London, UK – The tragic death of pop star Payne, formerly of the boyband One Direction, has sparked investigations by Argentinian authorities into the circumstances surrounding his final days at the CasaSur hotel.
Authorities discovered substances in Payne’s hotel room after his death, along with destroyed objects and furniture. Hotel staff had made distress calls to emergency services regarding a guest who had reportedly consumed excessive drugs and alcohol, leading to destructive behavior in the room.
Toxicology tests conducted by the public prosecutor’s office revealed the presence of alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant in Payne’s system. The post-mortem examination indicated that his cause of death was attributed to multiple trauma and internal and external hemorrhage resulting from a fall from the hotel balcony.
Reports from the medical examiners suggested that Payne may have fallen while in a state of semi or total unconsciousness, ruling out the possibility of a conscious or voluntary act. Authorities have conducted multiple raids on residences in Buenos Aires and are currently examining Payne’s broken laptop and other electronic devices seized during the investigation.
Moreover, over 800 hours of video footage from security cameras in the hotel and public areas have been reviewed, along with testimonies from various individuals including hotel staff, family members, friends, and medical professionals. The singer’s body was released to his family for repatriation to the UK, where further investigations may continue into the tragic events leading to his untimely death.
