Cranberries star Dolores O'Riordan cause of death released
2018-09-06
Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan accidentally drowned in the bath after a night of heavy drinking alone in her hotel room, an inquest heard today.

The Irish singer was found 'face up in the bath dressed in her pyjamas' fully-clothed in the bath of her room at London's Hilton Park Lane on January 15.

The 46-year-old mother-of-three from Kilmallock, County Limerick, who had battled alcoholism, had drunk spirits and champagne and was four times over the legal drinking limit when she died.

Her inquest was held today at Westminster Coroner's Court on what would have been her 47th birthday. There was no evidence or self-harm and no suicide note in her room.

The inquest heard that there were empty bottles in the room - five miniature bottles and a bottle of champagne.
That and some Lorazepam. Bummer.

And if anyone makes any "berried" jokes, the ghost of Pappy will come back to smite you.

#5  It took eight months to say cardio-vascular failure was the cause?

That poor immemorial chorus,
Henceforth to compete with Dolores!
A huge, pallid thing...
Oh, but how she could sing!
Lord, why did you make her so porous?
