One Direction singer Liam Payne’s funeral rites to take place next week

According to the Argentinian daily La Nacion, all necessary paperwork has now been finalized, and Liam is expected to return to the UK within the next 48 hours.

Former One Direction singer Liam Payne's funeral will be held next week. The singer died after a fatal fall from his hotel's balcony in Argentina on October 16.

According to reports, Liam Payne's funeral will be held in St Paul's Cathedral, Wolverhampton.

According to the Argentinian daily La Nacion, all necessary paperwork has now been finalized, and Liam is expected to return to the UK within the next 48 hours. At the latest, the 31-year-old's body is mostly likely to reach by Wednesday.

As per reports, he had consumed drugs and emergency services were alerted of his aggressive behaviour ahead of his passing.

According to reports, CCTV footage showed that Liam Payne fainted just before he fell. Argentinian journalist Paula Varela shared this information during a segment on Canal 13’s “Socios del Espectáculo.” She explained that the footage, which has not been released to the public, captures Liam fainting and then falling from his third-floor room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.

In the moments leading up to his fall, a hotel receptionist called for emergency help. The receptionist reported that a guest was "trashing" his room and appeared to be "high on drugs." This concerned the staff, especially because the balcony posed a danger.

The autopsy report disclosed that Liam had sustained numerous traumatic injuries, leading to both internal and external bleeding. Toxicology results indicated the presence of various substances in his system, including cocaine, benzodiazepine, crack, and a substance referred to as "pink cocaine." The combination of these drugs has sparked serious concerns regarding his mental state at the time of the incident.

Liam’s untimely death has left fans and the global music community in deep shock. At just 31, he had a bright future in music still ahead of him. The circumstances of his passing bring to light critical concerns about substance abuse and the role of the hospitality industry in safeguarding those at risk.
