She was troubled. Hopefully she’s at peace now.

She got a lot of flack in this forum but I was always a fan of her music - I own most of her albums.

She had an incredible voice to go along with a tragic life.

How can you forget the protest I think she did on SNL, or some show.

She definitely had a troubled life, at least at times.

She’s always been troubled. Suicide?

Hopefully yes.
Hollywood and the music industry should pay attention.
Many of them are 1/2 way to the grave already as they are even crazier than her.

At the time, O’Connor said she had torn up the photo to protest sexual abuse of children by the Catholic Church. However, she recently revealed that the story goes much deeper. “My intention had always been to destroy my mother’s photo of the pope,” she said. “It represented lies and liars and abuse. The type of people who kept these things were devils like my mother.”

Honestly, I give her credit for exposing the church's sins. The biggest scandal in my lifetime.

Most of the people I have known who have had troubled lives eventually come to a saving grace in Christ. Her troubles only began if she converted to Islam.

Ordinarily, such articles go into cause of death, or a statement that it’s being investigated, usually in opening paragraphs. This article furiously tap dances right into her career after the first paragraph. Strange.
