A preliminary post-mortem examination has revealed the harrowing final moments of Liam Payne before his untimely death at just 31.The former One Direction singer met a tragic end after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Liam had been in the country with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy but passed away alone on October 16. Hotel staff, worried about Liam's well-being that afternoon, called for emergency services after the pop star was seen "acting erratically in the hotel foyer" and "had to be carried back to his room".CCTV footage taken shortly before Liam's fatal fall shows him seemingly under the influence and causing a commotion until hotel personnel stepped in.
The coroner has dismissed any notions of suicide or foul play, while distressing details from the initial autopsy report suggest the singer's mental state during the dreadful incident.The autopsy found that Liam succumbed to "multiple traumas", leading to "internal and external bleeding" caused by the 40-foot drop.
Forensic specialists have stated that "the 25 injuries noted in the autopsy are consistent with those expected from a high fall," reports the Mirror.They noted that Liam had no "defensive type" injuries and that the wounds were "vital and produced at the same time as each other".
