AceShowbiz - The tragic demise of former One Direction crooner Liam Payne at just 31 years old has left fans and the music world in shock. Payne died instantly from massive internal and external injuries after falling from his third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Toxicology reports reveal that Payne had multiple drugs in his system at the time of his death, including "pink cocaine", crack, and benzodiazepine.

Pink cocaine, also known as Tusi, is a dangerous cocktail combining methamphetamine, ketamine, and MDMA. This synthetic drug has gained notoriety in recent years, particularly in New York City's club scene.

In addition to Tusi, traces of crack, cocaine, and benzodiazepine were also found in Payne's bloodstream. An aluminum pipe used to ingest these substances was discovered in his chaotic hotel room, which bore signs of destruction and extreme distress.

In the hours preceding his death, hotel staff reported Payne's erratic behavior, including smashing his laptop and offering a mystery woman $20,000. A desperate call to emergency services by the hotel manager highlighted concerns for Payne's safety, fearing his actions were life-threatening due to his drug-induced state.

When authorities arrived minutes later, they found Payne's body in the hotel's courtyard. The preliminary autopsy report by the Argentinian Public Prosecutor's Office concluded that Payne's death was due to multiple traumas and internal and external bleeding, with severe head injuries being particularly fatal. He's suspected of unconscious when plunging to his death.

Liam Payne had battled addiction issues for years. In past interviews, he shared how his struggles with substance abuse led him to two stints in rehab and bouts of suicidal thoughts. His erratic behavior before his death was attributed to the potent drug "Cristal," which reportedly causes extreme highs and lows, leading to aggressive and hallucinatory episodes.

The news of Payne's passing devastated fans and former bandmates alike. Hundreds gathered in a candlelight vigil at Washington Square Park to honor his memory. A joint statement by former One Direction members Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson captured the collective grief, "We're completely devastated by the news of Liam's passing."

As investigations continue and Payne's body remains in Argentina, the world mourns the loss of a talented yet troubled artist whose life was tragically cut short.
