The Bulgarian man police wanted to question as part of the investigation into Stephen Gately's death has spoken out about the tragedy, revealing he found the star's body.

Stephen Gately's friend says he "cannot sleep" since finding the singer's body.

Georgi Dochev had returned to the holiday apartment shared by the Boyzone star and his partner Andy Cowles - who he wed in a civil ceremony in March 2006 - after meeting the couple in a gay club in Majorca on Friday (09.10.09). He discovered the 33-year-old singer in a "crouched, prayer position" the following morning.

The 25-year-old Bulgarian said: "I was the one who found him. I am devastated. I came from the bedroom and found him dead and I woke his partner. He was white and very cold.


"I was the one who called the ambulance because Andy was too upset. He was holding Stephen.

"It's awful, I am in shock and I cannot sleep for days. It is really upsetting. I have only known him for a while. I have talked to the police but I cannot speak of other things. I just wish I could have saved him."

Andy has been left devastated by the tragedy and was being comforted by Stephen's bandmates - Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Shane Lynch and Keith Duffy - yesterday (12.10.09).
