Daily Mail are reporting new details on the death of Cranberries singer Dolores O’Riordan in London, England.
The lead singer of The Cranberries was found dead by cleaners in her hotel bathroom, it emerged last night.
Dolores O’Riordan’s body was discovered when staff at the Hilton on Park Lane in London went into her room thinking it was empty.
She was pronounced dead at the scene on Monday morning. Scotland Yard initially said her death was ‘unexplained’ but yesterday ruled that it was ‘not suspicious’.
One hotel worker told the Mail yesterday: ‘The people who found her said they found her in the toilet.
‘I think it was the cleaners who had gone in there because there was no activity around the hallway or from the room. They didn’t say how they found her, this has been kept private.’
Another staff member said: ‘They found her in the bathroom. But the staff that found her have not said anything more, so we don’t know if it’s suicide or what.’
Chris Cornell was discovered in the bathroom of his Detroit hotel room when he died by suicide in May 2017. Elvis Presley was discovered in his bathroom when he died in August 1977, with a popular story being that he may have been on his toilet.
A long-time friend and music producer, who was one of the last people to hear from her, told how she sounded happy and excited in a voicemail message just hours before her death.
Dan Waite, who was involved in the collaboration between her and Bad Wolves, said: ‘She was looking forward to seeing me in the studio and recording vocals.
‘She sounded full of life, was joking and excited to see me and my wife this week. The news of her passing is devastating.’ Dave Davies, former guitarist of The Kinks, also said Miss O’Riordan seemed ‘happy and well’ when he spoke to her before Christmas.
