Sinead O'Connor passed away in July 2023

The 'Nothing Compares 2 U' singer died in July 2023, aged 56, and a copy of her death certificate has now been obtained by the Irish Independent newspaper, revealing that her death was a result of "exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma together with low grade lower respiratory tract infection".

John Reynolds, Sinead's ex-husband, formerly registered her death earlier this month, when it was certified by Inner South London senior coroner Julian Morris.

However, the coroner's office hasn't yet released an official statement.

Sinead's family announced her passing in a statement in July 2023.

The family admitted at the time that they were "devastated" by the news and asked for privacy.

They said: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinead.

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

The singer was found "unresponsive" at a residential property in London, but her death was not treated as suspicious.

Sinead's death came a year after the passing of her son Shane, who took his own life in 2022.

The music star - who changed her name to Shuhada' Sadaqat in 2018, after she converted to Islam - said in her last-ever post on X: "Been living as undead night creature since. He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul.

"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. (sic)"
