Liam Payne Had Cocaine, Alcohol, Antidepressant in System When He Died
New details are emerging about the substances present in Liam Payne‘s body at the time of his death last month. Payne had alcohol, cocaine, and a prescribed antidepressant in his system, according to a statement from the prosecutor’s office in Buenos Aires Thursday.
“This conclusion was reached after complete toxicological analysis on urine, blood, and vitreous humor samples, carried out in a very short time,” read the prosecutor’s statement, adding that his family had already been informed of the findings.
The official confirmation comes after local reports, shared by various U.S. outlets, claimed that Payne had so-called “tusi” or “pink cocaine,” a cocktail of drugs that includes MDMA, ketamine, and meth, in his system. But “pink cocaine” (or the drugs that it up) was not mentioned at all in the prosecutor’s latest statement on Thursday.
According to the prosecutor’s research through video footage, documents, and social communications, the singer was supplied with narcotics four times while he was at the hotel between Oct. 13 and 16. The cocaine, alcohol, and antidepressants in his system were consumed by Payne within 72 hours of his death, the report stated.
Prosecutors also revealed Thursday that three people — a friend of Payne, a hotel worker, and an alleged drug dealer — had been charged with supplying the singer with the drugs twice before his death. The friend was also accused of abandonment of a person followed by death. He could face 5 to 15 years in prison.
La Nación reports that the friend had presented himself as Payne’s manager in Argentina, although he was not. Several outlets also reported that he had failed to tell Payne’s family that he was having issues with drugs.
The updates come as Payne’s body was transferred to Great Britain for funeral services. The prosecutor’s office said it was able to do multiple studies on Payne before allowing his father, Geoff, to return with Payne’s body to England.
