^ It seems to be indeed gaseous.. found this interesting, seems this refers to a discovery from 2011, they indeed found masses of water around a Quasar, heated by what appears to be a black hole at its' center. So useless info unless you do not want to get too close to the event horizon.

"A quasar (/ˈkweɪzɑːr/; also known as a quasi-stellar object, abbreviated QSO) is an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus (AGN), in which a supermassive black hole with mass ranging from millions to billions of times the mass of the Sun is surrounded by a gaseous accretion disk."
