Liam James Payne (born 29 August 1993) is an English singer and songwriter.
He rose to fame as a member of the boy band One Direction.
Payne made his debut as a singer when he auditioned for the British television series The X Factor in 2008. After being eliminated as a solo performer, he auditioned again in 2010 and was put into a group with four other contestants to form One Direction
One Direction star Liam Payne’s initial toxicology report was released on Monday, exposing one or more drugs in his system. The preliminary report "suggested evidence of exposure to cocaine," an official told the Associated Press, before stating that the initial results were not an accurate reading of the amount that was circulating in his blood at the time of his death.
Last week, a preliminary autopsy report revealed that Payne, 31, died from "polytrauma" and "an internal and external hemorrhage" after falling from the third-floor balcony of his hotel in Buenos Aires.
Investigators found narcotics and alcohol inside Payne’s hotel room amid broken objects and furniture, according to the AP. In a separate report, sources told ABC News that the toxicology results showed multiple substances in Payne’s system, including pink cocaine – a combination of various substances such as ketamine, MDMA, opioids and methamphetamine.
Dr. Chris Tuell, clinical director of addiction services at Ohio’s Lindner Center of HOPE, told Fox News Digital that pink cocaine – often called Tusi or Tuci – usually does not actually contain any cocaine.
