Sinead O'Connor's son has died, according to police ... it appears he took his own life, and Sinead is clearly angry at people who were in charge of taking care of the teen.
17-year-old Shane O'Connor apparently was on suicide watch in an Irish hospital just one day before he took his own life, but someone was able to leave. Sinead wrote the day before Shane's body was found, "Like, how has a seventeen-year-old traumatised young person WHO WAS ON SUICIDE WATCH in Tallaght Hospital's Lynn Ward been able to go missing???"
She went on ... "Hospital of course so far refusing to take any responsibility. Anything happens to my son on their watch? Lawsuits."
Police in Ireland issued this statement ... "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."
Sinead's rep confirmed her son's death, and she posted the tragic news as well, saying, "My beautiful son, Nevi'im Nesta Ali Shane O’Connor, the very light of my life, decided to end his earthly struggle today and is now with God."
She goes on ... "May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example. My baby. I love you so much. Please be at peace:"
Police had been looking for Shane since Thursday, with Sinead pleading in a tweet, "Shane, your life is precious. God didn't chisel that beautiful smile on your beautiful face for nothing."

She was a singer from the 80s who ended her career by tearing a photo of John Paul II on Saturday Night Live; back then there were still a lot of Catholics and he was a well-regarded Pope (at the time).
If her son wasn’t dead she wouldn’t be in the news at all; if she was older she’d be included in “celebrities you thought had died already”.
He was on a suicide watch and the hospital either let him leave AMA or discharged him. Keep in mind he was a minor child so I presume some sort of parental permission would have been necessary. This was a major oversight on the hospital’s part.
I am sorry for your loss.
Sinead, this is YOUR son.
Liberals, NEVER AT FAULT.
Always whining.
Never happy.
Ali?
Really? She once started a concert by holding up a picture of the Pope and saying, "This is source of all of our problems", before tearing up the picture.
After 65 posts, no one is asking questions of the FATHER. Where is he and how is he taking his period of mourning?
Oh right!!!
Very sad. As an aunt whose nephew committed suicide, I can tell you that the pain and loss is overwhelming. When a person commits suicide, they see no way out of the problems that beset them. They are obviously unable to be rational; if they were, they would never kill themselves.
SHE probably doesn’t read FR, but you don’t know if her friends or loved ones do. The pain to those in the know makes nasty comments look doubly foolish.
“I’m not seeing what is funny here.”

It’s because there isn’t anything funny here.
Sigh.
Hilarious.
Phil Hartman was golden.
So is she going to rip up another picture of the Pope?
This evening I had a beer with a guy who watched this event live on TV—while the audience had been very friendly up to this point, she was then booed off of the stage.
How far we have fallen in 25 years.
