Liam Payne’s body to return home

Payne's father, Geoff Payne who has been in the country along with the singer's bodyguard, since the accident will be bringing his son’s body back home for his burial. The primary reason behind his body’s release being delayed was the toxicology tests which take a long time to be completed.

In the singer’s case, it took even more time as any drugs Payne consumed before his test might have been cut by an unknown substance(s) which complicated the results. A security source revealed to the news outlet that the singer’s body has been released from the judicial morgue.

Based on a local journalist’s video, his coffin was already on board a flight on Wednesday. The Bedroom Floor singer will be put to rest following a memorial service. It is expected that the service will be attended by One Direction members– Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson.
