Journalist claims Sinead O’Connor killed herself after she committed suicide as cause of death

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Journalist claims Sinead O’Connor killed herself after she committed suicide as cause of death.

Sinead O’Connor, a popular Irish singer, who reverted to Islam a few years ago after reading the Quran, and changed her name to Shuhada Sadaqat. 

O’Connor had been open about her struggle with mental illness throughout her career. Just recently, she shared on Facebook that she had moved back to London after 23 years and was working on an album set to be released next year. She also had plans for tours across various continents in the coming years.

After the death of her son in 2022 she was briefly admitted to hospital after posting online that she had ‘decided to follow’ his path. 

In a statement on Wednesday, the beloved singer’s family said: ‘It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad.

‘Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.’

Tributes poured in for the adored singer after her death was announced on Wednesday evening.

Irish President Michael D. Higgins praised O’Connor’s ‘extraordinarily beautiful, unique voice’ and said he hoped ‘her spirit [may] find the peace she sought in so many different ways’.

He said: ‘May I send my deepest condolences to Sinéad O’Connor’s father John, the members of her family and to all those with whom she shared her life.

‘My first reaction on hearing the news of Sinéad’s loss was to remember her extraordinarily beautiful, unique voice. Her breakthrough came with the release of her debut album, “The Lion and the Cobra,” which earned her a Grammy nomination. However, it was her second album, “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got,” that catapulted her to international fame. Her rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U” topped charts worldwide and earned her a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance.

We were one soul in two halves. He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. I am lost in the bardo without him.’

The mother-of-four also posted a series of Spotify links to relatively sad and heart breaking songs, including one she dedicated to ‘all mothers of Suicided children’.

O’Connor had spoken publicly about her mental health struggles over the years and admitted she battled thoughts of suicide and had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

She often shared about her struggles on her social media – sometimes detailing her agony, other times joking wryly about it.

She reportedly once said that she wanted only her name and mobile number on her tombstone so people would ‘know I am still contactable, though I’m elsewhere’. 

She also revealed she suffered from PTSD because of the abuse she received as a child. 

In 2012 she cancelled a tour after suffering a ‘very serious breakdown’, and in 2015 revealed she had overdosed at a hotel in Ireland.

She cancelled more gigs in 2021 after she said she had gone into a one-year treatment trauma and addiction programme.
