Stephen Gately Died From Natural Causes
Filed under: R.I.P.
Boyzone singer Stephen Gately died while at his holiday home in Majorca three months ago and it has been determined by a pathologist that he passed away due to natural causes.
Stephen had been drinking heavily and smoking marijuana shortly before he passed, but neither were attributed to the cause of death.
The autopsy revealed that Stephen had an undiagnosed heart condition that thickened his arteries causing cardiac arrest and ultimately his death. There were no signs of violence or foul play.
We hope this brings his family some peace.

Rip Stephen.
It's always sad when a young person dies
He was such a young guy, it shouldn't have been his time. So sad!
It always sucks when pretty people die.
Well, his family might have had even more peace, had Internet cockroach Perez Hilton not published a salacious article telling the world that Stephen was taking it in both ends in an orgy with a couple of dudes on the same sofa he died on a few hours later. You're a real class act - that's just the visual a grieving parent wants to be left with.
Though neither can be "directly" linked to his death, both heavy drinking and smoking are linked to the heart condition, atherosclerosis (thickening of the arteries), and many other heart conditions that kill people at young ages. So I wouldn't be too comforted.
PEREZ IS NEXT. YOU KNOW THE AUTOPSY REPORT WILL BE A DEFINITE "UNNATURAL" CAUSES.
That was said ages ago!!
@Southernchicka ya but he wasn't a heavy drinker. He said in a interview before he died he only drank on occasion and didn't really like it. I don't think he was a heavy smoker either. I guess it doesn't take much if you have this heart condition. very sad.
Re: xcalibur – totally uncalled for, he might be an ass that tottaly deserved that punch but not so much for him to die.
Maybe ur mom is next.
my husband died from the exact same thing at 34. its called coronary artery disease where the fatty tissue around the arteries block and eventually a blood clot forms and cant pass through the arteries. The coroner told me its the biggest silent killer in men aged 38 and under in the world as it has hardly any symptoms. my husband didnt have any and just died in front of me and my baby
Old news Perez. We knews this MONTHS ago.
Re: marzi77au – i am so sorry, that sounds awful. Also rest in peace Stephen Gately!
don't believe it .. young people just don't die just like that
Re: marzi77au – Wow, really sorry too =( This is pretty scary. So there is no way to detect this? A seemingly healthy young person can drop dead, just like that? How awful. R.I.P. to your husband and Stephen Gately.
Not sure who he is but….RIP.
Re: marzi77au – Bless you and your child that must have been horrendous. Stephen was a sweetheart and a big miss. R.I.P Steo xx
so sad.
R.I.P.
not entirely sure i believe this. and i think it would be better to just say the real cause to warn other people. i could be wrong but i would have to see the actual report before believein this
Re: zach swan – perez never said that. thats garbage. your the one putting that image in people's mind. and puttin up a pic of someone who got a punch is definitely not a sign of a "class act" either. peace out
Are you kidding me??? Sure, he had a pre-existing condition he was unaware of, but to suggest that abusing his body with excessive alcohol and drugs had nothing to do with it is just plain stupid. So if he was just sitting there watching TV, having a quiet night in then he would have just died anyway??? I don't think its a coincidence he had a big night out before this happened.
SAD
Re: zach swan – PEREZ wasn,t the only person to run that story! It was ALL over British tabloids & still is! Their lover just sold a story of how he,d known them for over 2 years!!! SORRY but he drank loads,smoked blow & had a threesome! FACT!
So you see, YOUNG people do die at a young age.
I hope finally people will stop judging why someone died until they hear the final results.
I hope Stephen can finally move on and start enjoying life On The Other Side that is way better than what we have here.
