Liam Payne's autopsy revealed the One Direction singer died from "polytrauma" and "an internal and external hemorrhage."

Payne died Wednesday, Oct. 16, as a "result of the fall he suffered from the balcony of the third floor room of the hotel in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo where he was staying," according to the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office N°16, temporarily headed by Marcelo Roma. He was 31.

According to the report, circumstances surrounding his death are still being investigated as a "dubious" death, although it appeared as though Payne was alone when the fall occurred and the musician was "going through some type of outbreak resulting from substance abuse."
