Sinead O’Connor cause of death: Reason behind music legend's demise

Legendary musician Sinéad O’Connor's demise in London last year shocked the music fraternity. Now the cause of death has emerged.

Sinéad O’Connor died due to asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to multiple reports quoting the musician's death certificate. The document was registered by her former husband John Reynolds.

It has also been revealed that O’Connor was suffering from respiratory tract infection, as per a report on New York Post.


O'Connor was found unresponsive at her south London home on July 26 last year. She was 56. A London coroner announced in January that she had died of "natural causes".

Her death prompted an outpouring of sympathy from her legions of fans including other musicians and celebrities around the world, particularly in her homeland of Ireland.

Hundreds lined the route of her cortege in Bray, the Irish town near Dublin that she called home for 15 years, on the day of her funeral last August.

Meanwhile, Ireland's National Wax Museum said Friday it was withdrawing a newly unveiled figure of music legend Sinead O'Connor after a backlash at its appearance from her family, fans and the wider public.

The Dublin museum -- one of the Irish capital's most popular visitor attractions -- admitted it "can do better" after the waxwork, introduced before Friday's one-year anniversary of O'Connor's death, drew widespread ridicule.

O'Connor's brother branded it "hideous" while social media users savaged its non-likeness to the Grammy award-winning singer, best known for her 1990 cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U".

"The National Wax Museum Plus is launching a new project to create a more accurate representation," the museum said in a statement.
