Disturbing New Report Reveals Liam Payne’s Blood Alcohol Level Before Tragic Fall.
Liam Payne’s tragic death in October 2024 shocked the world, and new details surrounding the former One Direction star’s passing continue to surface.
A disturbing new report, released by Argentina’s National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office No. 14, has revealed that the 31-year-old singer’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at the time of his fatal fall from a hotel balcony was significantly high, alongside traces of several other substances in his system.
What the Toxicology Report Revealed
According to the report shared last Friday, Payne’s BAC was recorded at “up to 2.7 grams per liter in his blood,” equivalent to a BAC of 0.27%. This level is alarmingly high, more than three times the legal driving limit in the United States. Experts warn that such high levels of alcohol can lead to confusion, disorientation, and dizziness, potentially impairing judgment and coordination.
Along with the high BAC, the toxicology report found traces of cocaine metabolites, methylecgonine, benzoylecgomine, and cocaethylene, as well as the antidepressant sertraline. The presence of these substances indicates that Payne had consumed a mix of drugs in the hours leading up to his death, further complicating the narrative around his tragic fall.
The Chain of Events Leading to the Fall
Details surrounding Payne’s final hours have emerged, shedding light on the chaotic events that preceded his death. Court documents reveal that just hours before the fall, Payne was involved in a drug-fueled encounter with two women he had met through a sex worker website. The women arrived at his hotel room at around 11:30 a.m., where they reportedly found him inhaling a “crystal-like” substance from aluminum foil.
After spending two-and-a-half hours together, Payne allegedly smashed the hotel room TV and demanded the women leave without being paid. These dramatic events were recorded in a 35-page court ruling, which also addressed the legal fallout from Payne’s death.
Legal Proceedings and Charges
In the wake of Liam Payne’s death, five people were initially charged with manslaughter in connection with the incident. The charges were later dropped against Payne’s friend, Rogelio Nores, and two hotel staff members, including the manager and receptionist. The decision to clear these individuals has sparked controversy, and Argentina’s public prosecutors are now considering appealing the ruling.
Public prosecutors have also confirmed they are continuing their investigation into two other individuals accused of selling drugs to Payne before his death. Both face potential prison sentences ranging from four to 15 years if convicted.
A Struggle with Addiction and Mental Health
Liam Payne’s tragic death follows years of public struggle with addiction and mental health issues. In previous interviews and his documentary series, the singer openly discussed his struggles with substance abuse, including alcohol and drugs. His death has now raised further questions about the toll fame and addiction can take on individuals in the spotlight.
Payne’s tragic story is a reminder of the deep mental health issues that often go unnoticed in the public eye, even for those who appear to have it all. Reports have highlighted the possibility of him being in a state of “semi or total unconsciousness” when he fell from the balcony, with prosecutors ruling out the possibility of suicide.
Unanswered Questions and Ongoing Legal Battles
As Liam Payne’s family continues to grieve his loss, legal battles are ongoing. Liam’s friend, Mr. Nores, has filed an £8.1 million defamation lawsuit against Payne’s grieving father, Geoff, after claims were made regarding Nores’ alleged negligence towards the singer.
