A toxicology report reveals that Liam Payne had least six different drugs in his system when he fell to his death from a third-floor balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Oct. 16.
According to multiple news outlets, the 31-year-old former One Direction star had the recreational drug “pink cocaine” (also called “Tusi”) – a combination of methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA and other drugs – as well as benzodiazepine, cocaine, and crack in his bloodstream when he died.
ABC News also reports that an makeshift aluminum pipe, likely used to ingest drugs, was also found in Liam Payne’s room at the Casa Sur Hotel.
Prior to he death from massive internal and external injuries, including a cranial fracture, witnesses reported that Liam Payne had been behaving strangely, smashing his laptop, offering a woman $20,000, and reportedly having to be carried back to his room.
At least one hotel employee called authorities and asked them to “send someone with urgency” prior to Payne’s death.
“We need to send someone with urgency because I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger because he is in a room with balcony, and we are afraid he could do something that threatens life,” the employee said.
Approximately seven minutes later, Liam Payne was found in the inner courtyard of the hotel.
Daily Mail reports that two workers at the hotel have been accused of smuggling drugs to Payne’s suite during his stay there and have been questioned by detectives.
“There were two guys at the hotel that were giving Liam drugs,” a source told the news outlet.
“They sent taxis out to collect packages for him. One of the guys was working in the cleaning department. After Liam died, they noticed that one taxi was sent to the cleaner’s home address.
“The hotel manager asked him why the taxi had gone to his home and when he couldn’t give an explanation he was fired.”
So far no charges have been filed against the hotel employees.
Just days prior to his death, Liam Payne’s ex-fiancee Maya Henry said the singer told her that he was going to die, but that she assumed it was some sort of “manipulation tactic.”
