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?

Lots of things need to happen, and at each of those stages there is a backlog and delay.
A post mortem may need to be conducted, a specialist toxicologist consulted. Statements need to be written by the involved medical team (which can take months). Then the coroner needs to read it all and decide if a hearing needs to take place, and if so a slot needs to be found.
