Liam Payne's Cause Of Death Revealed In Preliminary Autopsy

The report comes a day after the former One Direction singer fell from his hotel balcony in Argentina.

A preliminary autopsy report revealed Thursday that Liam Payne, the former One Direction singer who fell from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, died “from multiple traumas and internal and external bleeding.”

The report, from the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office N°14, comes a day after Payne’s death in the Argentinian capital. The circumstances around the 31-year-old’s death are still under investigation, but “everything indicates that the musician was alone when the fall occurred, and was going through some kind of outbreak due to substance abuse,” the office said.

Emergency responders said Wednesday that the English singer fell about 43 to 46 feet from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel onto an internal patio.

According to audio obtained by media outlets, the hotel’s head receptionist called authorities shortly before Payne’s fall to say staff needed assistance with “a guest who has had too much drugs and alcohol.”
