Liam Payne’s father Geoff is cooperating fully with authorities while the singer’s body remains in Buenos Aires for examination

Liam Payne’s father cooperated with police as they investigated the death of his only son on October 16.

The National Criminal and Penitentiary Prosecutor’s Office No. 14 said in a press release on Tuesday that Geoff Payne “expressed his desire for an investigation and knowledge of what happened and expressed to the prosecutor his willingness to testify about everything he knew about his life.” Son knows.” can support the investigation.”

The musician’s father arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where his son fell to his death on October 18 from the third floor balcony of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.

Photos and videos from his arrival at the hotel show the patriarch watching the fan memorial outside and standing on the balcony where Liam fell from.

Geoff arrived first to identify his son’s body and bring him home to their native England. However, the press release states: “The toxicological and histopathological studies that complement the autopsy are not yet completed and their results are necessary for the release of the body.”

It is also unclear when the full autopsy will be completed and when his body could be on its way back to the UK. In the meantime, Geoff will remain in Argentina and “receive dynamic police support pending the outcome of the legal proceedings,” the statement said.

However, a family friend told the Daily Mail: “Geoff has been told it could be ten days before the tests are completed and he can take Liam home.”

“He finds the whole situation really difficult. Geoff is completely heartbroken over the loss of his son.

“But he has vowed to please Liam and won’t go home without him. It is the uncertainty of not knowing when this ordeal will be over that he finds very difficult to deal with.”

As for a possible timeline for when the results might be available, the family friend said: “Argentine officials say they expect the results to take 10 days, but it could be much less time.”

As part of their investigation, authorities are examining Liam’s phone and computer, as well as photos and surveillance camera footage.

They also said in their press release that “numerous statements were also made to reconstruct the victim’s final hours and the location of the events, a process that is still ongoing with hotel employees, acquaintances, technical and medical professionals and others associated with the victim “Victims through their work.”

This latest development comes just days after a partial autopsy revealed that the former One Direction singer had several drugs in his system at the time of his death, including cocaine, crack and benzodiazepine, a type of sedative.

The test also revealed “pink cocaine,” a recreational drug that typically mixes methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA and others, according to the outlet.

It was previously reported that authorities believed the “For You” singer was high on “Cristal,” a substance that “causes users extreme highs and lows, often making them aggressive.”

Several eyewitnesses recalled that the singer was behaving erratically in the hotel lobby at the time of his death.

A preliminary autopsy report also revealed that the father-of-one suffered a fractured skull and multiple traumas in his fall, resulting in internal and external bleeding.

During the initial investigation, Page Six confirmed that alcohol and controlled substances were found in his trashed hotel room.

In fact, the singer, who had previously spoken openly about his addiction and mental health issues, had made those around him fear that his life would end because of drugs.

A source told Page Six on Tuesday: “This is the end that everyone prayed wouldn’t happen but feared would happen.”
