A Liam Payne toxicology report has been released and shows everything in the 31-year-old's system. According to ABC, a toxicology test found that ITV The X Factor star Payne, 31, had “pink cocaine” in his system, a recreational drug that could be a mix of several drugs including methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA, cocaine, benzodiazepine, and crack.

The One Direction member died last week at the age of 31 after plunging from a third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires.ABC News and TMZ reported that a cocktail of drugs called “pink cocaine” – containing methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA – had been found during a partial autopsy, along with crack cocaine and benzodiazepine.

Associated Press reported an anonymous official had said the preliminary toxicology report suggested evidence of exposure to cocaine. Experts stressed to the AP that these initial results don’t offer an accurate reading of just how much was circulating in his blood when he died.

Liam’s dad Geoff, who travelled to Argentina last week, is understood to have been told by authorities that the singer will not be able to be flown back to the UK until his death is confirmed “scientifically.” Associated Press reported that the official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to brief journalists.

Pink cocaine does not necessarily contain coke but is often a mixture of various substances, including MDMA, ketamine, and 2C-B. This drug is typically found in powder or pill form and is known for its vibrant pink colour, which makes it visually appealing to users.

The drug is believed to have originated in Colombia, where it became popular in the club scenes of major cities. Short-term psychological effects include euphoria as well as increased alertness and enhanced sensory perception.

However, these can quickly give way to negative experiences such as anxiety, paranoia, panic, and hallucinations, reports say.
