Acclaimed Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor was found unresponsive at her home in Herne Hill, south London, and was soon after pronounced dead, at the age of 56, on July 26, 2023. Over five months later, an autopsy report determined that she died from natural causes but, even now, we're learning further details as to what exactly led to her passing at such a young age.
Just days after her one-year death anniversary, the Irish Independent reports that a death certificate specifically states that O'Connor's passing was a result of "exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchial asthma together with low-grade lower respiratory tract infection."
