Days before her death on July 26, 2023, Sinéad O’Connor shared a final tribute to her late son Shane, who died by suicide in 2022. She wrote:
“Been living as undead night creature since… He was the love of my life… I am lost in the bardo without him.”
Her death at 56 was ruled natural, linked to COPD, asthma, and a respiratory infection. Her final words reflect the deep grief that marked her final years.
