Former One Direction member Liam Payne reportedly had a lethal mix of substances in his body during his unfortunate fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina last week, according to recent toxicology findings.
The 31-year-old musician sustained fatal internal and external injuries upon impact, and experts believe he might have been unconscious at the time of the fall.
The toxicology analysis indicated that Payne had consumed a perilous assortment of drugs, among them crack cocaine and the synthetic compound known as “pink cocaine” or Tusi, which is a blend of methamphetamine, ketamine, and ecstasy. His system also showed the presence of benzodiazepines and cocaine.
Authorities uncovered a makeshift aluminum pipe, presumed to be used for smoking the drugs nearby.
Witnesses noted Payne‘s erratic behavior in the hours leading up to his death; he was reported to have smashed his laptop and offered $20,000 to a mysterious woman.
Worried hotel staff contacted the Buenos Aires police, alerting them about someone exhibiting drug and alcohol-induced disturbances that posed a threat to their safety.
Photos from Payne‘s hotel room indicated signs of drug use, including burnt aluminum foil and a white powder on a table.
This incident has raised alarm about the rise of pink cocaine, which has recently become popular in New York’s nightlife and is suspected to be linked to drug trafficking by Venezuelan gangs.
