Liam Payne had ‘multiple substances in his system’ at the time of death, including this drug

British pop star and former One Direction member Liam Payne had a toxic mixture of drugs in his system at the time of his death in Argentina last week, ABC News reported, citing a toxicology report. The 31-year-old died on October 16 following a fall from the third-floor balcony of his hotel room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Now, a toxicology report revealed that he had "multiple substances in his system" at the time of his death, including a drug known as "pink cocaine".

In addition to pink cocaine - a recreational drug that contains a combination of methamphetamine, ketamine and ecstasy - the drugs detected in Payne's bloodstream included benzodiazepine, crack, and cocaine. The outlet said that a makeshift aluminium pipe for ingesting the substances was also found nearby.

According to witnesses, Payne was acting erratically in the hours before his death. Emergency services were called to the hotel after staff frantically described him as "an aggressive man overwhelmed with drugs and alcohol." Upon entering his hotel room, authorities discovered a chaotic scene,  with broken items and various drugs scattered throughout.
