I browsed a few articles and read that she continued touring under her birth name, so that muddles the water a bit. Still, very strange that such an "outspoken, powerful woman who was no stranger to controversy" is called what she was instead of what she changed herself to be.
Yeah she continued to use O'Conner as her artist name. She's also had mental health issues for most of her life, and her son killed himself about a year ago.
I mean, yeah, I would go so far as to say she was largely not sane by the time of converting to towel-headedness... So I would imagine the death of her son was enough to push her over the edge completely...

I'm guessing her death was suicide as well.

As you say, suicide looks pretty likely here.
