Sinéad O’Connor’s ‘date of death is unknown’: coroner

The coroner investigating the death of Sinéad O’Connor has yet to determine when the Grammy Award-winning singer died.

The 56-year-old’s remains were found by London Metropolitan Police Wednesday, and while her death is not being treated as suspicious a spokesperson for the London Inner South Coroner’s Court said the singer’s “date of death is unknown,” the Daily Mail reported.

No medical cause has been given for the death and an autopsy will be conducted with results taking “several weeks” to be delivered, the Coroner’s Court added.

O’Connor lived in a converted 1940s warehouse just a few minutes walk from the bustling Brixton district in South London.

In her last public statement on Facebook, O’Connor on July 11 told fans she recently moved back to London after 23 years and was “very happy to be home.”

She added that she was finishing a new album expected to be released next year and planning a world tour, including stops in the U.S. and Europe, and Australia. 

O’Connor erupted onto the music scene with her debut album, “The Lion and the Cobra,” in 1987 at the age of 20.

Known for her fiery temperament and shaved head, O’Connor went on to release 10 studio albums during her record-setting career.

Three years after her debut, she became a household name with a rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U” — a power ballad written by Prince.

The track turned O’Connor into an international sensation and was named the No. 1 world single in 1990 by the Billboard Music Awards.

The accompanying music video, which featured a close-up of O’Connor’s tearful face, became just as iconic as the track itself and is considered one of the most recognizable clips of the decade.

The following year, she won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance for her album “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got.”

Lauded by the Irish community, the inaugural award for Classic Irish Album was bestowed upon O’Connor at the RTÉ Choice Music Prize earlier this year.

During her speech, the crowd erupted in applause and gave her a standing ovation.

Just days before her death, Sinéad O’Connor tweeted out a tribute to her late son, Shane, on July 17.

“For all mothers of Suicided children,” she wrote in the caption, accompanied by the song’s link on Spotify.

“Great Tibetan Compassion Mantra.”

The Irish singer tragically lost her 17-year-old son to suicide after he was reported missing from a suicide watch at an Irish hospital last year.
