Former One Direction star Liam Payne, who died a sudden death on October 16, will have his funeral next week. Sources suggest that his body will be repatriated to the UK within the next 48 hours. A report by The Sun stated, “At the latest, the 31-year-old could be back in the UK by Wednesday - with his funeral to be held in St Paul's Cathedral in Wolverhampton.”
Liam’s body arrived at the British cemetery in the city two days after he died as authorities investigated his death. Now, his body will reach the UK within 48 hours with all the paperwork now completed.
Liam Payne died suddenly in Argentina. He died as he fell from the balcony of his hotel room. He was staying on the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires last month.
An autopsy was performed on Liam which determined he received 25 injuries in the fall that killed him.
The local police raided his hotel looking for any drug involvement. As they raided the hotel, his hotel room was found in a mess with his laptop broken and reminisces of some drug in a soap box. The officers are now probing two hotel staff members, including a cleaner.
Prosecutors said in a statement they believe Liam was “in a state of semi or total unconsciousness" during a substance-induced episode when he fell.
Meanwhile, after Liam’s death, his girlfriend Kate Cassidy revealed that the two intended to get married the next year.
