Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor said goodbye to her son Shane, who died at the age of 17.
The young man was found dead yesterday in Wicklow, south of Dublin, two days after the report of his disappearance, which had prompted the Irish police to launch an appeal to the population to find him. He had already manifested suicidal tendencies in the past and had escaped from a psychiatric center where he was under surveillance. Sinéad, who had Shane with folk singer Donal Lunny, broke the news of the death on social media.
“My beautiful son, Nevi’im Nesta Ali Shane O’Connor, light of my life, has decided to put an end to his earthly struggle today and is now with God – he wrote -. Rest in peace and no one follows his example. . My baby. I love you so much. ” Then he wanted to dedicate the song by Bob Marley Ride Natty Ride to him, posting the video. “This is for my Shane – he wrote again -. The light of my life. My blue-eyed baby. You will always be my light. We will always be together. No barrier can separate us.”
