Stephen Gately's civil partner Andrew Cowles has formally complained to the Press Complaints Commission over a Daily Mail article about the singer's death.

According to BBC News, Cowles claims that Jan Moir's column, published in October, breached guidelines on accuracy, intrusion into grief or shock, and discrimination.

Despite Moir later expressing regret over her piece, in which she labelled the Irish star's passing "strange, lonely and troubling", the article prompted a widespread public backlash. A PCC investigation will also consider the 25,000 complaints that followed its publication.

"We're now investigating this complaint which we are taking forward formally and we'll consider it together with the 25,000 complaints as soon as possible," PCC director Stephen Abell said.

Abell added that a full investigation is being launched now because "a connected party" has made a complaint.

The Daily Mail is yet to comment.

Boyzone are reportedly planning to start a foundation in memory of their late bandmate Stephen Gately.

Following Gately's unexpected death in October, the group have apparently been considering a fitting tribute to the singer.

Contactmusic quotes frontman Ronan Keating as saying: "Me and the boys are trying to put something together at the moment. It will more than likely be called the Stephen Gately Foundation.

"We're just working on that at the moment - maybe a scholarship to put children through music college. We definitely want to do something to continue his legacy and carry on his memory as best we can."

Stephen Gately died from an undiagnosed heart condition, a forensic report has revealed.

Scientists at The National Toxicology Institute in Barcelona concluded that the Boyzone star suffered a heart problem caused by atheromatosis, a thickening of arteries, and ruled out drink or drugs as a factor in his death.

The 33-year-old passed away while holidaying with husband Andrew Cowles in Majorca on October 10.

According to a report obtained by The Sun, Gately was dead for eight hours before his body was found and Cowles had slept next to him for three hours.

"There are no indications of a violent death," the report states.

The star's relatives previously revealed that the family had a history of heart problems.

In October, a preliminary pathology report said that Gately died from a build-up of fluid on the lungs and his passing was due to "natural causes".

Meanwhile, Gately's partner Andrew Cowles has formally complained to the Press Complaints Commission over Jan Moir's article about the singer's death in the Daily Mail, claiming that it breached guidelines on accuracy, intrusion into grief or shock, and discrimination.

A celebrity tribute to Stephen Gately is being planned by ITV with a reported budget of £400,000.

]Boyzone will select the stars who will appear on the televised special for their late bandmate and determine what songs they sing, according to The Sun.

A source said: "Everyone is keen for it to be exactly as Stephen would have wanted, so Ronan [Keating] and the rest of the band are having a major input.

"They'll be deciding which celebs are invited to make up the crowd and who'll be singing what. Nothing can ever bring Stephen back but everyone hopes the programme will show what an incredible person he was."

Gately died from heart failure in October at the age of 33 while on holiday in Majorca.
