According to a report published by Argentina’s National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office, Liam Payne had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of up to 2.7 grams per liter at the time of his death.
In October 2024, the 31-year-old former member of One Direction fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.
The study, which was released on Friday, February 21, also revealed that Payne had a number of drugs in his blood, including the antidepressant sertraline, cocaethylene, methylecgonine, benzoylecgomine, and cocaine metabolites.
A BAC of 2.7 grams per liter (0.27%), according to the Daily Mail, is much higher than the legal driving limit of 0.08% in the US and can result in serious impairment, confusion, and even death.
