Singer Sinead O’Connor, 55, paid tribute to her son Shane O’Connor, 17, who took his own, at a funeral held Saturday in Dublin, Ireland. He was buried at Newlands Cross Cemetery and Crematorium after a ceremony attended by 50 people, including father Donal Lunny.
According to the Daily Mail, Sinead wore a brightly colored outfit as per her son’s wish. “We just said goodbye to our beautiful angel, Shaney. Very lovely Hindu ceremony. Shane would have loved it,” said the singer.
Shane was found dead on January 7th in Wicklow, Ireland. “My beautiful son Nevi’im Nesta Ali Shane O’Connor, light of my life, decided to end his earthly struggle and is now with God. May he rest in peace and no one follows his example. My baby, I love you so much. please stay in peace,” the singer wrote on social media.
According to the Daily Mail, the young man was missing and had been last seen on January 7. A day earlier, on Twitter, Sinead O’Connor made an outburst on the social network against the hospital where her son was hospitalized after two suicide attempts, and signaled that she would sue the unit for Shane’s disappearance.
Days after the son’s death, the singer was admitted to a hospital after posts in which he talked about blaming himself for the loss of his heir, according to the British newspaper The Mirror.
“I shouldn’t have said that. I’m with the police now on my way to the hospital. Sorry I upset everyone. I’m lost without my son and I hate myself. The hospital will help a little,” she wrote.
Sinead, who is also the mother of Jake Reynolds, Roisin Waters and Yeshua Francis Neil Bonadio, used the networks to criticize the Irish government to take responsibility for the tragedy.
