Liam Payne's toxicology report reveals he had 'pink cocaine' and other drugs in his body when he died

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA: Initial autopsy results indicate that Liam Payne had various substances in his system at the time of his death in Argentina, including a drug mixture referred to as "pink cocaine."

Law enforcement sources in Buenos Aires informed TMZ that the toxicology results for the late One Direction singer are available, revealing that he had cocaine and crack in his system when he fell to his death from a third-floor balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Moreover, forensic experts found "Cristal," the Argentinean equivalent of methamphetamine, in Liam Payne's blood. ABC News broke the story first and added that "pink cocaine," ecstasy, and ketamine were among the drugs he had in his system.

Police discovered a bottle of alcohol and prescription medications, specifically anti-anxiety drugs, in Payne's hotel room, as reported by a source from TMZ.

Officials have interviewed a hotel employee suspected of supplying Payne with drugs on the day of his death, according to the Argentinian State Police as reported by ABC News. The employee in question has not been arrested, and no charges have been filed against them currently.

Pictures taken inside Payne's hotel room revealed his TV was smashed, and the room was filled with broken objects and a white powdery substance that appeared to be drug paraphernalia.

The preliminary autopsy report issued by the Argentinian Public Prosecutor's Office concluded that Payne's death resulted from "multiple traumas" and "internal and external bleeding."

The body exhibited twenty-five injuries. According to the report, the head injuries alone were lethal, and the death was attributed to the significant height from which Payne fell.

Addiction specialist explains pink cocaine 

“Pink Cocaine is not cocaine, not at all,” addiction specialist Richard Taite provided exclusive information to Us Weekly on Monday, October 21. “It is mixed with something.”

Taite, the founder and chairman of Carrara Luxury Rehab & Addiction Treatment Center in California, has observed that pink cocaine is similar to MDMA, ecstasy, or Molly “but with psychedelic effects.”

According to Taite, consuming pink cocaine is akin to "taking MDMA, ecstasy, and acid," which is attributed to its distinctive pink coloration.

“Pink cocaine has nothing to do with cocaine. It’s a synthetic psychedelic drug,” Taite emphasized that it is typically found in powder form and possesses “hallucinogenic effects.”

Taite also shared that pink cocaine is a popular drug on the streets along with ketamine and fentanyl.

“It is very addicting, but not as addicting as fentanyl,” he said. “The problem is when they mix the pink cocaine with fentanyl … that is very addictive.”

In the case of Payne’s death Taite says, the effects of pink cocaine being combined with other addictive substances could have led to an overdose before his fall.

Hotel staff call for help as Liam Payne found dead after suspected drug use

The night before Liam Payne died, hotel staff called law enforcement and requested that they "send someone with urgency" because they believed one of their guests to be "drunk with drugs and alcohol."

"We need to send someone with urgency because I don't know if the guest's life is in danger because he is in a room with balcony, and we are afraid he could do something that threatens life," the worker informed the emergency services.

Authorities arrived about seven minutes later and discovered Payne's body in the hotel's inner courtyard. He was declared deceased at the scene, as confirmed by Alberto Crescenti, the director of SAME, Buenos Aires Emergency Medical Services, in a statement to ABC News.

Payne's body will stay in Argentina until the completion of the autopsy.
