Stephen Gately, who was found dead in his holiday apartment in Majorca, Spain on October 10, is rumored to have passed away 'after chocking on his own vomit after a drinking session.'

New details on Stephen Gately's sudden death have come out. According to Daily Mail, the singer has passed away "after chocking on his own vomit after a drinking session." Moreover, a police investigator informed to the site, "He was in a strange position. He was found squatting down on the sofa almost in a praying position."

Although Stephen's gay partner Andrew Cowles was alone in an apartment in the exclusive resort of Port Andratx in Majorca, Spain when he found the late musician's dead body, Andrew is said inviting a Bulgarian named Giorgio to the building after they met at a gay nightclub on Friday night, October 9. Police is currently trying to find this man as Spanish officer stated, "We do not think this man is involved in any way in Stephen's death but his testimony could prove vital."

Andrew tried to revive him by giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Unfortunately, the Boyzone's member, who was wearing pajamas, had drowned from the fluid on his lungs. A pal said Andrew was in a "terrible state" after the loss and he kept telling his friends, "I can't believe he's gone."

Stephen Gately was found dead at 1:45 P.M. on Saturday, October 10 during his holiday at Majorca, Spain. Gerald Kean, the late star's family friend, claimed he passed away because of natural causes, stating "There's no foul play involved, and it's not suicide. It's just a tragic accident is what we've been told, and we're happy that that is correct information." Meanwhile, an autopsy to Stephen's body is expected to be conducted on Tuesday, October 13.
