Inside O’Riordan’s Troubled Past

While we wait for the official police report, O’Riordan opened up about her mental health issues a few years ago. In an interview in 2013, the singer revealed that she was sexually abused when she was only five years old. Because of her turbulent home life, O’Riordan suffered through years of depression and anxiety, emotions that also inspired her music.

While O’Riordan dealt with suicidal thoughts in the past, having children helped her cope with life. In fact, she admitted that her children helped her heal and get through her memories of abuse.

O’Riordan’s Sad Tale

O’Riordan also went through a rough time in 2011 when her father passed away from cancer. Three years later, O’Riordan’s marriage to Don Burton, the former tour manager of Duran Duran, fell apart, and the couple filed for divorce.

The pair announced their split shortly after O’Riordan got into a scuffle in an airport. O’Riordan’s mom later revealed that her daughter was participating in counseling sessions with a psychiatrist.

It isn’t known what kind of drugs Dolores O’Riordan was prescribed, but she did attempt suicide by overdose back in 2013.
