Liam Payne was under the influence of potent drugs that caused psychotic attacks, hallucinations when he died: cops

Liam Payne was under the influence of potent hallucinogenic drugs that cause psychotic attacks and hallucinations when he died in Argentina Wednesday night, TMZ reports . Buenos Aires police officers told the outlet Friday that the former One Direction star was high on “Cristal,” which is a dangerous substance that “causes users to experience extreme highs and extreme lows, often making them aggressive.” Police told TMZ his reported “erratic” behavior may be partly due to the drug and may have caused him to hallucinate, leading him to jump off the third-story balcony of his hotel room at CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires.

Police are still investigating. Some eyewitnesses have come forward with their alleged observations of Payne’s concerning behavior during his final hours at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. A hotel guest told the Daily Mail Friday that she saw the musician smashing his laptop after becoming infuriated by an email he saw.



“I went over, asked, ‘Are you OK?’ But he just kind of grunted. Then he said, ‘I used to be in a boy band. That’s why I’m so f–ked up,'” she said of their alleged interaction.

Another hotel guest claimed he saw Payne arguing with hotel staff about money . “I’ll give you $20,000 just because I can. I have $55 million and I like to help people,” Payne told a woman according to Michael Fleischmann, who stayed at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel on Wednesday.
