Sinéad O’Connor, the Irish singer and songwriter who passed away in July, died of natural causes, a London coroner’s office said Tuesday.

“Ms. O’Connor died of natural causes,” the office said in a statement to the New York Times. Due to this, the coroner’s office has “therefore ceased their involvement in her death.”

On July 26, 2023, O’Conner was found unresponsive in her South London flat and later confirmed to be dead. At the time, authorities said that her death was not being treated as suspicious. A private funeral was held Aug. 8.

O’Connor was best known for her single, “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which was honored as the top world single at the Billboard Music Awards the year of its release.
