R.I.P Dolores O'Riordan

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Another one to bite the dust, and a good one as well...
For all of you who didn't know, she was the voice of Cranberries.

2018 is not starting well :urff: :urff:

Very sad. Still no news about how she died

She had bipolar disorder (not that it could lead to her death).

I was no great fan, but her voice and what she did with it was just impressing.

RIP Dolores O'Riordan

I'm guessing it was self-inflicted. :(

I would be very surprised if it was, in fact. She was very enthousiastic about future plans and was just hours before recording sessions.
The police file the case as 'not suspicious' anyway...

not suspicious won't mean that it wasn't suicide though - but no indications that it was anything for police to investigate
i didn't like her voice or her music, but respect is due her for her success and hard work. RIP and thoughts for those that knew and loved her.

i'm guessing early heart attack. if youve no family history of heart disease and you're fairly healthy a weak heart isnt going to be picked up until somethng bad happens. either that or some other undetected instant killer like an aneurysm. i dont believe she was at all suicidal from recent interviews etc.

IF this is a case of selfinflicted death, then fact that there were no signs of suicidal tendencies in recent interviews proves nothing (history knows quiet a few stories like this: cheerful and happy on the outside, deep blue inside).

Plus, as the Net brought this, Dolores had history of attemption to shorten her life, that's why this and bipolar equals assumptions.

Anyhow, however and whatever, thoughts for her filimy, friend, those that knew and loved her.
