Police say that the O'Connor's son took his own life, and that the mother is angry at people who were in charge of taking care of him.
Someone was able to leave the hospital where O'Connor was on suicide watch one day before he took his own life. "How has a seventeen-year-old traumatised young person who was on SUICIDE WATCH in Tallaght Hospital's Lynn Ward been able to go missing???" wrote Sinead on the day before the body was found.
She went on. The hospital has refused to take any responsibility. My son is on their watch. There are lawsuits.
This statement was issued by police in Ireland. The missing person appeal in respect of the man who died in Wicklow 17 years ago has been stood down.
A rep for Sinead confirmed her son's death and posted the sad news on her Facebook page.
She goes on. He may rest in peace and no one will follow his example. My baby is mine. I love you so much. Please be at peace.
The police had been looking for him since Thursday, and he was found. God did not chisel that beautiful smile on your face for nothing.
Her pleas got more desperate. This is a message for my son. It's not funny anymore. You are scaring me. You should present yourself at the station and do the right thing. If you are with him, please call the police. Without you, my world would fall apart. You are my love. Don't stop it from beating. Don't harm yourself. You can go to the Gardai and get to the hospital.
The singer referenced a Bob Marley song. This is for my friend. The light in my life. The lamp of my soul is the lamp of my soul. My baby has blue eyes. You will be my light. We will always be together. No boundary can separate us.
Donal Lunny is a musician. They are no longer together.
The person was 17 years old.
I am sad.
