A coroner has determined that Sinéad O’Connor died of natural causes.

A brief statement from Southwark coroner’s court in London, the city where the singer-songwriter had been living at the end of her life, said: “This is to confirm that Ms O’Connor died of natural causes. The coroner has therefore ceased their involvement in her death.”
