The cause of death was disclosed in O’Connor’s death certificate, which was filed by the late singer’s family earlier this week, according to the Irish Independent. The death certificate was filed a year after O’Connor was found dead at her London flat on July 26th, 2023. At the time of her passing, O’Connor was 56 years old.

 

O’Connor’s death was initially ruled as the result of “natural causes,” but the death certificate provided specific details on the reasons behind her passing. It specifically cites an “exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma together with a low-grade lower respiratory tract infection.”
