The Cranberries singer Dolores O’Riordan died from drowning in a bathtub after drinking too much booze.
According to a coroner’s report, Dolores’ official cause of death was drowning due to alcohol intoxication. The report says a responding police officer told officials Dolores was found submerged in her bathtub in her London hotel on Jan. 15.
Also found nearby … 5 miniature alcohol bottles and an extra bottle of champagne. Toxicology results show she had a blood alcohol level that was four times the legal limit for driving.
Coroner Shirley Radcliffe noted … “There’s no evidence that this was anything other than an accident.” The details of her death eerily came out Thursday, on what would’ve been her 47th birthday.
As we reported … Dolores died earlier this year, a day before she was set to hit the studio and record with a new band. Friends of hers told us they felt she’d been “deeply depressed” at the time, and implied suicide was possibly how she died. Oddly, enough, she sounded cheery on a voicemail to a friend just hours before perishing.
She was laid to rest in Ireland — her home country — where a massive funeral service was held for the pop star.
