Gately’s body can make final journey home, rules judge

THE body of Boyzone star Stephen Gately can make a final, sad journey home after his death on the island of Majorca, a judge said yesterday following a postmortem examination on the Irish pop star.

Lawyer Gerald Kean, a spokesman for Gately’s family in Ireland, said papers had been signed to allow the release of his body.

But he said it may be two days before it is returned to Ireland.
