Drowned in tub due to being too drunk
Sad and scary news, considering this is something that could happen to any of us. It's odd that she was still in her pajamas, so I guess she must've slipped while running the bath? Or so drunk she forgot to take them off.

The Cranberries singer Dolores O’Riordan accidentally drowned in a bathtub after drinking, a coroner’s inquest concluded Thursday.
A police officer told the inquest at Westminster Coroner’s Court that a pajama-clad O’Riordan was found submerged in her bathtub at a London hotel on the morning of Jan. 15.
The 46-year-old singer didn’t leave a note and there was no evidence of self-harm.
Five miniature alcohol bottles and a bottle of champagne were found in the room, and toxicology tests revealed a blood alcohol level four times the legal limit for driving. “Therapeutic” amounts of prescription medication were also found, the inquest heard.
Coroner Shirley Radcliffe said that O’Riordan died from drowning because of alcohol intoxication.
“There’s no evidence that this was anything other than an accident,” she said.

Was actually coming to post this.
You ever been drunk enough to drown in a tub?
ETA: and 5 miniature bottles? How much can that even be?

Can count on one hand, but yes I have. I've never been a get smashed drunk type of drinker, but I have had a few times where I had lost track of my intake and gotten completely wasted.

Wasn't she also on fentanyl? Wonder if mixing the alcohol with that put her into a coma?

She aspired to be like Whitney Houston, I guess.

I had to be woken up to get out of the pool at a party once...

Probably. But also probably too drunk to get into the tub.

That paired with a bottle of champagne? Yeah, you could get that drunk.
5 minature bottles - let's say 50ml in each, 30ml is a "drink" so you are talking 8 drinks. A bottle of champagne you are talking 6 glasses of champagne, so 14 drinks total. Granted those are drinks by official standards which isn't as strong. So maybe 10 drinks. 10 drinks is a frick ton for a female, especially paired with medication.

So, kind of like a zombie? At least in her head?
(at self) ETA: Well, I'm not going to let that linger...

I think what happened was she fell asleep and Freddy got her.

A local fellow had a similar experience recently. It was too late to wake him.
Be careful.

Did you really post that, or was it just my imagination? Or dreams, maybe?

What a waste. I really enjoyed her voice.
