Sudden death syndrome (or something like that) probably or perhaps he had an undiagnosed helath problem.

BOYZONE star Stephen Gately died suddenly yesterday at the age of just 33, the News of the World can reveal.
Last night the cause of his death was unclear.
A close friend said it appeared Stephen died after going out in Majorca, where he was on holiday.
"It looks like he went out for a few drinks, then got back, fell asleep and never woke up," the pal said.
LEAVE YOUR TRIBUTES TO STEPHEN GATELY BELOW
Early this morning Boyzone manager Louis Walsh told us: "We're all absolutely devastated."
"I'm in complete shock. I was only with him on Monday at an awards ceremony. We don't know much about what's happened yet.
"I only heard after The X Factor and we will rally around each other this week. He was a great man."
All four remaining members of Boyzone - who recently reunited - will be flying to Palma, Majorca tomorrow.
Boyzone star Shane Lynch said: "Me and the boys are flying out in the morning.
"We just need to get over to where he's passed and work out what we need to do."
Ronan Keating, who is in Chicago, has been left devastated.
A pal revealed: "Ronan is completely distraught. No-one saw this coming. He loved Stephen like a brother, they were so close, it's absolutely floored him. "It's a massive shock to everyone and no one can take it in yet. He was a man in the prime of his life, and this is a huge tragedy."
He leaves a partner Andrew Cowles, who he married in a civil union in March, 2006.
The gay singer's coming out ten years ago caused a sensation in the pop music world.
Gately joined Boyzone in 1993 after answering an advert in Dublin to audition for Ireland's first boyband.
The band went on to have huge success.
Six of their singles reached number one, including "Stay" in 2001.

I just turned on the TV, and somehow the first place i turned to was Sky News, and found out, Im really gutted! He was far too young to die, his bandmates, family and Louis must be absoloutley devestated.
No doubt there will be a tribute on The X Factor tonight!! It will certianly be brought up, isnt it weird that just last night Louis was bigging up Boyzone and how amazing they were and now this happens!!
RIP Steven :(

Will Louis be at X Factor tonight?
I read he is flying out to Majorca :S

11-10-2009, 09:40 AM
Flying out to Majorca? Really?
Well it does make sense, but if 1 or 2 of the groups end up in the bottom 2 tonight while he's not there, they will be in massive disadvantage.

Somebody came and told us this last night when I was out. It's shocking, and such sad news. So young, and a talented guy. RIP.
Still can't quite believe this ..... only 33 .... unbelievably sad.
My heart goes out to his partner and family - they must be devastated.
R.I.P. Stephen.

Its causw Louis is the manager of boyzone and louis might not even be there. it could change the whole of the results show.
Oh my god! This is awful news, R.I.P.

Thats what scares me most, ever since I was younger Ive always had a phobia of dying in my sleep and the fact that Stephen never woke up after his drinks scares me even more. Its an adult version of Cot Death and its frightening considering we all knew him as a healthy person.

This was on the AOL news too. When i first read it i was like pfft The News of the World have wrote it so its probably not true but now that i've read more into it, it is mor elikely its true. R.I.P.

It's just like I know this is totally selfish but imagine just waking up and finally a person out of your fav band has died. It's like no-one safe and if this happened to one of TT I don't know I'd cope. It;s just so so awful and sad for everyone :(

I really feel for his partner and family mostly! And also his bandmates and Louis.
Especially seeing as his partner was there at the time, he's the only one that could know something as they went out for drinks earlier.

Latest news.
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 today.
The repatriation was given the go ahead after a court hearing established that Mr Gately, 33, died of natural causes.
A court official said a post mortem examination had found that the singer suffered a pulmonary oedema, an accumulation of fluid on the lungs. The underlying cause was not revealed.
