On Thursday, Argentinian law enforcement announced multiple arrests linked to Liam Payne’s death. Two individuals, identified as a drug dealer and a hotel maintenance worker, were charged with two acts of supplying narcotics to Payne. A third individual, identified as an Argentinian businessman who had been close to Payne during his stay, was charged with abandonment of a person following death, although he was not taken into custody.

Evidence collected during the investigation included surveillance footage, witness testimonies, and material found within Payne’s hotel room. The police executed raids on multiple locations connected to the accused, gathering more evidence to solidify their case against those who allegedly played a part in the singer’s untimely demise.

In the aftermath of Payne’s death, Argentinian authorities embarked on a comprehensive legal process that involved collecting evidence and witness statements from various sources. The prosecutor’s office detailed that more than 800 hours of security footage were analyzed alongside testimonies from hotel staff, friends, and medical professionals.

The Toxicology Report and Findings

The toxicology report released after the autopsy provided alarming insights into the substances found in Liam Payne’s system. The analysis revealed that Payne had a combination of alcohol, cocaine, and other drugs commonly associated with recreational use. Particularly noteworthy was the mention of “pink cocaine,” a substance known for its dangerous mix of ingredients, including MDMA, ketamine, and methamphetamine. Such substances have a well-documented history of exacerbating risky behaviors and impairing judgment.
