Liam Payne was under the influence of potent drugs that caused psychotic attacks, hallucinations when he died: cops

Liam Payne was under the influence of potent hallucinogenic drugs when he died in Argentina Wednesday night, TMZ reports.

Buenos Aires police officers told the outlet Friday that the former One Direction star was high on “Cristal,” which is a dangerous substance that “causes users to experience extreme highs and extreme lows, often making them aggressive.”

Police told TMZ his reported “erratic” behavior may be partly due to the drug and may have caused him to hallucinate, leading him to jump off the third-story balcony of his hotel room at CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires.

Police are still investigating.
