Sinead O’Connor Reported Missing, Police Worried for Her Well-Being

Singer Sinead O’Connor has been reported missing. Police in the Illinois suburb of Wilmette are searching for O’Connor and issued a “check for well-being” on Monday morning after she didn’t return from a Sunday afternoon bike ride.

“The Wilmette Police is seeking to check the well-being of Sinead O’Connor,” the department said in a statement obtained by Variety. “O’Connor reportedly left the Wilmette area for a bicycle ride yesterday at 6 a.m. and has not returned. A caller expressed concern for her well-being and no other information is available at this time.”

The singer posted a Facebook message to her family on Sunday around 9 a.m.

“Jake, kindly go to the court on Tuesday and take custody of your brother from Tusla,” she wrote. “My lawyer will be making the illegal way yourself and Donal got him into Tusla (lying to the cops etc) known to the judge. Expect to be in trouble. In fact you’d best bring a lawyer of your own. And do not abandon your brother or any other of my babies again. What you have done to your brother and your mother is LITERALLY criminal.”

O’Connor received medical treatment in November after threatening suicide in a Facebook post, which claimed she took “an overdose.”

“I have taken an overdose. There is no other way to get respect. I am not at home, I’m at a hotel, somewhere in Ireland, under another name,” the Irish singer wrote. “If I wasn’t posting this, my kids and family wouldn’t even find out. Was dead for another fortnight since none of them bother their hole with me for a minute.”

According to TMZ, a police alert described O’Connor as “missing suicidal.” She was reportedly last seen on a motorized bicycle with a pink basket. She was wearing a black parka, black leather pants and a sweatshirt with “Ireland” written on the back.

Arsenio Hall recently sued O’Connor for defamation after she claimed that Hall supplied drugs to the late music icon Prince. The comedian is seeking $5 million in damages.
