Liam Payne, the former One Direction singer, had multiple drugs in his system when he fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires, several local and international news outlets have reported.
An initial toxicology report revealed the British singer, who died aged 31, had drugs in his system at the time of death including “pink cocaine,” according to a report from ABC News on Monday, which cited sources.
Despite its name, law officials say "pink cocaine" rarely has any cocaine in it and the pink comes from food coloring.
