The London coroner’s office confirmed on Tuesday that Irish singer Sinead O’Connor, who passed away in July at the age of 56, died of natural causes. This announcement puts an end to the speculation surrounding the circumstances of her death, following her discovery at a residential property in the British capital.
The coroner’s brief statement did not provide specific details about the natural causes that led to O’Connor’s death. With this conclusion, the coroner’s office has ceased its involvement in the case, indicating no further investigations are needed.
Best known for her rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” O’Connor rose to global fame in the 1990s.

O’Connor’s career was characterized by her powerful voice and strong stances on social issues, making her an influential figure in music and popular culture.
