The late Boyzone singer Stephen Gately died of natural causes, a post mortem examination in Spain established.

An official said he suffered a pulmonary oedema, which is an accumulation of fluid on the lungs, the BBC reported.

The 33-year-old star was found dead at his holiday home in Majorca on Saturday.

The judge has also authorised Gately's civil partner Andrew Cowles and family to take his body home to Ireland so funeral arrangements can be made.

Cowles was told of the post mortem examination results before the hearing.

The court official said the pulmonary oedema had been "acute".

The Spanish police earlier interrogated Georgi Dochev, the 25-year-old Bulgarian, who was with Gately when he died on Saturday.
