Inquest finds Dolores O’Riordan’s death was accidental

A coroner’s inquest has found that Dolores O’Riordan, lead singer of The Cranberries, accidentally drowned in a bathtub after drinking.

The inquest was held Thursday, on what would have been O’Riordan’s 47th birthday.

Witnesses said she was found submerged in her bathtub at a London hotel on Jan. 15.

She didn’t leave a note and there was no evidence of self-harm.

Toxicology tests revealed a blood alcohol level four times the legal limit for driving.

Inquests are held in Britain in sudden, violent or unexplained deaths.

At the time of her death she was in London for a recording session and was planning a tour.

The Cranberries formed in Ireland in the 1980s.

The band had international hits in the 1990s with songs including “Dream,” ”Linger” and ”Zombie.”
