Former One Direction singer Liam Payne tragically fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Argentina, with reports indicating that he had multiple drugs in his system at the time of the incident. The initial toxicology report revealed the presence of “pink cocaine,” a recreational drug that typically includes a combination of MDMA, ketamine, and methamphetamine, along with traces of cocaine, methamphetamines, ketamine, MDMA, benzodiazepines, and crack cocaine. Law officials note that “pink cocaine” rarely contains actual cocaine and gets its name from food coloring.
While the final toxicology report is not expected to be released for weeks, the preliminary autopsy results have been detailed in various media outlets. Payne was found to have suffered 25 injuries consistent with a fall from height, with his cause of death listed as polytraumatism and internal and external hemorrhage.
Payne’s former One Direction bandmates expressed devastation at the news, with Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, and Zayn Malik offering heartfelt tributes on social media. Payne had launched a successful solo career after the band’s split, but his tragic death has left fans and fellow musicians mourning the loss of a talented artist. The circumstances surrounding Payne’s death have shined a light on the dangers of substance abuse and the destructive impact it can have on individuals and their loved ones.
