It's been six months since the Southwark Coroner confirmed Shuhada' Sadaqat aka Sinéad O'Connor tragically passed away, at age 56, from 'natural causes' in London on July 26, 2023.
On Saturday, the Irish Independent obtained a copy of the Grammy-winning Irish singer's death certificate, which revealed she died from 'exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma together with low-grade lower respiratory tract infection.'
Sinéad's ex-husband #1 John Reynolds formally registered her death last Wednesday in Lambeth, and it was certified by Inner South London senior coroner Julian Morris.
O'Connor - who still gets 4.8M monthly listeners on Spotify - had been found 'unresponsive' after police were called to her flat in Herne Hill.
The thrice-divorced mother-of-four died 18 months after her beloved 17-year-old son Shane Lunny took his own life in 2022 after escaping hospital.

In her last Tweet, O'Connor posted a photo of Shane and said: 'Been living as undead night creature since. He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul.
'We were one soul in two halves. He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. I am lost in the bardo without him.'
Police were called at just before 11am on July 26 to Ms O'Connor's home in the SE24 area of London, which covers genteel Herne Hill and sits between Brixton and Dulwich.
Notable SE24 residents include actors Mark Rylance, Olivia Colman and James Nesbitt.
It came as MailOnline revealed that Ms O'Connorhad just moved back to Londonat the start of July - calling the city her 'home' - and described her hope and excitement at seeing the ballet and writing new songs in the days before she died.
She also said on Facebook that she wanted to go on tour next year in a buoyant post a fortnight ago declaring: 'The b**** is back', with fans hoping the fragile star was beating the depression and suicidal thoughts that dogged her for so many years, especially after the death of her son Shane last year aged 17.
Tributes poured in for Ms O'Connor after her death was announced in July.
Irish President Michael D. Higgins praised O'Connor's 'extraordinarily beautiful, unique voice' and said he hoped 'her spirit [may] find the peace she sought in so many different ways'.
He said: 'May I send my deepest condolences to Sinéad O'Connor's father John, the members of her family and to all those with whom she shared her life.

'My first reaction on hearing the news of Sinéad's loss was to remember her extraordinarily beautiful, unique voice.
'What was striking in all of the recordings she made and in all of her appearances was the authenticity of the performance, while her commitment to the delivery of the song and its meaning was total.
'To those of us who had the privilege of knowing her, one couldn't but always be struck by the depth of her fearless commitment to the important issues which she brought to public attention, no matter how uncomfortable those truths may have been.
'What Ireland has lost at such a relatively young age is one of our greatest and most gifted composers, songwriters and performers of recent decades, one who had a unique talent and extraordinary connection with her audience, all of whom held such love and warmth for her.
'The way in which she was able to move across the different forms of the arts was a singular achievement, as was the way her voice went around the world and how it was received.
'Her accomplishments included a body of work for film through the production of perfectly chosen and widely acclaimed lyrics.
'Sinéad O'Connor's voice and delivery was in so many different ways original, extraordinary and left one with a deep deep impression that to have accomplished all she did while carrying the burden which she did was a powerful achievement in its own way.
'Her contribution joins those great contributions of Irish women who contributed to our lives, its culture and its history in their own unique but unforgettable ways.
'May her spirit find the peace she sought in so many different ways.'
