from Wiki:
On 15 January 2018, O'Riordan was found unresponsive in the bathroom of her London hotel room, and was pronounced dead at 9:16 a.m. She was 46.[304][305] An inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court held on 6 September,[306][307] ruled that she died as a result of accidental drowning in a bath following sedation by alcohol intoxication.[306][308] Empty bottles were found in O'Riordan's room (five miniature bottles and a champagne bottle) as well as some prescription drugs. Toxicology tests showed that her body contained only "therapeutic" levels of these medications but a blood alcohol content of 330 mg/dL (0.33%).[306][308]
O'Riordan lived in New York City at the time. She had travelled to London to work with Martin "Youth" Glover on her side-project D.A.R.K. and to meet representatives of the BMG record label about a new Cranberries album.[309][310][311] O'Riordan arrived at the Hilton Hotel on Park Lane, Mayfair, on 14 January.[304] At 2 a.m. on 15 January 2018, O'Riordan had a phone call with her mother.[312] It was later that morning that she was found and pronounced dead.
The day after her death, the tabloid newspaper Santa Monica Observer spread a false story that fentanyl had been found in the room, indicating that London authorities suspected suicide and a "deliberate overdose".[313] The fentanyl overdose rumour endured for months.[314]
The cause of death was not made public for about nine months, until the Westminster inquest.
