Investigation into Liam Payne's Death Continues
The investigation surrounding the tragic death of Liam Payne, the former One Direction member, is ongoing as authorities in Buenos Aires intensify their efforts to uncover the circumstances leading to his demise. Payne, 31, fell from the third floor of the CasaSur hotel on October 16, suffering from multiple traumas and internal injuries. Following his death, police raided the hotel on Wednesday to seize evidence that could provide insights into the events that transpired prior to the incident.
Search for Evidence and Witness Statements
The Buenos Aires police, led by prosecutor Andrés Madrea, executed a search warrant at the CasaSur hotel, where they collected documentation, computers, and security footage. Investigators are focused on reconstructing Payne's final hours, with multiple witness statements already gathered. Preliminary reports indicate that Payne was alone in his room at the time of the fall and was experiencing a crisis related to substance abuse. Items found in his room included alcohol, pills, and substances believed to be drugs, suggesting a chaotic scene leading up to the tragedy.
Autopsy Results and Toxicology Reports
According to the autopsy findings, Liam Payne suffered significant injuries that were consistent with a fall. The results indicated no defensive wounds, suggesting he did not attempt to protect himself during the fall. Toxicology reports are still pending, but initial findings suggest that Payne may have consumed a combination of substances, including
pink cocaine,
a mixture of methamphetamine, ketamine, and MDMA. The investigation is also looking into who may have supplied these substances to the singer, as authorities suspect that drug dealing could have been involved.
