What a shocker !!!!!
Love him or hate him 33 is no age to die.
RIP.
I read The Sun this evening (as I waited for my Chinese takeaway) and saw that, in their usual caring and sensitive way, they had a huge two page spread on the unfortunate death of this young man.
According to The Sun, he had just spent 8 hours downing industrial quantities of booze in a gay night club (“a drink fuelled orgy”) before going home with his husband and a Bulgarian man – presumably for what passes for a nightcap in the circles that he frequents.
It was reported that his husband, overcome with grief, spent several minutes trying to give him mouth to mouth resucitation and cardiac compression to re-start his heart.
In the next paragraph, The Sun said that investigators found him, when they arrived, in a kneeling position with his face buried in a pillow having apparently choked on his own vomit.
Now call me cynical, but how on earth do you give somebody CPR in THAT position.
Of course The Sun wouldn’t make stuff up just to sensationalise matters ………. would they?????
What a bummer.
Some of my texts today have been most inappropriate on this day of national mourning but still..
Michael Jackson was disappointed when Stephen Gately turned up at the pearly gates in heaven last night. He had not heard God correctly and had been waiting for someone from the BOYS HOME to arrive.
Stephen Gately wants his remains to be made into a curry , so he can slip threw someones arse one last time.
ect.
RIP you will be sorely missed :(
On the plus side though, ticketmaster are now doing a special offer of 20% off on Boyzone concerts.
Rip
such a waste of a young life

indeed Sarah..very sad

Yes will, 33 is far too young an age at which to die. However, I think I’ll save my ‘grief’ for all those youngsters who die through no direct fault of their own – i.e. from some form of terminal illness or mown down by a drunken driver etc etc.
Sad though it may be, this guy seems to have brought about his own demise in that (allegedly) he binged on booze and then later choked to death on his own vomit. Totally avoidable.
Incidentally, it appears that the ‘Bulgarian’ bloke that accompanied Stephen Gateley and his husband (Andy Cowles) back home, after their big night out in a Majorcan gay club, was none other than Giorgi Dochev.
Apparently, Giorgi and Andy went to bed together, leaving Stephen alone in the sittingroom (where he died), and it was Georgi who got up first and discovered Stephen’s body.
Maybe if the ‘husband’ hadn’t got carried away in the throes of what passes for passion, Stephen might not have died alone on the sitting room floor. Who knows?
Indeed PB
Yes sad as it is that he died at the young age of 33. It does seem that he was partly reponsible for his own demise. As PB so rightly pointed out too, there are other people of his age, much younger too, who die from things that are way out of their control, so as much as it’s sad that he’s dead, I save my real sympathies for those who deserve it.
Well looking here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8301896.stm there’s the quote
Police said there were “no signs of suspicious circumstances”.
It had been widely reported that Gately and Cowles returned to their luxury holiday apartment with another man.
However, Gately’s family lawyer has now said “there is no indication” that a third man was present.
“There’s certainly no third party involved,” Mr Kean told ITV1’s This Morning on Monday.
He also rejected claims that Gately had been on “an eight-hour drinking binge”, saying the singer had been in Palma for no more than three hours.
“I think all the information that we have would indicate natural causes,” Mr Kean continued.
I find it sad that people don’t think that a person deserves any real sympathy if they are either wholly or partially responsible for their death. Tell that to the parents, family and friends of others who may not be famous but still lost their lives to drink, drugs, suicide, reckless driving and so on. Or to the people who have directly contributed to their own deaths by smoking or obesity…where does the sympathy get given? Where does it get withdrawn? Where do you draw the line?
Whether his death was caused by over indulgence or by other causes, he has still left behind parents, family and real friends who would have expected him to live a much longer life and will miss him.
RIP Stephen and all others who are taken before their time, whatever the circumstances.
