00:00Liam Payne's cause of death has been revealed.

00:03The singer died of multiple trauma

00:04and internal and external bleeding

00:06as a result of falling from the third floor balcony

00:08of his hotel in Buenos Aires,

00:10according to the Argentina National Prosecutor's Office.

00:13The preliminary autopsy report included

00:15that authorities seized substances from his room

00:17and interviewed five witnesses,

00:19three hotel workers and two women,

00:21all of whom had left the hotel before his death.

00:24Though the report's findings indicate that he was alone

00:26and appeared to suffer a substance abuse-related breakdown,

00:29the prosecutor's office is still investigating

00:31the incident as a doubtful death, as a matter of protocol.

00:34As previously reported, hotel staff called 911

00:37shortly before Liam's death to ask for help

00:39with one of their guests, who the employee claimed

00:41was under the influence of drugs and alcohol

00:43and tearing up their room.

00:45Liam was not named in the call,

00:46and by the time police arrived,

00:47the beloved One Direction member

00:49had already fallen and died from his injuries.

00:52In a separate statement, also translated from Spanish,

00:54police noted that the manager had heard a loud noise

00:56at the back of the hotel,

00:57and once authorities had arrived,

00:59they confirmed Liam had thrown himself from the balcony.

01:02The autopsy report also details

01:03that coroners reported 25 injuries

01:05that are compatible with those caused

01:07by a fall from a height.

01:08It added that no defensive wounds were found

01:10or injuries that would suggest a third party was involved,

01:13and the prosecutor's office also said

01:15that given the position in which the body was left

01:17and the injuries from the fall,

01:18it is presumed that Payne did not adopt a reflex posture

01:20to protect himself and that he could have fallen

01:22in a state of semi or total unconsciousness.

01:25Toxicology reports are pending.

01:28The singer is survived by his seven-year-old son, Bear,

01:31whom he shares with ex and singer Cheryl.
