Liam Payne's blood alcohol level at time of death exposed four months after fatal hotel balcony fall

Liam Payne's blood alcohol level is revealed months after his tragic hotel balcony fall.

A new report has revealed Liam Payne's blood alcohol level at the time of his death. The former One Direction member had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 'up to 2.7 grams per liter in his blood' when he tragically fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October 2024, at the age of 31.

The report, released by the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office No. 14 on Friday, Feb. 21, provides more insight into the singer's condition before his death.

The report also indicated that Payne had 'cocaine metabolites, methylecgonine, benzoylecgomine, cocaethylene and the medication sertraline' in his system.

A BAC of 2.7 grams per liter (0.27%) can lead to severe symptoms, such as confusion, disorientation, and dizziness, according to Alcohol.org.

A BAC of 0.3% or above can cause alcohol poisoning, and a level of 0.4% could be fatal.

Payne's BAC was more than three times the legal driving limit in the U.S., which is 0.08%.

Preliminary toxicology tests after his death found traces of cocaine, benzodiazepine, crack cocaine, and 'pink cocaine,' a mixture of methamphetamine, ketamine, and MDMA.

In January, the official cause of death was confirmed as 'polytrauma,' referring to multiple traumatic injuries to the body.

A new report suggests that Payne had a drug-fueled threesome with two sex workers shortly before his death.

Forensic analysis of his final hours shows that he contacted two women – Aldana Serrano and Lucila Goitea – through a sex-worker website and invited them to his hotel room.

The women arrived at 11:30 am on October 16 to find the late singer using a 'crystal-like' drug from aluminum foil.

Payne reportedly asked the women to get more drugs before the trio engaged in sexual activity, according to reports.

After about two-and-a-half hours, Payne allegedly broke the TV and demanded that the women leave without paying them, according to court documents.

This account of the final hours of the One Direction star is documented in a 35-page court ruling in Argentina, which explained the decision to drop charges against Payne’s friend and two hotel employees in relation to his death.
