More details surrounding Liam Payne's death have been revealed.

Liam Payne had multiple substances in his system at the time of his fatal fall from the third-floor balcony of a hotel room in Buenos Aires last week, according to a new report from TMZ. Citing the initial results from his autopsy, the outlet noted that the former One Direction singer consumed a drug known as "pink cocaine." Law enforcement sources stated that Payne had cocaine, crack, "Cristal," an Argentinian version of methamphetamine, ketamine, and ecstasy, in his system.

The news comes after police previously told the outlet that Payne's behavior at the time of his death time resembled the use of drugs. "Cristal" apparently "causes users to experience extreme highs and extreme lows, often making them aggressive," according to authorities. Photos TMZ obtained of Payne's hotel room show it left in disarray with a smashed TV and drug paraphernalia scattered around.
