Mystery surrounding Sinead O'Connor's sudden death resolved: Coroner confirms natural causes

It's still hard to believe that more than six months have passed since the loss of Sinead O'Connor. The artist died on Wednesday, July 26, at 56. Her body was discovered in her apartment in London's Brixton district. This tragic news came 18 months after the reported suicide of her son. The delay in disclosing the official cause of her death led to much speculation. However, British authorities have now put all doubts to rest.

Statements gathered by The New York Times and The Irish Times from a London coroner confirmed the conclusion of the investigation into Sinead O'Connor's death.

Sinead O'Connor died of natural causes, stated the coroner.
