Monday,
October 21, 2024 -Liam Payne’s toxicology test results showed that
the former One Direction singer had a cocktail of drugs in his system at the
time of his tragic death.
A partial autopsy found that Payne had substances including cocaine,
crack, and benzodiazepine, which is a type of depressant, in his body when he
fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Oct.
16, sources told ABC News Monday.
The test also found “pink cocaine,” a recreational drug that typically
mixes methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA, and others, per the outlet.
Additionally, an improvised aluminum pipe used to ingest the drugs was
found in Payne’s hotel room, the sources said.
The pop star’s body will remain in Argentina until the full autopsy is
complete.
Payne tragically died last week after falling from the third-story
balcony of his room at CasaSur Palermo Hotel. He was 31.
Local authorities previously told TMZ they believed Payne had been
high on “cristal,” a substance that “causes users to experience extreme
highs and extreme lows, often making them aggressive.”
A preliminary autopsy report showed that the former boy
bander suffered multiple traumas when he fell that led to
internal and external bleeding.
Emergency doctor Alberto Crescenti, meanwhile, shared that Payne
suffered a cranial fracture and “extremely serious injuries that led to his
immediate death.”
He was unable to be revived by first responders.
Following his death, Page Six confirmed alcohol and controlled
substances had been found in his room, which was completely
trashed.Multiple eyewitnesses have said Payne exhibited “disturbing”
behavior in the hotel’s lobby moments before his untimely death.
Payne, who admitted to struggling with
addiction and mental health issues during his time in One
Direction, had been traveling in Argentina with his
girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, just days before he checked into the hotel solo.
Cassidy, 25, mourned her boyfriend’s loss with a touching
statement on her Instagram last Friday.
,“Liam, my angel. You are everything. I want you to know I loved you
unconditionally and completely. I will continue to love you for the rest of my
life. I love you Liam,” she wrote.
Payne’s former bandmates, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis
Tomlinson and Zayn Malik also paid tribute to him in a rare joint message.
“The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever,” the “What Makes You Beautiful” singers said in a statement. “For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you, Liam.”
