The Argentine Police has gone to the hotel in Buenos Aires in which the former member of the group One Direction Liam Payne died after falling from the third floor balcony, according to Corps sources cited by AFP.
Specifically, members of special investigations and technology were sent to the Casa Sur Hotel to seize items that were of interest to the investigation, added this source, who has asked to remain anonymous.
The 31-year-old British pop singer was found dead after hotel staff twice called emergency services to report that a guest “affected by drugs and alcohol” was “destroying” a room.
Payne had spoken publicly about his fight against substance abuse and about how to deal with fame from an early age.
The arrival of the Police at the hotel took place this wednesdaya day after the Argentine Prosecutor’s Office met with the musician’s father, Geoff Payne, and assured him that his son’s toxicology studies had not been released by that institution.

Specifically, they claim, “pink cocaine,” containing methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA, had been found during a partial autopsy. These portals cited anonymous sources familiar with the preliminary evidence.
The Prosecutor’s Office, for its part, has expressed that it has not “disclosed any report specific technical outside the exclusive framework of the investigation and the judicial process corresponding to the case.
Although there is no stipulated deadline for the results of the toxicological analyzes, an official from the Public Ministry has expressed that these could conclude this week.

The autopsy results They have indicated that the singer, 31, was alone at the time of the fall and “was going through an episode of substance abuse.”
