Yesterday, the coroner confirmed that O’Connor died as a result of natural causes.
A spokesperson for Southwark Coroner’s Court said: “This is to confirm that Ms O’Connor died of natural causes.
“The coroner has therefore ceased their involvement in her death. Any further enquiries should be directed to the Registrar at Lambeth.
“No further comments will be made.”
Now, one of O’Connor’s former partners has claimed that she died of a broken heart.
Dermot Hayes, who dated O’Connor for two years, suggested that Sinead couldn’t go on with a broken heart any longer.
Speaking to the Irish Sun, Hayes said: “From this you can surmise that a broken heart is a real illness symptom, and a cause of death.
“It doesn’t make Sinead’s passing any less painful. It was more to do with a broken heart than anything else.”
Sinead O’Connor is survived by her three children. Her son, Shane, died in 2022 aged 17.
