The official said Mr Gately suffered a pulmonary oedema, an accumulation of fluid on the lungs.
The judge also authorised Gately's partner Andrew Cowles or family to take the body home.
The 33-year-old singer died suddenly on Saturday in Majorca, where he had been on holiday with his partner.
Police had been called to the house on after Gately failed to wake up after a night out in the town.
