Garbage, Michael Stipe, and Ice-T were among those who celebrated her life. Billy Corgan recently spoke up about his friendship with O’Connor, applauding her as “such an incredible talent.” He added that O’Connor’s singing ability had a straight line to her heart, a characteristic that is rare in singers.
