According to a coroner, the passing of Sinéad O'Connor was due to natural reasons.
The musician from Ireland was discovered in a state of unconsciousness in her residence situated in the southern region of London in July. The authorities declared her demise at the age of 56.
On Tuesday, Southwark Coroner's Court released a statement asserting that Ms O'Connor's death was due to natural causes.
The statement mentioned that the coroner has stopped participating in the investigation of her demise.
The vocalist had relocated to London once again, expressing on Twitter in the previous month that she had been absent for 23 years.
O'Connor was famous for her music and activism. The single Nothing Compares 2 U, released in 1990, was her most renowned work. It became a global sensation, topping music charts and earning her international recognition.
She was not afraid to speak her mind when it came to social and political issues. Throughout the years spanning from 1987 to 2014, she put out a total of 10 albums.
Rolling Stone magazine declared her artist of the year in 1991 and she received the Brit Award for international female solo artist.
Last year, the vocalist from Dublin underwent a spiritual conversion and adopted the Islamic faith, opting to be known as Shuhada' Sadaqat. However, she persisted in using her original name for her performances. This year, she published a personal account named Rememberings.
The passing of O'Connor received recognition from the Irish President, Michael D Higgins, who expressed admiration for her "genuine nature" and "distinctive, pleasing tone".
On Tuesday it was declared that a homage musical event will be held to pay respect to O'Connor and Shane MacGowan, the lead singer of The Pogues. The performance is set to be held at Carnegie Hall in New York City on 20th March.
The live performance known as Sinéad & Shane at Carnegie Hall, which will take place for only one night, will commemorate the lives of both artists.
Musicians like Mountain Goats, Cat Power, and Dropkick Murphys will perform several songs from O'Connor and MacGowan.
