[GoldHeart]

[Niamh.]

I didn't know who she was . But watched The One Show and saw they announced her death sad news .You would probably know some of their most famous songs like Linger and Zombie

[Niamh.]

i wonder why she died?

These are only rumours and speculation but I've heard maybe suicide. She split with her husband of 20 years who she lived in Canada with a couple of years ago and apparently took it very bad, moved back to Ireland but her mental health was very bad since I think

[Livia]

So sad and shocked to hear this.

So many talented and creative people battle that, don't they. Tragic.

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Kazanne]

True Livia,when I was a nanny in New York,I looked after two little girls, both happy smiley girls who seemed to have everything ,nice house,nice parents etc,I found out a few years later that one of them had committed suicide ,she had Bipolar but you would never have thought it looking at their childhood,it's a terrible thing to have.

[Marsh.]

Aww so tragic.

Yes, a terrible thing. I know we all get depressed from time to time, and that's bad enough. I have a friend who is bipolar and purposefully doesn't take the meds sometimes because although he gets real highs and horrible lows, he says being on the meds is like being on a monorail. Awful...

The Cranberries front woman Dolores O'Riordan died in January by drowning due to alcohol intoxication, an inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court has heard.

The singer, who died suddenly on 15 January aged 46, was found submerged in the bath in her room at a London hotel.

O'Riordan died as a result of a "tragic accident", the coroner said.

She died after drinking an excessive amount of alcohol, expert witnesses told the court.

The singer had no injuries or evidence of self harm, the inquest was told.

[Nicky91]

Oh wow, I thought it was suicide

[Cal.]

Oh what a horrid way to go :(

[Crimson Dynamo]

Oh wow, I thought it was suicide

I guess she did not care if she did die

[hijaxers]

I guess she did not care if she did die

I think she probably fell asleep and slipped under completely unintentionally.

[Amy Jade]

Incredibly sad. Thoughts are with her family.

The Cranberries has some amazing songs </3

[Niamh.]

I guess she did not care if she did die

That's a bit of a conclusion to come to

[Nicky91]

not only that Niamh, but also a bit rude to say given she struggled with depressions

[Crimson Dynamo]

not only that Niamh, but also a bit rude to say given she struggled with depressions

be quiet Nicky you dont even understand what I posted - stop using a dead lady as a vehicle to bait

[Nicky91]

be quiet Nicky you dont even understand what I posted - stop using a dead lady as a vehicle to bait

yes i did understand it, you said in a way like she did not care if she did die


and i found that coming over rude, given this being said about a sweet classy lady who struggled with depressions, bipolar disorder

[Crimson Dynamo]

That's a bit of a conclusion to come to

4 times over the limit, taking a variety of pills and fully clothed in a bath?

reckless to say the least

[Jordan.]

4 times over the limit, taking a variety of pills and fully clothed in a bath?

oh ok, that makes it sound less accidental then

[Nicky91]

oh ok, that makes it sound less accidental then

either way of how it went, it still is deeply sad, and my thoughts are now more with her family and friends, colleague band members of the cranberries, what they want now mostly is closure, and now we know the cause of death might bring closure to this


her music was what i had loved since my early teens, and i still love listening to this music but now with tears of sadness how tragic Dolores her life had ended

[arista]

If you Drink alot
best not to take a bath.

She sadly drowned

[arista]

oh ok, that makes it sound less accidental then


Sure was

[Maru]

Tell everyone you love them often as you can :love: We just never know...
