Liam Payne post mortem results have been released, shedding light on the cause of death and the condition of the hotel room where the tragedy occurred. The former One Direction singer tragically passed away after falling from the third floor of his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The post mortem examination was conducted by specialists at the Forensic Medical Corps at the Judicial Morgue on Viamonte Street. Initial reports indicate that Payne succumbed to “multiple traumas” resulting in both internal and external bleeding.
According to local media reports, the preliminary findings suggest that the severity of the injuries is consistent with a fall from a height of about ten metres, the equivalent of the third-floor balcony where his room was located at the Casa Sur hotel on Godoy Cruz Street. The investigation is expected to include a toxicological analysis of Payne’s blood and urine, along with an examination of his medical history to assess his mental health background.
Following the tragic incident, authorities conducted a search of Payne’s hotel room, where they found various items including a bottle of whiskey, a lighter, and a phone believed to belong to the singer. Investigators noted signs of a disturbance in the room, with a broken television and traces of substances that will undergo further analysis. Additionally, personal belongings such as a notebook and passport were seized for further examination.
Fans of One Direction and Liam Payne gathered outside the hotel to pay tribute to the late singer, leaving candles and singing the band’s songs. Officials from the Mobile Criminalistics Unit of the City Police of Buenos Aires collected evidence from the scene, including fingerprints on various objects. The investigation is ongoing to determine the events leading up to the tragic fall.
Emergency responders, including the country’s emergency medical service director, confirmed the severity of Payne’s injuries, stating that resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful due to the extent of the trauma. The director indicated that the fall likely occurred from a height of 13 to 14 metres, resulting in severe injuries, including a fractured skull base. A detailed autopsy report is expected to provide further insights into the circumstances surrounding Payne’s untimely death.
