Apparently this is what Sinead O’Connor died of, it’s just been announced. But how is a 56 year old just dying in any way natural in this day and age?

It simply means that they died of a cause not resulting from an external source. No injury, not foreign substances, no environmental concerns. Something in their body just stopped working properly and they died as a result. In the case of a coroner’s report, the term can be somewhat subjective.
