Dolores O'Riordan inquest set for her 47th birthday next month

After being cancelled several times, almost nine months after her death, the inquest to the Irish singer's death is set to take place on the month of her birthday.
UPDATED AUG 21, 2018

The inquest into the death of The Cranberries frontwoman, Dolores O'Riordan, is due to take place on her birthday on September 6, almost nine months after her sudden demise. Dolores would've turned 47 this year. The Irish singer was reportedly found dead in her hotel room at the Hilton in Park Lane, London, on the morning of January 15. Although the inquest was supposed to be carried out four days after her death, it was postponed until April 3 as the Coroner waited for the medical test results. 

The mother-of-three was laid to rest in County Limerick; however, the cause of her death has not yet been revealed. While her death has been deemed non-suspicious by the Metropolitan Police, Stephen Earl, Coroner's officer, said in a statement in January, in court, "This lady was staying at a hotel in central London when on Monday 15 January she was found unresponsive in her room. The London Ambulance Service was contacted and verified her death at the scene. A post-mortem has now been carried out, and the court is awaiting results of various tests that have been commissioned."
