The Spanish authorities have completed their investigation on the sudden death of Stephen Gately last year.  A judge has confirmed that he died of natural causes, a pulmonary oedema, a accumulation of fluid on the lungs.  Source BBC.

This is unlikely to be the end of the Stephen Gately story though.  Gave It All Away is the first Stephen Gately song to be released since his death.  It was obviously recorded before his death but the video was made after and included raw footage of Stephen intermixed with clips with fellow Boyzone band members.  The lyrics of the song have been considered a tragic irony relating to his death.  See the official Boyzone website for more on this video.

According to some reports a tribute concert is planned for the Spring but it has not been announced who the guest stars will be as yet.  Source What’s On TV.

A Bulgarian model, who was “supposed” to be with Stephen Gately and his partner at the time of his death has stated that he knew and had sexual relations with both of them for a number of years.  Source Pink News.  I’m not sure if this story is to be taken seriously and if so who gives a damn about it anyway.

Stephen Gately’s partner Andy Cowles has complained to the Press Complains Commission concerning the awful article Jan Moir wrote just one day prior to his funeral.  The PCC said they wouldn’t take the complaints forward without a family member or one of the band members complaining.  So, now they have I am wondering when this will be addressed by the PCC?

So a heartbreaking story and unfortunately with some controversy too.
