Liam Payne reportedly had pink cocaine and other substances in his system at the time of his fatal balcony fall.Last Wednesday (October 16), it was announced that the solo artist and former One Direction member had died at the age of 31 after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Per The Guardian, the Argentinian prosecutor’s office revealed that his cause of death was due to multiple traumas and internal and external bleeding.Sources have now told ABC News that results of a partial autopsy showed he had “pink cocaine” – a drug typically made up of a mix of substances including methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA and others – as well as cocaine, benzodiazepine and crack in his system.

The report went on to allege that a makeshift aluminium pipe had been recovered from the hotel room he was staying in at the time.Elsewhere, a report from TMZ claimed an unspecified bottle of alcohol was allegedly found in Payne’s room.

The publication was recently slammed by Chris Cornell‘s daughter Toni Cornell, following their decision to publish photos of Payne’s hotel room and his body.On her Instagram story, she wrote: “In the wake of Liam Payne’s tragic passing, I feel compelled to speak out about the disgusting, distressing photos released by TMZ including graphic images of his hotel room and body.”TMZ eventually removed the images of Payne after substantial backlash, and have yet to comment publicly on her statement.Payne’s tragic death has triggered conversations about putting more protections in place for young artists, with songwriter Guy Chambers calling on the music industry to stop putting minors in boybands following his passing.
