The Irish coroner just announced Sinead O’Connor died of natural causes (COPD and asthma – smokers take note). Why did it take them so long to figure that out? Do autopsy results always take over a year? What’s the hold up?

[There’s a really good series showing indepth what goes on after a death.](https://metro.co.uk/2022/10/19/new-tv-show-goes-inside-the-coroners-office-for-the-first-time-17336307/)
It’s very interesting, there’s postmortems to be done, chemical testing of organs/blood/stomach contents (depending on death/suspicions etc)
Talking to people, time lines created, and a whole report written up, and then often a court case to lay all this down, allow families to have a say and such like right at the end, which has to be put in the calender. It’s not unusual to take a while as they do have to be 100% sure that what they say is cause of death, really is.
Some of the cases featured in the Ch5 show is very interesting as it’s not necessarily what you think to begin with.
