Sinead O’Connor has paid tribute to her son Shane, who she called the "very light of my life" following his tragic death aged 17.
The Irish singer-songwriter said in a moving tribute on Twitter that her "beautiful" son Shane had "decided to end his earthly struggle and is now with God".
She said he was the "very light of my life".
"May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example," the message read.
"My baby. I love you so much. Please be at peace."
The 55-year-old had tweeted during the search for her son, who was reported missing on Thursday.
A huge police search was launched in a bid to find Shane, who was last seen in Tallaght, South Dublin, on Friday.
Police confirmed the sad news of the teenager’s death.
A spokesman told The Sun: “Following the recovery of a body in the Bray area of Wicklow on Friday, 7th January 2022, a Missing Person Appeal in respect of Shane O’Connor, 17 years, has been stood down.”

RIP
Prayers for Shane O’Conner’s soul ....
Poor kid, taking his own life like that.
Any chance that his mom is a certified nut job had something to do with it?
“son Shane had “decided to end his earthly struggle and is now with God”
That sure sounds like a suicide.....hope I’m wrong
what was the “Early Struggle” And I am guessing suicide??
Sounds like suicide but for some reason the Inbred media outlets are not publishing his cause of death.
what was the “Earthly Struggle” And I am guessing suicide??
Yes I assume so
Addiction, maybe?
Nesta is Bob Marley’s middle name.
From everything I know about her, yes, she’s a nutbar. If I was her son I probably would have done the same thing.

2020 - Sinead O’Connor’s Tumultuous Life: In Her Own Words - The singer posted what appeared to be a suicide note on Facebook Sunday evening
https://people.com/celebrity/sinead-oconnor-suicide-attempt-tumultuous-life-in-her-words/
She threatened the hospital on social media where she said her son had been staying ‘with a ‘lawsuit’ if ‘anything happens to my son’.
She wrote: ‘Like, how has a seventeen year old traumatised young person WHO WAS ON SUICIDE WATCH in Tallaght Hosptial’s Lynn Ward been able to go missing???
‘Hospital of course so far refusing to take any responsibility. Anything happens to my son on their watch? Lawsuits.
‘I want to know why Lynn Ward at Taillight Hospital who were supposed to have HCA’s supervise my child 24/7 have managed to let him out of their grasp this morning when 7 days ago he made two severe suicide attempts.’ “
Poor kid didn’t stand much of a chance being born to her.
Yes. I have little sympathy for this nut job as you put it.
From everything I know about her, yes, she’s a nutbar. If I was her son I probably would have done the same thing.
Agreed—not only but for the grace of God go I, but even with the grace of God I likely would.
My parents are not perfect, but they are a great gift that I believe is providentially suited to me.
With the ROP element there always needs to be an element of suicide watch. Those who are firmly grounded in the ROP for one reason, but those who are unmoored from its principles (which are easy enough to become unmoored from) for another—life needs meaning, and without a relationship with a providential God (preferably properly understood, Pax Mohammed—or should I say Pox) the meaning can rapidly drain from life in a way that is hard to bear.
He will take parents into account, how I do not pretend to know.
Being 17 and Irish in 1922 was one thing, being 17 and Irish in 2022 is something very different.
God also gives grace.
Who is the father?
