's death was a huge tragedy and there are still unanswered questions about what happens next. The One Direction singer died at the age of just 31 last week, falling three stories to his death from his hotel balcony at the CasaSur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Argentine media reports suggest traces of cocaine were found in his body when he died.
Authorities from Argentina's National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office say Payne might have fallen while in a state of "semi or total unconsciousness" after alcohol and a white substance were found in his hotel suite. An initial post-mortem showed he died from multiple injuries after the fatal fall from the balcony. But his death is currently being treated as "inconclusive" by officials.
And more than one question remains regarding what happens to the singer's body as investigations continue. Liam's body is currently still in Argentina as the investigations into his death are still underway. It's believed he will remain in Argentina for between 10 and 15 days while toxicology tests take place, after which the singer's remains will be handed over to his family members and repatriated to England.
His grieving parents, Karen and Geoff, have flown over to Argentina to identify their son and arrange for his repatriation. It's reported dad Geoff is refusing to leave his son's side as the family hope to fly his body home this week. A source said: "Liam's loved ones just want him home, back where he belongs among his family.
