In the event of his premature demise, Liam Payne reportedly desired to give his organs to those in need. The vocalist rose to fame as a member of the wildly popular boyband One Direction. But she unfortunately died last month after falling from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony on the third level.
Fans worldwide were shocked when the 31-year-old’s funeral took place earlier this week. RadarOnline claims that Payne planned to donate his organs to seriously ill people in the event of his death, but the amount of drugs in his system made this impossible.

“Liam had told his friends in the final weeks and months of his life that it was his wish to have his organs donated if he died suddenly,” the outlet quotes a source in the capital of Argentina.
“He wanted to help people if he could, even if it meant dying.” However, given the drugs he was taking at the time of his death and the damage he had sustained in the fall, that just was not feasible. In the days after the death, there were numerous reports of Payne acting strangely in the hours before he died.
The musician had consumed a lot of booze and a combination of narcotics on the day of his death, according to police investigating his death.
The hotel room from which Payne fell was found to be wrecked, and there was signs of drug paraphernalia. Pink cocaine, a combination of ketamine, methamphetamine, and ecstasy, as well as benzodiazepines, cocaine, and crack, were among the powerful substances found in the hitmaker’s bloodstream, according to a subsequent toxicology study.
Three individuals—a friend of Payne, a hotel employee, and a suspected drug dealer—have been charged in connection with the One Direction star’s passing.
