Gately’s death remains mystery after postmortem

STEPHEN GATELY died of natural causes, the result of a build-up of fluid on his lungs, but mystery still surrounds the underlying cause of the pop star’s death.

As it was confirmed the Boyzone star will be buried in Dublin on Saturday, an inquest in Spain found he suffered acute pulmonary oedema after falling asleep on his living room sofa following a night out with husband Andy Cowles.

The mystery surrounding the death deepened after officials claimed it was not the result of an alcohol binge but offered no clues about the underlying cause of the oedema.
