Liam Payne had multiple drugs in system before his death, toxicology report reveals

Liam Payne had multiple drugs in his system before his death last month, a toxicology report has revealed.

The former One Direction member died on October 16 at the age of 31 after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires.

Payne had been in Argentina for the concert of former bandmate Niall Horan, who played in the South American capital on October 2.

The 31-year-old had been staying with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, before she returned to the US two days before his death.

Police confirmed in the aftermath of the incident that they were called to the hotel over reports of an 'aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol'.

Now, a toxicology report has concluded Payne had traces of 'alcohol, cocaine and prescription antidepressant' in his system.

A press release from Argentinian officials stated: "The results of the toxicological studies - already communicated to his family - revealed that, in the moments before his death and in the span of at least his last 72 hours, Payne only had on his body traces of a polyconsumption of alcohol, cocaine and a prescription antidepressant.

"That conclusion was reached after the complete toxicological analyzes on urine, blood and vitreous humor, carried out in a very short time."

On Thursday (November 7), the public prosecutor's office stated that one person had been charged with abandonment of a person followed by death and the supply and facilitation of drugs.

PA also reported that a hotel employee and a third person have also been charged with supplying narcotics.

Prosecutors say one of the suspects is 'the person who accompanied the artist on a daily basis during his stay in the city of Buenos Aires'.

The second suspect is a hotel employee accused of supplying the former One Direction member with drugs, while the third individual charged is an alleged 'drug supplier'.

Prosecutors released a statement with an update, as they stated 'exhaustive and meticulous measures were taken to clarify the circumstances' around Payne's death.

"Based on the evidence gathered and after analyzing the various bodies of proceedings and numerous documentary annexes and the background of the case, prosecutor Andres Esteban Madrea formally charged three people, requesting their questioning and arrest in a 180-page ruling presented last Friday to Judge Bruniard," the press release added.
