When Liam Payne passed away, he may have been under the influence of a strong substance that causes hallucinations and psychotic episodes, according to Argentine police.
Liam was high on a drug called “cristal,” which police say leads users to experience intense highs and lows, frequently making them aggressive, according to their working philosophy, Buenos Aires police told TMZ.
Images taken inside Liam’s hotel room reveal that it is completely damaged, with his TV smashed and broken items all over the place, along with drug paraphernalia.
According to police, drug use may have contributed to his room’s disarray and may have revealed something about his mental health at the time of his alleged suicide.
It sounds like this substance and its effects may be the cause of Liam’s unpredictable conduct. According to the police, he leaped to his death from the balcony of his third-floor apartment at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
Although police say they are unsure of Liam’s exact reason for jumping, one idea is that the illegal chemical he was consuming may have caused him to have hallucinations. The inquiry is still under progress. Liam disclosed a few years ago that when he was high on drugs and touring, he had suicide thoughts.
