Cause of death hasnt been made public yet.

Suicide may be a good guess, they may be waiting to notify family before announcing it.

That's sad.
I loved The Cranberries in the 90s.

And talented, too. She was apparently in NY to record something. All seems very sudden.

According to the Irish Times, ORiordans publicist said that her family is devastated to hear the breaking news.

Stongly implies not cancer or other terminal illness.

Suicide is probable, but some sort of vehicular catastrophe or foul play is possible.

Slightly more details at Irish Times
Police in Westminster said they were called to a hotel in Park Lane at 9.05am.

A woman in her mid 40s was pronounced dead at the scene, a police statement said. At this early stage the death is being treated as unexplained.


[...]

It emerged during the trial that ORiordan was suffering from a severe mental illness at the time of the incident. She had no memory of what had happened.

The court was told that ORiordan had been paranoid and delusional and later spent three weeks in St Patricks psychiatric hospital.


Kinda narrows it down, quite a bit.

Thinking this.

Hoping this.

What little details we have certainly point that way:

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/dolores-oriordan-the-cranberries-singer-dead-at-46-w515435
No cause of death was revealed. The Irish Times notes that the Cranberries were forced to cancel tour dates in 2017 due to O'Riordan's ill health; the band cited "medical reasons associated with a back problem." O'Riordan had also been diagnosed as bi-polar in 2014.


Back problems, mental problems... Seems like a recipe for an overdose.

Could be accidental overdose.

does she have a history of prescription pain killer abuse or anything?

it's possible she was using prescription pain meds for her back, developed a tolerance, stopped taking them.. and when she went back took a dose too high because that's what she thought she was used to and OD'd.

that's all just speculation obviously though.

I know it doesn't necessarily rule anything out, but she was tweeting that she was excited to get back in the studio and record again. She was in London for that very reason, so I'd like to think that she wasn't depressed enough to take her life.

That scenario sounds like an OD then. Like an "I haven't used heroin in a while but I'll take the old dose" sort of thing. I know fuck-all about her or the Cranberries though, so I could be way off.

I dont like that people are jumping to conclusions. Sometimes people just die sadly. Even younger people can sometimes die from common illness or stop breathing in their sleep and pass away.

i'm pretty sure everyone is just speculating and not jumping to conclusions. we've listed a lot of ways a 46 year old could go. and even then we're keep saying they're just speculations.

I really liked the song LoveFool from Romeo and Juliet way back when (feels like a lifetime ago, I wasn't even the same person). That's all I remember of the group, but still sucks to hear.

Their biggest 3 songs are pretty much:

Zombie
Linger
Dreams

During the 90s they had a ton of radio play. Shit, Zombie has over 600 million views on Youtube so even today they are still quite popular.
