Police have announced the cause of death of the One Direction star. Family members are convinced that Liam Payne could have been saved

Police in Buenos Aires, Argentina, have announced the cause of death of former One Direction member Liam Payne, who died on October 16 after falling from the third floor of a hotel. Officers claim that at the time of his death, the artist was under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs, but they do not confirm his drug use.

According to law enforcement officials, the singer's behavior shortly before the fall was similar to a side effect of a substance called Cristal. According to TMZ, it makes people aggressive.

In the last moments of his life, Liam Payne was really angry, because at that time the hotel staff contacted the police and reported "an aggressive man who may have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol."

"Photos taken of Liam's hotel room show the room trashed, the TV broken, and drug paraphernalia in a room littered with debris. Police say drug use could have been the reason for the mess in his room, and it may also say something about his state of mind at the time of his apparent suicide," the source writes.

Liam Payne jumped from the third floor due to hallucinations. This is the main version of the reason for the singer's suicide, but the investigation is still ongoing. Police are still not sure that there could have been drugs in his room. However, they do not rule out the possibility that someone in the hotel could have supplied him with illegal substances.

Back in the days of One Direction, which was before 2016, the artist had suicidal thoughts and used drugs. However, earlier this year, he claimed to be sober.

Liam Payne's family believes that the singer could have been saved from death. According to them, he promised that he would never commit suicide and was "looking forward to the future."

The Daily Mail, citing his family, reports that some time before the incident, the artist collapsed in the hotel lobby, but no one called an ambulance.

"Liam wasn't supposed to die. Liam didn't want to die. He promised us all that he would never commit suicide. He was looking forward to the future. If someone had called an ambulance when he collapsed in the hotel lobby, instead of taking him to his room and leaving him there alone in a psychotic state, he would still be with us," said a family member, who has not been identified.

The source also notes that Liam Payne was not a drug addict at the time of his death. This is evidenced by the fact that the singer was in Argentina to renew his US visa. A few days before, he had undergone medical and psychological tests that showed he was "absolutely clean" of illegal substances.
