Star drowned in bath

THE CRANBERRIES frontwoman Dolores O’Riordan drowned in a London hotel room bath after drinking alcohol, an inquest heard.

The Irish singer, from Kilmallock, Co Limerick, was pronounced dead aged 46 on January 15 at the Hilton Hotel in Park Lane where she had been staying while recording.

Coroner Shirley Radcliffe told an inquest at Westminster Coroner’s Court that the cause of death was drowning due to alcohol intoxication. A COCKAPOO named Corbyn after the Labour leader has topped a public poll.

Jeremy Corbyn finds the name “highly amusing” and has even spoken to his canine namesake via a video call, the dog’s owner and shadow employment minister Mike Amesbury said.

Ginger/red-coated Corbyn was crowned the people’s champion following an online vote ahead of the annual Westminster Dog of the Year competition, which is organised by the Dogs Trust and the Kennel Club and held outside the Houses of Parliament.

Mr Amesbury’s son insisted the cocker spaniel/poodle cross be named after Mr Corbyn following the 2017 election.

Corbyn has a “wonderful temperament”, is “brilliant with people” and is “very, very loving”, he added.

The winners of the main category were border collies Boomer and Corona, owned by Nottingham MP Alex Norris.
