Dolores O'Riordan's Death Ruled “Tragic Accident”

 

The death of the Cranberries’ singer Dolores O’Riordan this past January was a “tragic accident,” an inquest at Westminster Coroner’s Court has heard. The BBC reports that O’Riordan died by drowning after drinking an excessive amount of alcohol in her hotel bathtub, according to the coroner’s report. O’Riordan, who was 46, had no injuries or signs of self-harm, the inquest was told.

Police who attended the scene of O’Riordan’s death said they found five empty, miniature bottles and an empty bottle of champagne, as well as prescription drug containers with some tablets remaining. Toxicology reports showed only “therapeutic” amounts of medication in her blood, according to the BBC.
