Autopsy reports have revealed that at the time of his death, Liam Payne was filled with a lethal mix of drugs called “pink cocaine” that a close friend is now suggesting was supplied by hotel workers.
The source points blame at two Casa Sur employees, saying that despite Payne’s efforts to stay clean, they “preyed” on the former member of One Direction and planted recreational drugs in his room.

On October 16, Liam Payne, 31, dropped from the third-floor balcony of the room he was staying at the Casa Sur Hotel in the Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires.
Near his body in the internal courtyard, authorities recovered a whiskey bottle, lighter and cellphone, and his hotel room was “in complete disarray,” with “various items broken.”
Investigators report that packs of clonazepam, a central nervous system depressant, energy supplements and other over-the-counter drugs, were found among his belongings, leading to the belief that the star “was going through some kind of substance abuse episode.”
The circumstances surrounding his death are currently under investigation, with reports revealing possible connections to drug use and external influences.
The presence of drugs in Payne’s system has shocked many, as the singer had reportedly been working on his sobriety in recent months. His family and friends are deeply saddened by the revelations, especially given that Payne had been open about his struggles with addiction and mental health in the past.
“I feel like I’ve got more of a grip on life now and everything that was getting away from me, I just feel like I’ve got more of a handle on it,” Payne said in 2021.
“I just needed to take a little bit of time out for myself actually because I kind of became somebody who I didn’t really recognize anymore. It’s good to be in this position. I definitely don’t need those things anymore. The party’s over.”
But the autopsy, conducted shortly after his death, confirms that the father of one had a cocktail of drugs in his bloodstream called “pink cocaine,” also known as Tusi or Tuci.
Unlike traditional cocaine, pink cocaine is a lethal blend of drugs including MDMA (ecstasy), ketamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, opioids and new synthetic psychoactive substances.
“This combo can trigger side effects that are uncomfortable, scary, or harmful,” according to WebMD. And as its chemical composition is “unregulated in labs,” users may face significant, and potentially deadly side effects, including euphoria, increased alertness and enhanced sensory perception.
The results of Payne’s autopsy are adding a layer of complexity to the ongoing investigation, leaving friends stunned over the findings.
A close friend of the UK-born star reveals that his buddy was winning his battle against substance abuse and “had been clean for weeks.”
“He had been to rehab more than once. He had had treatment in the UK and in California,” the anonymous source tells Mail Online. “And he had recently been taken on by a new psychiatrist in Florida. Everyone around Liam hoped that he was on the path to recovery.”
The friend explains that the former member of the chart-topping boy band was in “Argentina to renew his USA visa where he had to undergo medical examination because of his history with alcohol and drugs.”
“The results of the tests were good. Liam was 100% sober. But when he checked in at the hotel, at some point someone there started giving him drugs.”
“Liam was doing everything to stay clean but as soon as he got to the hotel these people were offering him alcohol and drugs,” he adds.
The outlet reports that police are currently investigating two employees at the hotel – a cleaner and another member of staff – who are suspected of hiding the recreational drugs in a Dove soap box that was found in the star’s room following his death.
Investigators are also looking into a taxi – booked in Payne’s name that night – that traveled 15 miles from the hotel to an address matching one of the suspects, who is believed to have supplied the substance.
“There were two guys at the hotel that were giving Liam drugs. They sent taxis out to collect packages for him. One of the guys was working in the cleaning department. After Liam died, they noticed that one taxi was sent to the cleaner’s home address,” says the friend who prefers to remain anonymous.
“The hotel manager asked him why the taxi had gone to his home and when he couldn’t give an explanation he was fired.”
He adds, “Liam had tried really hard to get clean, then they preyed on him. These people only care about money. They didn’t care about his health.”
Payne’s death is being treating as “inconclusive” until the results of toxicological examinations are available.
Rest in peace, Liam Payne.
