Liam Payne’s death: Toxicology report reveals cocaine, alcohol and antidepressants in his system

The death of Liam Payne came as a huge shock to all music fans as the former One Direction star fell to his death from the balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires. Police raided the room where he was staying minutes before his death and found drugs and alcohol, as well as some broken devices, including a completely smashed laptop.

Liam Payne’s body is on its way to England, where his funeral will be held.

Liam Payne’s death shocked

It took so long for the body to be released after investigation because local authorities wanted to make sure no one else was involved. The toxicology report confirmed that the singer had traces of alcohol, cocaine and prescription antidepressants in his system just before he fell from his hotel room.

According to a statement by the National Criminal and Prison Prosecutor’s Office, full toxicology reports were carried out on the urine, blood and vitreous humor in Liam Payne’s body.

Initial reports suggested that pink cocaine, a mixture of ketamine and other illegal drugs, was found in his system. However, the same issue was not mentioned in the statement.

Has anyone been detained in connection with his death?

Three people were detained in connection with his death, including a hotel worker, a drug dealer and a “friend” posing as Liam Payne’s manager. Payne allegedly spent time with him before his death on October 16.

The other two are accused of supplying Payne with drugs found in his system.

Meanwhile, Liam Payne spoke openly about his mental health struggles before his death. Last year he spoke about his struggles with drinking and suicidal thoughts. He even went to a rehab center to get sober.
