Sinead O’Connor’s cause of death finally revealed

According to the Irish Independent, Sinéad O’Connor passed away from a mix of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

According to the source, the 56-year-old singer was also fighting a respiratory ailment when she passed away.

The official cause of Sinéad O’Connor’s death is now known.

The Irish Independent used the Grammy winner’s death certificate, which was published one year after her passing in July 2023, to state that she died from asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease.

Specifically, the certificate said that O’Connor’s death was due to “exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma together with a low-grade lower respiratory tract infection,” according to the source.

According to the Irish Independent, the “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer’s ex-husband John Reynolds officially recorded her death in Lambeth, London, on Wednesday, July 24. The news source states that after a postmortem examination, Julian Morris, a senior coroner for Inner South London, confirmed her death.

On July 26, 2023, authorities found 56-year-old O’Connor “unresponsive” in her London home.

At the time, the Coroner’s Court’s website stated that there was no given medical cause of death. Shortly after her death, a Scotland Yard official informed the public that the death was not considered suspicious.

The London Inner South Coroner’s Court later released a statement revealing that she had died of natural causes and that it had ceased its involvement in her death.

Her three children will carry on the musician’s legacy. Shane, her son, took his own life in 2022, when he was 17 years old.

Nothing Compares, a documentary by Frank O’Connor, will appear on La Cinéma Club for free streaming for the next seven days, according to the film’s director, who announced this earlier this week.

“Many people have reached out from around the globe, asking how they can view it,” filmmaker Kathryn Ferguson posted on Instagram, “since its premiere in 2022.”

“This includes many who lack access to streaming platforms or live in regions where the film isn’t available,” he said.

According to her, “Now, everyone can watch it and honor Sinéad’s extraordinary talent and her unwavering commitment to standing up for the oppressed.”
