It's so sad... Back in the Boyzone days, I was totally in love with this Irish cutie!!
I just can't believe it has anything to do with drugs, but then, what do we really know about the celebs?
He'll be missed...

I love this quote from the BBC website...unintentionally funny to me..

Uh, no, boys DO die!

An undetected heart problem? Drugs? Could be a few things.
Rondette - lol @ Paul Gambaccini's comment. How silly.

One of my exes died in his sleep. He was only 26. No chemicals involved. Sometimes bad stuff just happens. (Oversimplification much?)

Sudden Adult Death Syndrome?
I knew a guy (well he was only about 20) who randomly died in his sleep. They still don't know what caused it.
