Recent reports have revealed that Stephen Gately has choked on his own vomit. His cause of death was over-drinking. It was not an altercation of sorts or a fight. Or, as suspected before, it was not drugs. Not sexual asphyxiation. It was simply too much alcohol. He vomited on the sofa with his head down. The police are currently looking for a Bulgarian guy that was hanging out with them at the time for more questions. Sad story!

It was actually a heart failure caused by a family inherited condition. He died peacfully in his sleep next to his husband Andrew.
