Stephen Gately Dies

[Remus]

I don't know, all these papers give out different stories. Last I heard was that he died from the sudden adult death syndrome but who knows?

The results of the postmortem was: natural causes

Looks like he choked on his own vomit, ironic that Boyzone made me and so many other music enthusiasts gag for air.

Autopsy reports yesterday confirmed that Gately suffered an acute pulmonary oedema - or sudden build up of fluid in the lungs - thought to have been caused by a heart attack.

Doesn't look like he choked on his own vomit at all.

I was really upset by this, I met Boyzone a few years ago in Brighton and Stephen was really, really nice.

I'm glad he didn't die from drinking too much.

Being famous should not mean you are idolized when you die. The only time it is appropriate if someone actually contributed something that wasn't selfish to the world. Such as mother teresa.

I don't think anyone said he should be idolized. The reason it's reported on the news when someone famouse dies is a) lots of people know who they are, so lot's of people will want to read/watch about it = more papers sold/more veiwers and b) so that people know that they are dead.

Any what he died of was fliud in the lungs, but i can't remember the actual name for it. It was natural causes.
