Payne had a “toxic cocktail of drugs” in his system when he fell. He was at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Bueno Aires, Argentina on Wednesday, Oct. 16.
Among the drugs were crack and “pink cocaine,” also known as Tusi, ABC reported. This drug is described as a combination of methamphetamine, ketamine, and ecstasy. Benzodiazepine and regular cocaine were also present in Liam Payne’s system.
Along with reporting on the contents inside his system, it was further revealed that the singer had used an improvised aluminum pipe to ingest drugs shortly before his death.
Sources further shared with ABC News that Payne’s body will remain in Argentina until the autopsy is completed. It will then be released to his family.
Just before Liam Payne died, hotel personnel had called 911. They requested help due to a guest being “drunk with drugs and alcohol.”
“We need to send someone with urgency because I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger,” the hotel personnel stated in the 911 call. “Because he is in a room with balcony, and we are afraid he could do something that threatens life.”
Less than 10 minutes later, law enforcement arrived on the scene. They discovered Payne’s body in the inner courtyard of the hotel. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The preliminary autopsy revealed that Payne died of “multiple traumas.” He also had “internal and external bleeding.”
