Liam Payne autopsy shows star died of multiple injuries sustained in fall

Liam Payne died of multiple traumas and internal and external bleeding caused by a fall from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, the Argentinian prosecutor’s office has said. An autopsy showed that the pop star’s head injuries were sufficient to cause death.

An investigation – including the interview of five witnesses in an attempt to reconstruct the 31-year-old musician’s final hours – indicated he was alone at the time of the fall. Substances were seized from Payne’s hotel room indicating alcohol and drug consumption.
