Coroners confirmed in January this year that O’Connor had died of natural causes, but now the exact causes of her death have been released.
According to the Irish Independent, the death certificate (registered by her ex-husband John Reynolds) states that O’Connor died due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
The certificate also stated that O’Connor had also reportedly been suffering from “a lower-grade respiratory tract infection”. The singer’s death was certified by Julian Morris, senior coroner for Inner South London, upon the completion of a post-mortem examination without inquest.
In other news, a Dublin wax museum has apologised and removed their Sinéad O’Connor figure after backlash.
