O’Connor passed very abruptly, therefore a post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death is likely. Her death in her own house has not yet been officially confirmed.
O’Connor revealed her anticipation and joy at watching the ballet and creating new songs in the days before she died. O’Connor had recently relocated back to London at the beginning of July, calling the city her “home.”
