Heartbreak of Stephen Gately's hubby

Sensational statement made by Boyzone star's grieving partner 

HAPPY: Stephen and Andrew

STEPHEN Gately's grief-stricken partner Andy Cowles has spoken movingly of the heartbreak moment he found his lover's body and realised he had lost the Boyzone star for ever.

Official legal documents obtained by the News of the World reveal how internet tycoon Cowles told the Majorca judge investigating Stephen's death: "I saw that he was cold and his lips were blue.
"I shouted at him, 'Darling, wake up!' but he was already dead."
Cowles' official statement also proves that boy band legend Stephen DID take drugs and WAS "very drunk" in the hours before his tragic death.
Today we publish the FULL details of the 33-year-old singer's final night - details that will shock both his family and fans.
Evidence from Stephen's civil partner Cowles reveals he, Stephen and Bulgarian waiter Georgi Dochev were heavily intoxicated when they arrived back at their holiday home in the early hours of October 10.
The testimony sensationally confirms Stephen had drunk at least TWO BOTTLES of wine then "smoked a marijuana joint".
But discrepancies between Cowles' statement and that of Dochev - who the couple met as they toured several gay clubs in the island capital - will heap pressure on the Spanish authorities to reopen their investigation into Stephen's death.
The most glaring difference is the absence in Cowles' statement of any mention of sexual activity at the couple's apartment in Port Andratx. But in Dochev's evidence he said they "were intimate", implying sex involving at least two of the men.
Cowles, 32, also stated that Dochev ASKED to stay at the £1 million flat. But Dochev says he was INVITED back.
In addition, Dochev's statement reportedly stated that it was only Stephen who smoked marijuana. Cowles says both Stephen and Dochev took the drug. Timing is also disputed. Cowles said they returned to the flat at 5.30am, Dochev said they were back well before then and he went to sleep at 5.30am.
Cowles gave his statement to judge Maria del Carmen Abrines Marti behind closed doors at Palma's Court of Instruction No 10 on the Tuesday, just 72 hours after Stephen's death. Speaking through an interpreter, the judge asked a series of questions, the answers forming Cowles' statement.
A source at the court told us: "It's clear from Cowles' evidence he and Stephen started the night sober but drank a lot in the nightclub and by the time they returned to the flat were very drunk.
"He has also confirmed what urine tests revealed - Stephen smoked cannabis that night."
Although Cowles revealed Stephen had already consumed one bottle of wine at dinner before arriving at the Aries nightclub in Palma's gay district at 11.57pm on October 9, he showed no visible sign of being drunk on CCTV footage revealed by the News of the World last Sunday.
The couple left the club after just 36 minutes at 12.33am - again with Stephen appearing sober - and walked 50 yards to the Euphoria nightspot.
After meeting Dochev the trio moved on to the Black Cat club where they drank three bottles of champagne, were given a bag of marijuana and stayed until around 4am before returning to the apartment.
Dochev said in his statement there was then more drinking, sex took place, and at 5.30am he went to a bedroom to sleep leaving Stephen and Cowles on a sofa.
He said he was woken by a doorbell at 10.30am but went back to sleep, waking again half an hour later and spotting Stephen and Cowles still asleep on the settee.
Dochev said he got up for a cigarette thinking that Stephen was still sleeping.
He then heard Cowles go into the other bedroom, so went in and joined him, and did not emerge again until 1pm.
After showering and dressing he sat beside Stephen on the sofa and recognised that something wasn't right.
After alerting Cowles they tried to get Stephen up and wake him, without success.
When they realised he was dead they called the emergency services.
A report filed by two Civil Guard officers reveals they were alerted at 2pm and found Stephen, wearing only a black T-shirt and underwear, with his knees on the ground and sat on his legs slightly inclined towards the left, his head face down on a cushion.
Stephen was officially pronounced dead by Dr Fernando Grau Ferrer at 2.25pm.
