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.
