Since Liam Payne‘s tragic and unexpected death on October 16, his family, friends, and fans have been waiting to learn the official cause of the singer’s death. Many upsetting rumors and conspiracy theories began circulating immediately following the passing of the former One Direction member. However, Liam Payne’s official cause of death has now been released.
According to TMZ reports, the prosecutor in the case has officially ruled Liam Payne did not die by suicide. It has been determined that Liam’s death was a result of the effects of the drugs that the singer took, causing him to fall to his death from the third-story balcony of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
Payne’s autopsy report indicated that his injuries were consistent with a high fall. The Argentina National Prosecutor’s Office has released a statement regarding the tragic death of Liam Payne, stating that his demise was due to “polytrauma and internal and external bleeding.”
His body bore 25 injuries “compatible with those produced by a fall from height,” including brain and skull injuries deemed “sufficiently suitable to cause death.” The internal and external hemorrhages in his skull, chest, abdomen, and limbs all played a part in his death. It is believed that Liam may have fallen into a state of semi or total unconsciousness prior to his fall.
