The artist’s son was found dead after escaping from the hospital where he had been admitted after two suicide attempts.
The 17-year-old son of Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor, Shuhada ‘Davitt since he confirmed his conversion to Islam in 2018, was found dead two days after his disappearance, according to Irish police sources.
Shane’s disappearance was made public last Thursday, after the police made an appeal for his location. The adolescent had escaped from the medical center where he was admitted and under surveillance due to the risk of suicide. He was last seen in Tallaght, south of Dublin, and his body was recovered in the Bray area of Wicklow, some 20 kilometers away.
This is a new personal setback for O’Connor, who in 2020 canceled the concert tour that was scheduled for 2021 after making the decision to enter a detox clinic to treat his “addictions and traumas,” as she herself acknowledged . “This year (2020) I have lost someone very dear to me and it has affected me so much that I became addicted to a drug, other than marijuana (a drug to which she has been addicted for more than three decades),” she explained in a tweet.
Accusations against Ireland
I’m going to take private time now to grieve my son. When I am ready I will be telling exactly how the Irish State in the ignorant, evil, self-serving, lying forms of Tusla and the HSE enabled and facilitated his death. Magdalene Ireland never went away. Ask the youth.

The 55-year-old singer used her Twitter account as an official communication tool since the disappearance of her son Shane, one of the four she has. “I have now formally identified the remains of my son, Shane. May God forgive the Irish State because I will never do it “, the artist published less than 24 hours ago, before explaining the reason for these words.
The life of the artist, who now goes by the name Shuhada Davitt, has been marked by tragedy since she was very young, including the death of her mother, her time in institutions for minors and her mental health problems.
O’Connor accuses Tusla, the Irish Family and Child Agency, and the HSE, the public body responsible for providing health and social services in Ireland, of being directly responsible for the loss of her son, who left the Tallaght Hospital’s Lynn Ward in Dublin where he was admitted. “I’m going to take private time now to mourn my son. When I am ready, I will tell exactly how the Irish State in the ignorant, evil, selfish and lying ways of Tusla and the HSE allowed and facilitated his death, “he wrote on the social network. “Too many children are dying under Tusla’s watch,” he has sentenced in another tweet, the last he has published so far.
And any statement out of Tusla suggesting they a) did their best b) care or c) have deepest sympathies for anyone here but their lawyers, is a load of crap trap that has killed too many kids and it isn’t going to wash this time.

Before the confirmation of the death of the minor, O’Connor had also pointed directly to the medical center of which this had been marked. “How could a seventeen-year-old traumatized man, who was on suicide watch, disappear from the Tallaght Hospital’s Lynn Ward?” Asked the voice of iconic themes of contemporary music such as Nothing Compares 2U.
Sinéad O’Connor, 55, also took to Twitter to pay tribute to the teenager, whose father is folk singer Donal Lunny, in a moving message: “My beautiful son, Nevi’im Nesta Ali Shane O’Connor, the light of my life, he decided to end his earthly anguish today and now he is with God ”.
Sinead and Donal split shortly after Shane was born, and the singer has been married four times and has four children.
