Police say the death of Sinéad O'Connor is not being treated as suspicious following the discovery of her body on Wednesday.
The singer and activist, best known for the song Nothing Compares 2 U, died age 56 at her home in London.
Police say she was found "unresponsive" and "pronounced dead at the scene" at 11:18 BST and her family had been notified.
"A file will be prepared for the coroner," officers added.
An inquest has not been opened, and no medical cause of death has been given.
An autopsy will be conducted with results taking up to "several weeks", London Inner South Coroner's Court has said.
Her family announced the news on Wednesday evening "with great sadness", saying "her family and friends are devastated".
Tributes have been pouring in for Brit and Grammy Award-winning artist, including from singer Annie Lennox , who shared a poetic tribute to O'Connor, calling her "fierce and fragile... impulsive, bold and beautiful... with an incredible voice".
"May the angels hold you in their tender arms and give you rest," she added.
