Liam Payne’s Tragic Fall: He Had Multiple Substances, Including Pink Cocaine At Time Of Death

October 21, 2024: Liam Payne, former member of One Direction, tragically passed away on October 16 after falling from the third-floor balcony of his hotel room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. New details have emerged regarding the cause of his death, with a toxicology report revealing that the 31-year-old singer had “multiple substances” in his system at the time of the incident, including a drug commonly referred to as “pink cocaine.”

According to a report confirmed by ABC News, “pink cocaine” does not actually contain cocaine but is often a mixture of methamphetamine, ketamine, and MDMA, as described by the National Capital Poison Center. Investigators also discovered an “improvised aluminum pipe” in Payne’s hotel room, which was allegedly used to ingest drugs.

Before the fall, hotel staff had already expressed concern for Payne’s behavior. The chief receptionist at the Buenos Aires hotel, identified as “Esteban,” made a 911 call about the singer’s erratic actions. According to Argentine outlet La Nacion, the receptionist reported, “We have a guest who is under the influence of drugs and alcohol. He is conscious but is destroying the room.” Though Payne’s name was not mentioned during the call, the situation had already escalated.

Shortly after the emergency call, Payne fell from his third-floor balcony, leading to his untimely death. The autopsy results confirmed that the injuries he sustained were consistent with a fall from height, with the report detailing 25 injuries to his head, thorax, abdomen, and limbs. The head injuries, along with internal and external hemorrhages, were determined to be the primary cause of death.
