The death of 31-year-old Liam Payne, British singer, songwriter, and member of the Anglo-Irish band One Direction, on October 16 in Argentina, has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world. According to TMZ, preliminary autopsy results have now been released.
The toxicology report revealed that several substances were present in Payne’s system at the time of his death, including a drug cocktail known as “pink cocaine,” along with ketamine, ecstasy, cocaine, and crack.
Forensic experts also identified “Crystal,” a methamphetamine variant common in Argentina, in his blood. Additionally, police found a bottle of alcohol and prescription sedatives in his hotel room. The test results indicate that drugs may have played a role in what is being considered a possible suicide.
Photos from the scene reveal the hotel room in disarray, resembling a “pigsty.” The television was smashed, and the room was littered with broken items, white powder, and drug paraphernalia.
Payne’s body will remain in Argentina until the investigation is concluded, according to the report.
