1. I love her voice.

Do we know how she died?

[Ken Burch]

2. They haven't said as yet.

It might be one of those things where they have to wait for test results to come back. Sometimes that can take weeks.

And it may also be that her family believes that it's not the public's business.

[Laffy Kat]

5. I know it's morbid of me, but I always want to know when they die young.

She had a hx of eating disorders, so wondering if it was her heart. Remember Karen Carpenter?

[Ken Burch]

6. It's natural for people to wonder.

4. From NYT

Dolores O’Riordan, the lead singer of the Irish rock band Cranberries, has died in London. She was 46.

Her death was announced by her publicist, who did not specify the cause.

“Irish and international singer Dolores O’Riordan has died suddenly in London today,” the publicist, Lindsey Holmes, said in an emailed statement. Ms. O’Riordan had been in London for a recording session, it said.

The statement said that family members are “devastated to hear the breaking news and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.”

No further details were immediately available.

The band, led by Ms. O’Riordan, rose to fame in the 1990s with songs like “Zombie,” “Linger” and “Dreams.”

Full obit will come later today.

7. I always loved Linger

Even more than most of their later hits, Linger always stuck with me. Her voice is delicate and beautiful on this track. Also, she had the Irishest name ever.

RIP Dolores.

8. Social media here in Ireland suggest it may have been at her own hand. In any case she had her

troubles in life and leaves 3 kids behind. RIP. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam

Meanwhile Shane McGowan remarkably celebrates his 60th year.

11. What did your phrase in Irish say?

It's so sad that she leaves children behind. It's sad that she leaves us at all.

And yes, it is remarkable that Shane McGowan is still with us. Life just doesn't make sense sometimes.

What a loss. RIP Dolores.

12. R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordan!!! I will always remember your lovely voice and your beauty!!!!

[ancianita]

13. Oh no! I will miss her. Thank you for the joy and love you've given the world, dear one.

14. The Cranberries meant a lot to me.

They were a massive part of the soundtrack to my early adulthood. I cannot imagine my life at the time without the Cranberries.

This was also a time of personal upheaval - my first marriage was collapsing, and I was moving between cities. I was transitioning from student through postdoc to professional. Their music was always there.

Farewell Dolores O'Riordan.

15. Oh no!

I love her voice!

16. Good woman. Great loss.

17. Inquest: Cranberries Singer O'Riordan Drowned After Drinking

LONDON (AP) — The Cranberries singer Dolores O’Riordan accidentally drowned in a bathtub after drinking, a coroner’s inquest concluded Thursday.

A police officer told the inquest at Westminster Coroner’s Court that O’Riordan was found submerged in her bathtub at a London hotel on Jan. 15.

The 46-year-old singer didn’t leave a note and there was no evidence of self-harm.

Five miniature alcohol bottles and a bottle of champagne were found in the room, and toxicology tests revealed a blood alcohol level four times the legal limit for driving.

Coroner Shirley Radcliffe said O’Riordan died from drowning due to alcohol intoxication.
