- The report comes as a tribute concert for O'Connor and The Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan is announced
- The singer rose to worldwide fame with her cover of Prince's ballad Nothing Compares 2 U
London's Metropolitan Police had said the singer's death was not considered suspicious after she was found unresponsive at a home in south-east London in July last year.
O'Connor was 56.
The Southwark Coroner's Court confirmed on Tuesday (local time) O'Connor died of natural causes, which means circumstances when an illness or condition is not linked to external forces.
It did not provide further details.
The singer, who began her career performing on the streets of Dublin, rose to worldwide fame with her cover of Prince's ballad Nothing Compares 2 U in 1990.
O'Connor was public about her mental illness and was hospitalised after her teenage son, Shane, died by suicide in 2022.
O'Connor was known for her outspoken political and cultural stances and fierce criticism of the Roman Catholic Church, long before allegations of sexual abuse in the clergy were widely reported.
Thousands of fans lined the streets of her Irish hometown Bray during a funeral procession in August.
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar attended, along with U2's Bono.
The singer had moved back to London before her death, tweeting she had been away from for 23 years.
A tribute concert for O'Connor and The Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan, who died in December, was recently announced for Carnegie Hall on March 20.
