Liam Payne death

Liam Payne’s body is being flown to the UK. His father Geoff Payne and the singer’s bodyguard who has been in the country since the accident, will be bringing the body for burial. It took that long to bring his body back because of toxicology tests so that the police could rule out any foul play. 

The autopsy took so long because drugs were involved and all parties wanted to be sure that he fell himself and that no one was involved in his tragic ending. The authorities took long because the drugs that Liam consumed before his test might have been cut by an unknown substance(s) which complicated the results. A security source revealed to the news outlet that the singer’s body has been released from the judicial morgue.

The police searched inside worker’s lockers and the security footage of the hotel. They are also currently looking into the profile of the “friend” who supplied drugs to Liam Payne.
