Before dying Liam Payne had also taken, among other substances pink cocaine. This was revealed by an anonymous source cited by TMZ and NBC News, who provides a preview of the results of toxicological tests performed on the body of the singer who died last week in Argentina, after a three-story fall from his hotel room in Buenos Aires. In Liam Payne’s blood, in addition to the aforementioned pink cocaine, traces of crack and benzodiazepines were found. The former One Direction singer, shortly before the tragic fall, was seen in a state of strong agitation. The autopsy revealed that his death was caused by multiple traumas and internal bleeding caused by the impact. Investigations to determine the exact dynamics that led to the 31-year-old’s death are currently underway.

Pink cocaine, what it is and how much it costs
The pink cocaine that was allegedly found in Payne’s body is a drug cocktail containing methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA. It is a very powerful substance and in vogue among young people, even in Italy. THE’Order of Doctors-Surgeons and Dentists (Omceo) of the province of Rome explains in a note: «The new narcotic substance is usually a laboratory phenethylamine (2C-B), but there is no shortage of cases in which the pink food coloring. And “sniff” like cocaine, but there is hardly a trace of the latter substance. It is a drug for wealthy consumers: a gram can cost up to 400 euro and for this reason it has sadly become a status symbol.”
The effects and consumers (also in Italy)
The latest investigations by the Rome Police have intercepted a drug dealing ring that targets, in particular, some neighborhoods in the northern area: Parioli, Salario-Trieste, up to Piazza Bologna. «The customers? Over sixty-five but also young and very young, often minors. A worrying situation, especially because it involves younger people. It is one of the most used substances at the moment and has devastating effects – he explains Antonio Bolognesescientific director of the Commission for the study and prevention of addictions of Omceo Rome – due to the way in which it is taken it has an early activity on the brain, i.e. it immediately creates a sensation of “pleasure”, and is eliminated just as quickly.
But like all narcotic substances it can lead to addiction and psychotic states.”
The clarification from the Argentine prosecutor’s office
The Argentine prosecutor’s office has denied the rumors regarding the outcome of the toxicological and histopathological analyzes carried out on Liam Payne’s body. This was stated in a statement published today at the end of a meeting between the prosecutor leading the investigations, Andrés Esteban Madreaand the father of the former lead singer of the band One Direction, Geoff Payne.
«The representative of the prosecutor’s office informed the father that the toxicological and histopathological studies complementary to the autopsy have not yet been completed», states the note from the judiciary which also specifies that «the prosecutor’s office is not aware to date of other studies or laboratory analysis and has not released any other information corresponding to the case.”
Regarding the investigations, the press release reports that the judiciary informs that «numerous testimonies have been collected to reconstruct the last hours of the victim and the location of the events, a process that still continues with interrogations of hotel staff, acquaintances, technical and medical professionals and other people linked to the victim through personal and work relationships”

What Happened to Liam Payne? A Modern Twist on Tragedy
Welcome, dear readers, to the evening news round-up, where we take a close look at the latest headlines – and by ‘close,’ I mean uncomfortably personal! Today, our hearts go out to the former One Direction star, Liam Payne, who reportedly met his untimely fate after a rather chaotic evening. Not to make light of a tragic situation, but falling from a hotel is a riveting plot twist even Shakespeare couldn’t write. Kudos, Liam, you’ve just gone from boy band heartthrob to a cautionary tale!
According to the latest reports, and we do mean *latest,* indeed, Mr. Payne had consumed ‘pink cocaine’ before his unexpected three-story descent. Now, while that sounds like the name of a new cocktail at a trendy nightclub, it’s actually quite sinister. TMZ and NBC News have just dropped the info like a bad review from Simon Cowell, stating that aside from this colorful concoction, he also had traces of crack and some good old-fashioned benzodiazepines in his system. Quite the cocktail party he was throwing for one!
The Raucous Evening: Soirees and Shenanigans
Sources tell us that just before his rather sudden exit stage left, Liam was seen in a rather agitated state. And who can blame him? I mean, how does one come down from the high of global fame to the realization that ‘pink cocaine’ isn’t a fruity drink? The autopsy revealed multiple traumas and internal bleeding due to the impact of his fall.
Pink Cocaine: The Latest in Luxury Drugs
Now, for those of you who may not be in the loop about ‘pink cocaine’—it’s not your grandma’s party drug! It’s a cocktail of methamphetamine, ketamine, and MDMA. Sounds fancy, doesn’t it? Almost as if it was designed by a Michelin-star chef trying too hard. This drug is being marketed as the glamorous narcotic of choice amongst the youth. In fact, it’s reportedly becoming a *status symbol*—with a gram costing around €400! If you’re paying that much, I’d expect it to come with a complimentary Maserati!
Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number
Interestingly, authorities found that the clientele for this peculiar substance ranges from the sprightly age of 65 to some very young—and worryingly, often underage—consumers. A bit concerning, isn’t it? At this point, I’d suggest we get them an actual party planner instead of a drug dealer. Talk about setting a new bar for birthday bashes!
Hold Your Horses, the Investigation Continues!
Now, down to the nitty-gritty—while some reports have jumped the gun regarding the toxicology results, Argentine authorities are still investigating. This gives you time to pop some popcorn, gather your thoughts, and see how this saga unfolds. Reports state that the prosecutor’s office hasn’t finished the toxicological analyses and is digging deeper with hotel staff interviews. Makes you wonder what the staff were doing while this was happening—should they have been in more training for ‘How to Handle Rockstar Shenanigans 101’?
Final Thoughts: A Grim Reminder
And so we remember Liam not just as a member of One Direction, but as a stark reminder of how quickly things can spiral. The world of fame isn’t all glitz and glamour—it can also sadly lead to moments of utter chaos, mixed with the wrong kind of substances. Let’s raise a glass (of water, please!) to the legacy he leaves behind and hope that this sharp wake-up call knocks some sense into both young party-goers and the celebrities who influence them.
Remember, life is short. Don’t take unnecessary risks, unless you’re a comedian, in which case, risks are our stock-in-trade! Take care out there, folks!
