AUTOPSY results show Liam Payne died from multiple injuries sustained in his fall that led to “internal and external haemorrhaging.”
Two forensic pathologists, named locally as Santiago Maffia Bizzozero and Victor Roberto Cohen, reached the conclusions during a post-mortem today in Buenos Aires.

Further tests are now taking place to see if the singer had consumed drugs and alcohol which could have played a contributing factor in the Brit’s death.
The autopsy took place at a city morgue in Viamonte Street a 15-minute drive south-west of Hotel CasaSur Palermo, the boutique hotel where the 31-year-old Brit plunged from a third-floor balcony yesterday around 5pm local time.
Liam’s body was taken last night to the morgue, where post-mortems following deaths in the city centre traditionally take place.
Alberto Crescenti, a director of emergency medical response service SAME, had revealed yesterday the injuries Liam sustained in the fall included a broken skull.
Mr Crescenti described those injuries as “incompatible with life” and referred specifically to the head wound, saying: “According to the emergency medical team sent to the scene he had a fracture in the base of his skull, extremely serious injuries.”
