While the cause of Stephen Gately's death this weekend is yet to be determined by authorities, new details surrounding the incident have been uncovered. U.K. newspaper Daily Mail reports Spanish police are searching for a third man who was at Stephen's apartment in Majorca, Spain when the singer was found dead.
The man, identified as a Bulgarian named Giorgio, was said to be invited by Stephen and his same-sex partner Andrew Cowles to come to their apartment after they met at a nightclub in Palma on Friday night, October 9. However, it is still unclear whether Giorgio had left the flat before Stephen died. "We do not think this man is involved in any way in Stephen's death but his testimony could prove vital," so confirms a police source.
Stephen Gately was found dead Saturday afternoon, October 10 by Andrew Cowles. At first Andrew thought Stephen fell asleep on the sofa before then realizing that he actually had passed away. Andrew reportedly had attempted to revive the 33-year-old singer, giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but failed.
It is believed that Stephen died after choking on his own vomit following a drinking session, Daily Mail reports. One investigator details, "He was in a strange position. He was found squatting down on the sofa almost in a praying position." Meanwhile, it is reported that autopsy is set to be performed Tuesday, October 13.
Stephen's bandmates from Boyzone; Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham, and Shane Lynch have been photographed arriving at Palma de Majorca international airport on Sunday afternoon, October 11. The foursome has previously revealed in a post on the band's official site their grief upon losing Stephen.
In another related news, Gerald Kean, a lawyer representing Stephen's family has said his close relatives are "devastated" by his death. He adds that the family hopes Stephen's body would be returned to his native Ireland by the end of the week. Plan for a burial is yet to be announced at the time of writing.

ima confused
All gay men can't keep it in their trousers and SG was no angel.
may be his boyfriesnd cheats on him
did anyone remember when said husband attacked stephen in london. stephen was too good for him. he may not have killed him physically but I think he did it mentally.
i still think his so called boy friend had something to do with his death..fance picking up somone else in a bar and taking him home for sex nd left stephen to die..so sad
At this moment everyone knows by the results of the exams to Stephen that he did drink and have some drugs. It`s not proved to be the main reason for his death but it could have enhanced an existent unknown heart problem, or the pulmonar edema. This was confirmed by his husband and by the men with them on that night. As a fan, i`m just sorry that Stephen was alone dying when his husband was with another guy in the same apartment. At this moment, please let us just remember Stephen as a young great talented men and performer. He will be missed for all his fans around the world. Sing for us from above Stephen !
may his music go on !!!
What a helpful comment and how supportive for someone who knows him to have to read it!
dont trust his boyfriend
