			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s been revealed that Stephen Gately died in October from a undiagnosed heart condition, according to a forensic report.<span id="more-9990"></span></p>
<p>Gately gained fame as a member of the Boyzone band and was on vacation on the Spanish island of Majorca when he died at the age of 33. The cause of death is acute pulmonary oedema, a build-up of fluid on the lungs caused by atheromatosis which is a thickening of the arteries. This is considered quite rare in a person under the age of 50.</p>
<p>The report made it clear he had not been killed by alcohol or drugs. When his civil partner Andrew Cowles discovered Gately, he may have been dead for up to eight hours.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The lead singer of Boyzone has died, and as fans mourn the untimely passing of Irish boy band star Stephen Gately, speculation continues to grow over what may have caused the 33-year-old&#8217;s death.<span id="more-8793"></span></p>
<p>Gately, the first Irish boy band star to &#8220;come out&#8221; during his stint in the band Boyzone, was on vacation in Majorca, Spain, when he was found dead on the sofa at 1:45 a.m. Saturday.</p>
<p>Police were called to his house near Port d&#8217;Andratx Saturday afternoon and said there were no signs of suspicious circumstances but that &#8220;at the moment it is not known how he died.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/stephen-gately-rip-fans-mourn-gay-pop-stars/story?id=8807741" target="_blank"><em><strong>Read more at: abcnews.go.com!</strong></em></a></p>
<p><a href="http://blog.taragana.com/e/2009/10/13/gay-partner-blames-himself-for-stephen-gatelys-death-41612/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>UPDATE from Entertainment Daily!</strong></em></span></a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>The gay partner of Boyzone’s </strong><strong>Stephen Gately who was sleeping in the next room when he died on October 10 has said that he can never forgive himself for the singer’s death. </strong></p>
<p><strong><span id="more-41612"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Andy Cowles expressed his regret to the remaining bandmates, who have flown in to Majorca, over not checking on his lover who allegedly choked on his own vomit after a reported eight hour drinking binge.</strong></p>
<p><strong>He apparently told Ronan Keating and Keith Duffy: “I will never forgive myself for this. He died and I couldn’t help him. I feel like my life is over.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Seemingly, the bandmates tried to console him and make him understand nothing could be done.</strong></p>
<p><strong>“They kept telling Andy that he shouldn’t blame himself &#8211; but he just kept crying his eyes out,” the Mirror quoted an insider as saying.</strong></p>
<p><strong>“The guy is in a deep state of shock and he hasn’t slept for a minute since this tragedy unfolded. He is a total mess and everyone is worried about him.</strong></p>
<p><strong>“They told him that there is nothing he could have done and that he has to stop blaming himself.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>However, 31-year-old Cowles insisted that they were used to partying hard.</strong></p>
<p><strong>“We have had wilder nights out in Dublin and this was nothing out of the ordinary. I just don’t understand it.</strong></p>
<p><strong>“What hurts most is that he was only yards from me in the room next door and I didn’t even know he was slipping away. If only I had gone in to check him.”</strong></p>
<p><strong> Gately died at his apartment in Palma, Majorca.</strong></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bea lived a great and comedic life in the eyes of her fans, who enjoyed every waking moment with her flourished talent, feminist approaches, and eyes of a better life.<span id="more-6560"></span> Her talent and wise outlooks live on, passing off many years and decades of comedy and fulfillment of dreams to the newest generations to come. At 86, she battled cancer, a fight she lost, but a fight she didn&#8217;t give up on. Just as she didn&#8217;t give up on me and you in our fight for equality and femininity and all the blunders that come with it! With that we honor you and thank you Bea! It&#8217;s a fight we will keep endeavoring and hopefully one day, we will see what this fight has to offer when it is ceased!</p>
