Just 4 months after Liam Payne's tragic death, his blood alcohol level has been revealed.
According to the National Office of Criminal and Correctional Prosecution, the 31-year-old singer, who died in Argentina in October 2024, had a blood alcohol concentration of up to 2.7 grams per liter, writes DailyMail.
The report, which was distributed a few days ago, provides disturbing new details about the singer's condition before his fatal fall from the balcony of the hotel where he was staying on vacation.
In addition to alcohol, the toxicology report found traces of several substances in Payne's system, including cocaine metabolites, methylecgonine, benzoylecgonine, cocaethylene, and the antidepressant sertraline, which is often taken for anxiety and depression.
A BAC of 2.7 grams per liter (0.27%) is extremely high, with medical experts warning that such levels can lead to confusion, disorientation, and dizziness.
According to Alcohol.org, a BAC above 0.3% can result in alcohol poisoning and anything above 0.4% can be fatal. To put that in perspective, Payne's BAC was more than three times the legal driving limit in the UK, which is 0.08%.
After his death, initial toxicology results revealed a cocktail of drugs in Payne's system, including traces of cocaine, benzodiazepines, crack cocaine and a dangerous substance known as pink cocaine, a mixture of methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA.
In January, the singer's cause of death was officially announced as 'polytrauma' – a term used to describe the multiple traumatic injuries sustained by the body.
