After Liam Payne’s autopsy, various drugs were found in his blood. Now his companion AJ Mclean, former singer of the Backstreet Boys, speaks out.
After Liam Payne’s death, initial toxicology tests revealed that the One Direction star had taken several different drugs before falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina, according to US media reports. A drug cocktail called “pink cocaine” was found during a partial autopsy, ABC News and the TMZ portal reported on Monday (local time).
This mix contained, among other things, methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA, the reports said. According to the Argentine public prosecutor’s office, the toxicological tests have not yet been completed.
Payne, 31, fell from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires on Wednesday and died. Investigators said the Brit appeared to have “gone through a phase of drug abuse.” He was alone in his room at the moment of the accident.

Regarding the status of the investigation, the public prosecutor’s office said that investigators were currently examining cell phones, computers and videos from surveillance cameras.

According to US media reports, in addition to methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA, crack and benzodiazepines were also found in Payne’s body. According to ABC News, an “improvised aluminum pipe” was also found in the room where the musician was staying in Buenos Aires – apparently for drug use.
