Former One Direction singer Liam Payne had several drugs in his system, including crack cocaine and methamphetamine, at the time of his tragic fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina, according to anonymous sources familiar with initial toxicology reports. The 31-year-old British artist died last week after falling from a third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires.

Reports from ABC News and TMZ indicate that a mixture of drugs known as “pink cocaine,” which contains methamphetamine, ketamine, and MDMA, was detected during a partial autopsy, along with crack cocaine and benzodiazepines. An anonymous official from Argentina mentioned that while preliminary toxicology results indicated the presence of cocaine, they do not provide a precise measure of how much was in his bloodstream at the time of death. Final toxicology results are expected to take several weeks before being made public.

Investigation Underway Following Liam Payne’s Death

Argentina’s public prosecution service is investigating the circumstances surrounding Liam Payne’s sudden death, a standard procedure for unexpected fatalities. The autopsy concluded that the injuries sustained were consistent with a fall from the hotel window. Prosecutors have ruled out any involvement from other individuals in the incident.

Evidence from the hotel room suggested a chaotic scene, with narcotics and alcohol scattered among broken furniture. Investigators believe that Payne may have experienced a breakdown due to substance abuse just before his fall. Witnesses reported that the hotel manager called 911 shortly before the incident, describing a guest behaving aggressively under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

Authorities are also working to identify the source of the drugs found in Liam Payne’s possession at the CasaSur hotel in the upscale Palermo neighborhood. Police have interviewed multiple hotel staff and two women who visited Payne’s room shortly before his death.

The news of Liam Payne’s passing has led to an outpouring of grief from fans and prominent figures in the music industry. His father, Geoff Payne, is currently in Buenos Aires coordinating with local officials to arrange for the repatriation of his son’s remains. Argentine authorities anticipate releasing the body next week, allowing Geoff Payne to return to England for the funeral, where hundreds of devoted One Direction fans gathered to pay their respects.
