Sinead O’Connor’s Cause Of Death Has Finally Been Confirmed

Sinead O’Connor suffered from a variety of health issues throughout her life. 

O’Connor went on record numerous times to discuss her journey with mental health issues, including bipolar disorder, according to Today. O’Connor also encountered various physical challenges as well. In 2015, O’Connor had a hysterectomy that drove her to a suicide attempt. During an interview with Dr. Phil, O’Connor said, “What kicked all of this off really was, I had a radical hysterectomy in Ireland two years ago and I lost my mind after that” (via USA Today). O’Connor revealed that she wasn’t offered hormone replacement and was only given Tylenol to manage pain. “I was flung into surgical menopause,” she continued. “Hormones were everywhere. I became very suicidal.”

One year later, O’Connor faced a difficult recovery after undergoing surgery to treat a condition of the liver. “Still feeling so miserable from surgery. I don’t recommend it Lost awful lot of blood as liver got cut accidentally so am weak as f***,” O’Connor posted to Facebook (via People). The only bright side appeared to be her response to her eventual hormone replacement therapy, which she was able to obtain from U.S. doctors. “I do recommend hormone replacement. Am different person,” she wrote. “Thank you to doctor here in America. And thank you to my surgeon.”
