Forums Forums National News Boyzone's Stephen Gately is dead

I just heard this too

Just heard. Very sad news.

wow mad

always sad when someone to young passes away. Apparently he went to sleep after a night out and just didnt wake up. Sad.

Aw no, i wasn't a massive fan but a young man of 33, thats such sad news!

Tragic, at such a young age. RIP Stephen.

If he didnt wake up after a night out, we can assume it was likely to be drugs related.

He never struck me as the type to go mad on drugs,it could be an underlying health problem like a missed anurism or the likes.
What's going on this year though wiki?? Farrah Fawcett,Micheal Jackson,Patrick Swayze snd stephen gaytley.It's been 1 a month since july.
Sad he died at 33.

Shocking news, quite unexpected. RIP.

Sorry mate, but could be anything. My uncle died in his sleep, with no warning ad most probably no suffering, brain annurism. He knew he had it, but many who have them, don't know - he had epilepsy though and because of this they were not able to operate on his brain to remove it, because of the risk of seizure during the operation. He was essentially left living with a ticking time bomb.

My uncle hadnt been drinking the night before (he wasnt a drinker at all due to epilepsy and medication), but he could have been and simply not woken up the next morning. So its quite incorrect to assume anything on the basis of him dying whilst asleep.

Could be the result of a medical condition, whether known or unknown, and it isnt all that rare for people's bodies to simply pass away without just cause either.

RIP

Whoah this has shocked me. Saw it in topic replies+ sed to ova half b4 i told him 'hang on it mite be a joke'
Waited for page to load..and no, its in 'news'
Shocking. Rip stephen

Could have been Sudden Death Syndrome - had a friend with that - she collapsed at Warrington Bank Quay station - never got up. She was only 29.

Or a cardiomyopathy?
Im assuming there will be a postmortem

Might of choked on his own vomit.

Stars tend to that a lot.
