The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that a coroner in London ruled on Sinead O'Connor's cause of death as natural causes without providing any evidence or context for this ruling. Secondly, the author commits a hasty generalization when they say that O'Connor was known for her exceptional songwriting abilities and evocative views on politics, spirituality, history and philosophy without providing any examples or quotes from her work to support these claims. Thirdly, the article contains an example of inflammatory rhetoric with the sentence 'Hundreds of people lined the streets to pay tribute to her during her funeral cortege as it drove past her old house in Bray, County Wicklow, in Ireland.' This statement is exaggerated and does not provide any context for why so many people would turn out for O'Connor's funeral. Lastly, there are no examples of dichotomous depictions or formal fallacies present in the article.

The article contains an example of a false dilemma fallacy. The author presents the reader with two options: either O'Connor died of natural causes or her death was suspicious. However, there is no evidence to suggest that her death was anything other than natural and therefore it is not accurate to present these as mutually exclusive options.
The article states that because it has been ruled that O'Connor's death was natural, the coroner has ceased their involvement in her death. This implies a false dilemma between two options: either the coroner is involved or not involved.
