Liam Payne had been kicked out of his record company and his ex-girlfriend accused him of stalking her.
The One Direction star’s last hours in life were chaotic. He checked into the luxury CasaSur luxury hotel in the Palermo district of Buenos Aires, Argentina – and started a real drunken fight. Several drug paraphernalia and foil for making crack pipes were found in his hotel room. In addition to the drugs, Liam Payne drank alcohol before falling to his death.

The autopsy of Liam Payne is now complete, and it showed that Liam Payne had cocaine in his body. According to several media, it must be so-called pink cocaine that Liam Payne took before his death.
So what is pink cocaine? According to British The Guardian then the pink powder is a mix consisting of several different drugs.

The deadly mix consists of a mixture of ketamine, MDMA, caffeine, methamphetamine, cocaine, DMT and an opiate such as Tramadol. The pink color gets the powder mixture of ordinary caramel color and sometimes a flavoring in the form of strawberry flavor, writes the Guardian.
The drugs produce strong effects and can cause hallucinations, euphoric feelings, altered perception of emotions and mood swings. It is extremely easy to overdose on the drug, and long-term effects can include high blood pressure, increased risk of stroke, depression and psychosis.
Also American ABC have reported on “pink cocaine” and despite the name, they write that the drug does not always contain exactly cocaine. Rather, it’s a “sink drug”, which langurs can mix up a little bit of everything. A kind of drugs equivalent to grog. A deadly grog. Sometimes Fentanyl is also mixed into the drug, writes the Washington Post.

Pink Cocaine is also called “tusi” on the street, and the fact that the drug has several different names can create confusion, writes ABC – and that the big danger lies in the fact that many young people do not know what it is they are taking.
P Diddy has been charged with smuggling the drug across state lines, reports Washington Post.
The drug can have major unwanted effects and the person may take more than they think they can handle. Ketamine is a powerful anesthetic but in recent years has been used for depression, anxiety and pain. It was also the drug that the Friends star Matthew Perry had in his body when he died.
Joseph Palamar studies drug trends at NYU Langone Health in New York. In an interview with ABC, he tells more about the pink cocaine.
– Ketamine is not a fun drug for most people. It means that you end up in your own little world and things can feel very foreign, especially in large doses, says Palamar to the newspaper.

According to the Washington Post, several smugglers have been arrested from South America with tusi in their luggage, and some smugglers have already been arrested at the airport in Miami.
Anthony Salisbury, agent at Homeland Security, tells the Washington Post that the Langs were then affected themselves.
– You look at their phones and see that there are little pink crystals on them because they snorted on the plane, Salisbury told the newspaper.
The US narcotics police DEA has warned that the Mexican Sinaloa cartel, which has drowned all of America in Fentanyl, could import significant amounts of ketamine from China to be able to manufacture tusi.
