Primarily based on a subsequent post-mortem of the artist, Payne had medication in his system when he plummeted off the balcony — together with one thing referred to as pink cocaine.

Buenos Aires emergency companies chief Alberto Crescenti mentioned that Payne suffered “serious injuries” that have been “incompatible with life” after falling from a third-floor balcony of the CasaSur Palermo Lodge.
“Based on what the team saw, there was apparently a cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death,” Crescenti mentioned. “The team could do absolutely nothing. There was no resuscitation because it was confirmed that he had died.”

“Due to the nice relationship he had with Liam, he requested a automobile via one among these taxi apps all of us use as a result of Liam wished one thing.
“He did him that favor, a massive error because he’s being investigated, and they’re seeing what was transferred in that vehicle.”
