Liam Payne Had Potent Drug Cocktail In His System At Time Of Death: Report

A toxicology report found a mix of drugs called "pink cocaine" and several other substances during Payne's postmortem.

Toxicology tests for Liam Payne found multiple substances in the singer’s system at the time of his death, according to a report from ABC News.

A preliminary autopsy of the former member of One Direction detected cocaine, crack cocaine and benzodiazepine, a widely prescribed class of sedatives and anti-anxiety medications sold under the brand names Valium, Xanax and Klonopin, among others.

Payne, who was 31 when he fell to his death at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, last Wednesday, also had a recreational drug known as “pink cocaine” in his system.

The drug cocktail, which also goes by the name Tusi, typically comprises a mix of methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA and more, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. In a report last month, the agency warned that the blend of substances was being sold across multiple locations in Manhattan, New York.

Payne’s body will remain in Argentina pending a complete autopsy report, according to sources who spoke to ABC News.
