Stephen Gately was likely a victim of SADS.

Gillian, that has been my line of thought from the first announcement altho I didn't say anything on the boards till the post mortem details were revealed.

We can only hope that as a legacy of Stephen's death, more publicity still can be given to SADS and maybe Boyzone will help financially towards further research and testing.

I can imagine how this has brought things to the fore for you again, altho I know your Stephen is never far from your thoughts anyway.

I am sure that we were all thinking the same. Poor lad, so tragic as are all the other deaths from this horrible thing.

The only thing good that can come out of this loss, and I do not say that with any malice, is, hopefuly, more awareness. Bless both Stephens, I understand how his family and friends feel, gosh this is tough.

Well, they are saying so many different things, but hey, the poor lad is dead, may he R.I.P. and if it proves to be SADS I hope they make many people aware and do lots of fund riasing for CRY. xx..
