The media claim it is suicide. Strangely, her own son at about 17 killed himself too. This suicide story seems improbably....made up. So it is in her reputation anyway...It would be very stupid of O'Connor to have killed herself after her huge talent in this lifetime. maybe she was alone when she died, that is all it means when they say you die of suicide...now that, THAT, I believe. Overdose stories and suicide just means you are turly alone in death with God only. Alone in your mind with Her. Though others may very well find you dead in your bed. This is all illusion everyone...
