Liam Payne Dead: Authorities Reveal What They Found Inside Hotel Room

As a longtime fan of boy bands, I was utterly shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Liam Payne. Having followed his career since the days of One Direction, it feels like losing a piece of my childhood.


New details surrounding Liam Payne‘s death have been released by authorities.

Investigators probing the tragic fall of a former member of One Direction from a third-story hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, have found potential evidence of illicit substances and alcoholic drinks within the room, according to a statement from Prosecutor’s Office No. 14 on October 17 (translated from Spanish).

Investigators said they found “several destroyed objects and furniture” in the hotel room as well.

Authorities obtained statements from three hotel employees and two females who had spent hours with Payne in his room prior to his demise, but had departed from the hotel before he passed away, as stated in the release.

Investigators mentioned they will work on understanding the details surrounding Payne’s deadly fall, as well as examining if any external parties played a role in the incidents leading up to his passing.

The medical examiner officially declared that Payne died from severe injuries sustained in multiple traumas (multiple traumatic incidents), which resulted in both internal and external bleeding. This determination was made during an autopsy conducted on the night of October 16, shortly after the singer’s demise, as reported by authorities.

The medical examiners found that the 25 wounds mentioned in the autopsy report match what one would expect from a fall from a significant height. They pointed out that the head injuries were severe enough to lead to the person’s demise, while the internal and external bleeding in the skull, chest, abdomen, and limbs collectively contributed to the cause of death.

Investigators stated they discovered no signs of defensive actions or harm that pointed towards involvement from others. In their public announcement, they mentioned that Payne’s injuries indicated he did not respond with self-defense and might have lost consciousness, either partially or fully.

She hasn’t made any public statements regarding his death, but it’s been reported that Payne’s family is deeply saddened and grief-stricken due to this unfortunate incident.
