On July 26, the entertainment industry was shocked to learn of Sinéad O’Connor’s tragic death.
The Irish Times received a statement from her family in which they stated, “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad.”. “Her family and friends have expressed their devastation and asked for privacy during this extremely trying time. “.
O’Connor’s music was praised by critics and recognized throughout the world, but she also struggled with mental illness and was involved in a number of scandals due to her outspoken political and social beliefs.
The Lion and the Cobra, her debut album, was released in 1987 when she was just 20 years old. O’Connor received a Grammy nomination for the album, which became a global hit.
It was named one of the best albums of the 1980s by Slant Magazine and Pitchfork, with Slant calling it “one of the most electrifying debuts in rock history” and Pitchfork praising the album’s “themes of patriotism, sexuality, Catholicism, and social oppression set the stage for a career marked by a resolute sense of independence.”. “.
With her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U,” her most well-known and highest-charting song, O’Connor’s second album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, was her biggest commercial success. It frequently appears on lists of the greatest songs ever written, and the Billboard Music Awards named it the “1 World Single” of 1990.
The singer was found “unresponsive” at her London home on Wednesday, and after they were called, she was pronounced dead there. The official cause of death will not be determined for “several weeks” while an autopsy is being conducted, which will delay the release of the findings.
But according to authorities, there is no “suspicious” investigation into her death. “.
The London Inner South Coroner’s Court reportedly stated that they will decide whether to hold an inquest if autopsy results are available and applications from O’Connor’s relatives are received, according to the Daily Mirror, shortly after the untimely death of O’Connor was made public.
The autopsy has been completed, but O’Connor’s family has just received her remains, and it is evident that they are still grieving her tragic death.
A short time before she passed away, O’Connor tweeted about her son, who had committed suicide in January 2022 after going missing in Ireland.
The well-known singer turned to social media after her son passed away to express her sorrow and suffering. She emphasized their close relationship by saying she felt “lost” and lived as an “undead night creature” without him.
O’Connor described her child on Twitter as “the love of my life, the lamp of my soul,” adding, “I’ve been living as an undead night creature ever since. “We were one soul split into two. The only person who actually cared about me was him. Without him, I’m lost in the bardo. “.
