After much speculation on the death of the late Stephen Gately, reports have finally surfaced that he did infact die of natural causes, as we reported earlier. Stephen’s family are now allowed to take his body home to Ireland for a funeral.
After a post mortem confirmed pulmonary oedema, which is an accumulation of fluid on the lungs. The family of Stephen Gately have been told they can now take his body home to finally rest in his home of birth — Ireland. Family lawyer Gerald Kean said papers have been signed to allow the release of his body, but added it may be two days before it is returned to Ireland.
According to the BBC, Louis Walsh tried to get the singer to appear on Big Brother, but all Stephen wanted to do was to ’sing in the West End’. The last time the X-Factor judge saw him was at the Pride of Britain Awards last week.
Do you think there was foul play? Still think something happend that hasn’t come to light yet?
