LIAM Payne may have been unconscious when he fell from a hotel balcony to his death, prosecutors have said.
The One Direction star’s autopsy found he died from severe injuries sustained in the fall but that he didn’t adopt a reflex position.
Prosecutors said that given this, the position he was found in and the injuries he sustained, he may have been partly or fully unconscious when he fell, Fiscales reports.
A post-mortem revealed that Liam died after suffering “internal and external haemorrhaging” caused by the severe injuries.
Today’s post-mortem was carried out by two forensic pathologists in Buenos Aires.
Argentinian police are currently waiting for more tests to establish the details of the singer’s death.
The singer was in Buenos Aires for a holiday after going to see pal Niall Horan’s tour.
He had arrived on September 30 with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy.
Weeping fans crowded outside the hotel holding a candlelit vigil overnight in honour of the beloved singer.
Many mourned the loss of Liam with flowers as they wiped away tears.
His loved ones say the heartbreaking news has left them “devastated”.
Neighbours said Liam’s parents left in a hurry from their Wolverhampton home at around midnight.
Two women, believed to be Liam’s sisters, were then seen entering the property at 9am this morning.
Liam had shared a post on Snapchat only minutes before his death.
Harrowing pictures released have since shown the inside Liam Payne’s hotel room shortly after his fatal fall.
Argentine media have published troubling images showing white powder, burnt aluminium foil and a smashed TV screen.
