Singer Sinead O'Connor safely located after reported missing in Chicago suburb

Singer Sinead O’Connor has been safely located after she was reported missing for 24 hours on Monday morning.

O’Connor went out on a bicycle ride on Sunday morning in a Chicago suburb and did not return, leading someone to call authorities to report her missing.

 

The Wilmette Police Department spent Monday trying to locate the “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer and check on her well-being.

"She is safe and is no longer listed as a missing/endangered person," the Wilmette Police said on Monday afternoon.

She has reportedly been staying in Wilmette with friends for the past few weeks, according to The Wilmette Beacon.

The initial alert classified the Irish artist as “missing suicidal."

Police reportedly focused their seach on hotels, based on O'Connor's history with suicide attempts, according to TMZ — which reported she attempted suicide last November in a Dublin, Ireland hotel.

A 911 call obtained by the gossip site suggested authorities check the local Courtyard Marriott. 

Singer Josh Groban tweeted about O'Connor's well-being after learning that she was missing.
"The demons she battles are no joke," he wrote.
In November, O’Connor posted a harrowing message to Facebook.

"There is only so much any woman can be expected to bear," she wrote. "What was done to me this week was appalling cruelty."

"The last two nights finished me off. 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."

Hours after the post, she was discovered and received medical attention.

The post was one of many detailing her struggles, especially pertaining the custody battle with Donal Lunny over their 11-year-old son, Shane.

She spent the next few weeks in the hospital and continued to post to Facebook that her family wouldn’t be there for her and hardly visited.

O’Connor previously attempted suicide on her 33rd birthday in 1999 and shared with Oprah Winfrey in 2007 that was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

She attempted to take her life again in 2012 and then sought help.

Her most recent Facebook post was on Sunday morning — just a few hours before she was reported missing — where she called for her 28-year-old son Jake to go to court and take custody of her son, Shane, involved in the custody battle.

“Expect to be in trouble,” she wrote. “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.”
