Sinead O'Connor died aged 56 on July 26, 2023, and now almost two years after her death, her cause of death has been confirmed as well as the huge sum she left in her will

She was found "unresponsive" at her London home, with her cause of death determined as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. Her death certificate cited an "exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma together with low-grade lower respiratory tract infection."

Sinéad O’Connor's unusual final wish to her children has been revealed. The late Irish -born singer and social activist hit some nerves while she was alive, most notably when she tore up a photograph of the Pope during a Saturday Night Live performance in 1992 to protest against abuse in the Roman Catholic Church.

In 2021 she recalled telling her children, "Make sure the record companies don't start releasing my records and not telling you where the money is"

Sinéad O'Connor has left her £1.7million fortune to her three surviving children, with instructions for them to "milk" her music catalogue "for all that it's worth" after her death. The Irish singer's final wishes were revealed in probate records obtained by The Sun newspaper,
