“He was cold and white when I found him”
Mystery Bulgarian man found and admits he discovered Stephen Gately dead
The mysterious Bulgarian man who had been at the holiday home of STEPHEN GATELY on the night he died has revealed he discovered his body.
Georgu Petrov Dochev, 25, has been tracked down and has admitted he was with the singer and Andy Cowles at their apartment in Majorca, Spain when Gately died on Saturday - and says he was the one who woke to find him dead.
He reveals he has been suffering insomnia ever since, telling Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "I almost have not slept since this happened.
"I found Stephen dead and I woke Andy. Stephen was white and very cold when I found him. I am still nervous and really upset."
Dochev reportedly met Gately and Cowles in a club called Black Cat and was invited back to their apartment.
Gately's Boyzone bandmates have checked into a Palma, Majorca hotel and have been awaiting the results of the autopsy before helping to ship their dead friend's body back to his native Ireland.
Unofficial reports suggest Gately choked on his own vomit after drinking heavily on Friday night. Police have confirmed there were no signs of violence or drug-taking at the apartment and no evidence of suicide.
