Liam Payne Had ‘Pink Cocaine’ in His System When He Died (Report)

Liam Payne allegedly ingested “pink cocaine” before he fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires last week, reports ABC News.

Sources tell the outlet that toxicology results from a partial autopsy showed multiple drugs in the One Direction singer’s system, including pink cocaine. The drug cocktail is reportedly a combination of methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA, cocaine, benzodiazepine, crack, and other substances.

Insiders add that an aluminum pipe was found in Payne’s hotel room.

ABC News sources say Liam’s body will stay in Argentina until the autopsy is complete.

A preliminary autopsy report, obtained by Us Weekly last week, stated Liam died from “internal and external” hemorrhages.

The translated document goes on, “No injuries were observed that would suggest the involvement of third parties. The prosecutor’s office indicated that, based on the position in which the body was found and the injuries from the fall, it is presumed that Payne did not adopt a reflexive posture to protect himself and may have fallen in a state of semi or total unconsciousness.”

Police sources told the site that the singer fell, but clarified, “It is not known whether he jumped,” or if the fall was accidental.

Payne was staying at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel at the time of his death. The BBC reports the hotel’s chief receptionist made an urgent call to 911 just before Liam fell.

According to a translated transcript published by BBC, the caller stated, “We’ve got a guest who has had too many drugs and alcohol and, well, when he is conscious, he is trashing the entire room and we need you to send someone, please.”

The chief receptionist continued, “We need you to send someone urgently because, well, I don’t know whether his life may be in danger, the guest’s life. He is in a room with a balcony…”

That call was made at approximately 5:01 p.m., around 10 minutes before Liam fell. 

The New York Post later obtained alleged photos of Liam’s chaotic hotel room. 

The shocking images show a smashed-up TV, foil, white powder, a lighter, and a half-filled champagne glass. In the bathtub, wax and crumpled foil are visible.

Sky News reports authorities also found the highly addictive drug clonazepam aka Klonopin in his room. It is used for things like epilepsy, panic disorders, and muscle spasms, and is known to be used recreationally.

The site adds that Liam’s body was found in the hotel courtyard next to “a bottle of whiskey, a lighter, and a cellphone.”

It is a tragic end to Payne’s life after he shot to fame in 2010 as part of “The X Factor’s” One Direction, alongside Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik. The group went on indefinite hiatus in 2016 after five studio albums and a raft of hit singles.

Liam is survived by his son Bear, 7.
