She had complained of severe headaches and it is understood she might have suffered a brain haemorrhage.
De Paul teamed up with Mike Moran as the UK entry for Eurovision in 1977, staged at Wembley Conference Centre, and finished in second place with Rock Bottom.
Her five top 20 hits also included the theme tune she composed for ITV sitcom No Honestly, which starred Pauline Collins and John Alderton.
Vegetarian de Paul had been seen in recent years in celebrity editions of TV shows such as Come Dine With Me and Cash In The Attic, and she also acted in the Stephen Fry drama Kingdom.
Every time I hear her name I think of the song No Honestly - RIP 
Some of her piano led stuff reminded me of Gilbert O Sullivan
No age at all 
Very sad, far too young. RIP Lynsey de Paul xx
