Fears Grow As Sinead O'Connor Threatens To Jump Off A Bridge

Chicago Police Department received a call from Irish police saying that the 49-year-old contacted her family Thursday evening claiming to be suicidal, TMZ reported.

O'Connor allegedly told relatives that she planned to jump off a bridge in the Chicago area.

A police alert on the Chicago Police Department scanner said: 'The word from the Ireland police sergeant Claire Mulligan, Dublin, Ireland, is saying that at 1530 hours Sinead O'Connor called and said, 'I'm on a bridge in Chicago and I'm going to jump.''

According to TMZ, Chicago police spotted a woman who fit O'Connor's description, but it was not her.

This is not an active search, but officers were told to be on the lookout for the singer, TMZ reported.

It's also unclear if a specific bridge in the Chicago area was named or not.
