Liam Payne cause of death confirmed as UK inquest opens

Liam Payne's cause of death has been confirmed through an inquest in the United Kingdom. The 31-year-old singer, who died on October 16 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, was determined to have died from "polytrauma," which refers to multiple injuries affecting various organs or systems. During the December hearing at Buckinghamshire Coroner's Court, Senior Coroner Crispin Butler noted that investigations into the circumstances of Payne's death are ongoing in Argentina and may take time to resolve through formal channels, including the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office.
