This is sad and its even sadder she went all cat stevens. She was on the right path rejecting catholicism but just replaced it with another mass hallucination. Does not say how she died and 56 is not very old and then there is her son…
She was on the right path rejecting catholicism but just replaced it with another mass hallucination
Yet that was her path. Everyone’s path is different, and it’s obvious that Sinead’s relationship with organized religion and mental health was complicated. She was most definitely in search of something greater than herself; if Islam proved to be that path for her then I’m not going to judge her for it. I don’t believe it changed her stance on human rights regardless of the teachings of the more orthodox sects of Islam.
Yeah, just read an article about her death and it was 90% about her son committing suicide last year, about how devastated she was about it, about how she had her own suicide crisis back in 2016, and giving links to 988 and other suicide-prevention hotlines. And ended with “her cause of death is currently unknown.”
Suicide is unfortunately kind of “contagious” so I can understand the extreme hesitancy to come out and state that it happened to someone who has large numbers of fans or is otherwise prominent in the public eye like this.

BBC article dances all around but does not say it was suicide. No outlet has said it was suicide. (It was most probably suicide.)
