New details surrounding the demise of British singer, Liam Payne have emerged with the release of a report detailing his alcohol concentration levels and substances found in his system at the time of his fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina last October.
According to the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office No. 14, Payne’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was found to be as high as 2.7 grams per liter.
This equates to 0.27%, a level associated with severe symptoms such as confusion, disorientation, and dizziness. Alcohol.org notes that BAC levels of 0.3% and above can lead to alcohol poisoning, while a BAC of 0.4% is potentially fatal.
The report further revealed that Payne’s system also contained various substances, including cocaine metabolites, methylecgonine, benzoylecgonine, cocaethylene, and the medication sertraline. Toxicology tests confirmed that the former One Direction member had a mixture of drugs in his system at the time of his death, including cocaine, crack, ketamine, and alcohol.
The circumstances surrounding Payne's tragic death are being examined in a new documentary titled "TMZ Investigates: Liam Payne: Who's to Blame?", which is currently streaming on Hulu.
