The authorities indicated what their next steps would be the next day Liam Payne‘s death – including what happens to the body.
“What happened with Liam Payne’s body is that we have to wait for the toxicological report which usually takes from one to two weeks, from 7 to 15 days, and until the results will not release the body,” Dr. Cristian Polettia lawyer who specializes in criminal law and a university professor, specially told Us Weekly Friday, October 22 (Poletti did not participate in the case.)
Poletti continued, “Any death that is suspected of criminality, this is a case of suspected criminality, beyond the fact that everything points to the fact that it is a death by one’s own hand or something, it takes a certain amount of time.”
After the autopsy, which has been done, Poletti explained that there is a toxicology report that “takes a long time.” (A preliminary autopsy report said Payne died of “internal and external bleeding.” A partial autopsy report released Monday, Oct. 21, indicated that Payne had “pink cocaine,” cocaine, benzodiazepines and crack in his system when he fell. aluminum pipe reportedly found in hotel room.)
“That takes 7 to 15 days,” he said. “Until the study is completed and everything related to the autopsy is confirmed, they will not release the body, they will not send the body to the family.”
Poletti continued, “If they send it, they will not allow the cremation of the body. Nor will they allow them to take it out of the country. That is, if the body is fully released, the family can do whatever they want. They will allow the release, they will allow the body travel to where they came from.Before, they wouldn’t do it.
Poletti noted that once the toxicology report is in, the body will be returned. “I think that everything shows defenestration, that is, the body fell by its own hands or jumped or because of alcohol or drugs, they will release it once the toxicology report is in,” explained Poletti. “If there is no suspicion of someone else in the room or a pushing hand, I believe that after the toxicology report comes back, they will release the body. Once released, they will allow it to be removed from the country.
