Fluid In Lungs Is What Killed Stephen Gately

Written by: Jordasche Bledsoe on 14 October 2009 | One Comment |

A few days ago it was believed that ‘The Boyzone’ star Stephen Gately, who died on October 10th, died from complications of drinking in excess.

A close friend had made the following statement regarding the situation:

“The family have been told the most likely scenario is Stephen had a bit too much to drink, vomited in his sleep and choked. It was a terrible accident.”

But actually, according to the autopsy performed and a statement made by the Balearic Islands Superior Tribunal Gately died from fluid in the lungs with no signs of violence to the body.

So sad for anyone to die, but especially someone who was just 33-years-old. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

Life & Beauty Weekly: Expert Q+A

Q: "My co-worker frequently buys me coffee but won’t let me treat her. Should I insist on repaying her? "

A: "This sort of kindness is rare, so it’s natural you’d want to reciprocate. But if you have offered to repay (or treat) her and she resists, there’s no need to insist on giving her money.

Also try not to feel bad that she always pays. Coffee isn’t a big expense, and it sounds like she enjoys treating you. She may do it because she appreciates your friendship or support at work. Or perhaps she likes having an excuse to get out of the office and doesn’t mind shelling out a few extra dollars for you. Regardless, just thank her each time she pays. Then, every once in a while, surprise her with a tin of cookies or muffins. Or once a month or so, tell her you are taking her out for lunch. "

Men’s Life Today: Expert Q+A

Q: "What’s the deal with ingrown hairs? Why do I get them, and more importantly, how do I get rid of them?"

A: "There’s no easy answer as to why you get them. Ingrown hairs are more noticeable in men with really thick hair -- as ingrown hairs are more prevalent in people with thick hair -- or dark hair with light skin. However, there are a couple of key things you can do to heal them and prevent future outbreaks.

First of all, it helps to understand the evolution of an ingrown hair: After hair removal, as the hair starts growing back, the sharp tip of the hair curls back in on itself and digs into the skin, leading to inflammation and irritation. If you do get one, remember this mantra: Put down the tweezers. Plucking ingrown hairs invariably fails and causes additional irritation. Instead, try applying an over-the-counter cortisone cream to help relieve inflammation, then head to a laser dermatologist for laser hair removal (no, not removal of all your hair -- just the problem ones). Realistically, laser’s the only long-term solution for ingrown hairs.

Electrolysis isn’t practical because of the number and thickness of hairs involved. And as for waxing, well, remember the 40-year-old Virgin? Enough said."
