Abstract: We prove the non-rationality of a double cover of $mathbb{P}^n$ branched over a hypersurface $Fsubsetmathbb{P}^n$ of degree $2n$ having isolated singularities such that $nge4$ and every singular points of the hypersurface $F$ is ordinary, i.e. the projectivization of its tangent cone is smooth, whose multiplicity does not exceed $2(n-2)$.
