The music world remains in a state of shock after the death of the former member of One Direction, Liam Payne. Last week, news of his death broke, paralyzing millions of the band’s fans around the world. The singer, who had achieved global fame as part of a British boy band, died after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina and the recently revealed details about his autopsy have generated commotion both in the music industry and among his followers.
What detail did Liam Payne’s autopsy reveal?
Last Wednesday, Liam Payne died after falling from the third floor of the hotel South House located in the neighborhood of Palermo in the Argentine capital. According to the report of the Forensic Medical Corps, the singer died due to severe multiple trauma, which caused both internal and external bleeding.
In recent hours, disturbing details have been released about the autopsy performed on Liam Payne’s body. The toxicologist Fernando Cardini in an interview with the Argentine media TN, explained how the circumstances surrounding his death are linked to drug use and the fatal fall. According to Cardini, the singer had consumed a “cocktail of chemicals” that severely affected his mental and physical state at the time of his death.
One of the most chilling facts that came to light is that, at the time of the fall, Liam Payne showed no signs of defense. Normally, people who fall from a height instinctively try to protect themselves by extending their hands to cushion the impact. However, the autopsy showed no signs of this reaction in the singer.
“What the forensic doctors said was that he showed no signs of defending himself before the fall. The suicide, before falling, has the instinct to put his hands to protect himself. In intoxication, he reached a degree of unconsciousness. He died from the fall, but the combination was very important,” Cardini explained.
What were the results of Liam Payne’s toxicology test?
The autopsy toxicology report returned disturbing results. Liam Payne had consumed a combination of highly dangerous substances. Among them were cocaine, “pink cocaine”, methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA (ecstasy), benzodiazepines and crack cocaine. This mixture of drugs would have caused a state of unconsciousness such that the singer was not able to react to the imminent danger of the fall.
Fernando Cardini stressed that this drug cocktail is extremely “complicated for any living organism” and that, in Payne’s case, it was a key factor that contributed to his death. The toxicologist also suggested that being in a foreign country may have influenced the concentration of the substances Payne consumed, which could have caused the dose to exceed his usual tolerance. “There was a situation in which the person consumed drugs, but being in a different country, perhaps the drug he bought did not have the same concentration. Perhaps the dose exceeded him,” added the specialist.
What did police find in Liam Payne’s hotel room?
On Tuesday night, the Mobile Criminal Unit team of the Buenos Aires police collected evidence in the Casa Sur hotel room, where Liam Payne was found. During the inspection, several objects were found that could be key to the investigation, such as a bottle of whiskey, a lighter and a telephone that is believed to belong to the singer.
The room showed signs of disarray, with visible damage, including a broken television screen. One of the most notable discoveries was a white powder, which will be sent to a laboratory to determine if it is cocaine. Blisters of medications, such as clonazepam, and energy pills were also found, suggesting possible substance use.
