Autopsy reveals Liam Payne had a cocktail of drugs in his system when he fell to his death 

An autopsy has revealed that One Direction band member Liam Payne had a cocktail of drugs in his system when he fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires Argentina on October 16.

A source told ABC News on Monday that the father of one had various substances including cocaine, crack, and benzodiazepine, which is a type of depressant, in his body before he died.

The source also told the publication that the test also found “pink cocaine,” a recreational drug that typically mixes methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA, and others.

This comes days after Alberto Crescenti, a director of emergency medical response service SAME, informed that Liam Payne sustained serious injuries including a fractured skull after falling to his death from his hotel balcony.
