Dolores O’Riordan, the Irish musician who fronted ’90s superstars The Cranberries, has died in London at age 46. Time
Police are not treating the unexpected death of Cranberries lead singer Dolores O'Riordan as suspicious.
O'Riordan died Monday in London at age 46, where she had gone for a short recording session, publicist Lindsey Holmes told USA TODAY.
London police originally told the Associated Press that a woman in her 40s was found dead at the Hilton Hotel in Park Lane, and said the death was being treated as "unexplained." On Tuesday, police told the AP that they had discovered nothing suspicious. Her death is now being turned over to the coroner so the cause can be resolved.
O'Riordan traveled to London to record a rendition of Zombie by the Bad Wolves, a rock band from Los Angeles.
Eleven Seven music label's Dan Waite said he received a voice mail early Monday from O'Riordan in which she expressed excitement about recording her vocals. Waite says the Dreams and Linger singer "sounded full of life, was joking and excited to see me and my wife this week."
In 2014, O'Riordan was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Last May, the singer spoke to The Irish News about her battles with depression, calling it "one of the worst things to go through," but that "I've also had a lot of joy in my life, especially with my (three) children."
