Stephen Gately Dies - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Pszinygv** · 11-10-2009, 08:51 PM

Just seen this, i was shocked to say the least, for those who are wondering wtf is that? Stephen Gately was/is a member of Irish boyband Boyzone and had several number hits over here in the UK, i don't know if they were ever popular abroad though. He was only 33 years old and the whilst circumstances surrounding his death don't look suspicious, the police are unable to say what killed him right now. By all accounts he was kind and gentle man and many thousands of fans who grew up during the 90s listening to Boyzone are no doubt going to be crushed by this news. RIP.

**neirty** · 11-10-2009, 09:15 PM

One word:

Drugs.

**M1zdL0hh** · 11-10-2009, 09:31 PM

One word:

Drugs.

Another is bums

**MidwestMadman** · 11-10-2009, 10:25 PM

Another is bums

And another is infraction...

**Dilangos** · 11-10-2009, 11:58 PM

If it isn't drugs then its pretty tragic. Well, terrible either way but its a bit worrying when people just drop dead at a young age.

**XarokLasa** · 11-11-2009, 12:07 AM

One word:

Drugs.

And you know this because:

a) you're a policeman in the town where he died
b) you work in the mortuary that did an autopsy on him
c) you made it up

**EHjEjdqe** · 11-11-2009, 12:08 AM

What a bummer

. so sad it has to be said he was a nice lad would surprise me if it was drugs [thumbdown].

**BonjGopu** · 11-11-2009, 12:11 AM

Could have been something like acute cardiomyopathy, people who have that condition are often unaware of it and can literally drop dead at any time.

In any case, still speculation until the cause of death is revealed, but yeah drug OD is probable, or a stroke/seizure, who knows.

Or d) I'm making an assumption.

Stop being a tool.

So as a moderator of this site you are condoning the spreading of completely unfounded rumours? I just want to make sure I have that right...

**chelviweeme** · 11-11-2009, 01:48 AM

RIP man, I never knew him but he seemed to be a nice guy.

No. As a moderator of this site I'm also entitled to give my own viewpoint, which is in no way connected with my position and responsibilities as a moderator.

Stop trying to trap me.

**XarokLasa** · 11-11-2009, 02:00 AM

I'm not trying to trap you, but you're still the one that is out of order. How would you feel if a relative / friend of yours died and people started posting accusations of drugs with no basis for doing so?

**Pszinygv** · 11-11-2009, 02:06 AM

It's starting to sound like it was a tragic accident:

Irish solicitor Gerald Kean, a spokesman for Gately's family, said: "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.
"There is nothing untoward, it's not drugs, we don't believe, it's not suicide, it's not murder, it's not a fight. That's what we've been told." He may just have had a few too many drinks and fallen and hit his head or fell asleep in the bath, or something similar.

I think if he'd fallen and hit his head it would be apparent. so unless they're covering that up for now, it's sounding more like he's just dropped dead, like from a brain hemorrhage or something.

**XIMHOTEP-X** · 11-11-2009, 02:34 AM

And another is infraction...

i am so confused... is the word bum objectionable? If so is it only the UK meaning or the US meaning too.

**chelviweeme** · 11-11-2009, 02:43 AM

Please sir can i dig the hole for you?

**XIMHOTEP-X** · 11-11-2009, 02:53 AM

Please sir can i dig the hole for you?

if i get an infraction for that question, then this place has lost all touch with reality.

**Pszinygv** · 11-11-2009, 02:55 AM

You may be unaware that Stephen Gately was gay, so he was inferring it was something to do with his sexual preferences.

EDIT: Incase you didn't know: Bum is the UKs slang for Fanny in the US.
