On Wednesday, Nov. 20, the late singer’s girlfriend\u00a0Kate Cassidy<\/a>\u00a0and his former\u00a0One Direction<\/a>\u00a0bandmates\u00a0Harry Styles<\/a>,\u00a0Louis Tomlinson<\/a>,\u00a0Zayn Malik<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Niall Horan<\/a>\u00a0were among those in attendance to memorialize Payne \u2014 who\u00a0died<\/a>\u00a0on Oct. 16 at age 31 \u2014 in a funeral service held in a 12th century church in the English countryside northwest of London.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 7, a\u00a0press release by the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office No. 14<\/a>\u00a0revealed that the former\u00a0One Direction<\/a>\u00a0member’s toxicology results showed traces of\u00a0“alcohol, cocaine and prescription antidepressants”<\/a>\u00a0in his body.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Prosecutors also said in the release that “self-harm of any kind and\/or physical intervention by third parties were ruled out” as contributing factors in his death.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A forensic doctor judged Payne’s death was caused by “multiple trauma” and “internal and external hemorrhage” as a result of the fall, per the release.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Prosecutors also concluded that the “Strip That Down” singer was “not fully conscious or was experiencing a state of noticeable decrease or loss of consciousness at the time of the fall.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

On Oct. 23, Payne’s father,\u00a0Geoff Payne<\/a>, had traveled to Argentina and was cooperating with authorities for the investigation into his death.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Buenos Aires police found\u00a0Payne’s hotel room \u201cin total disorder\u201d after the singer’s death. Minutes before the\u00a0balcony fall<\/a>, hotel staff alerted emergency services, reporting in a 911 call that the singer\u00a0had been \u201ctrashing the room,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0officials said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A source close to the late singer’s girlfriend Cassidy, 25, told PEOPLE his “erratic behavior started ramping up” when she left their vacation.<\/p>\n

“Like you could see from the Snapchat videos, he was a different person around her,”\u00a0the insider told PEOPLE<\/a>\u00a0after his death.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After his death, producer Sam Pounds announced the release of Payne’s first posthumous song titled “Do No Wrong.” However, he then\u00a0canceled the release out of respect<\/a>\u00a0for Payne’s family.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

“Today I\u2019m deciding to hold ‘Do No Wrong’ and leave those liberties up to all family members. I want all proceeds go to a charity of their choosing (or however they desire),” he wrote in a post on\u00a0X<\/a>\u00a0(formerly known as Twitter).<\/p>\n

Pounds continued, “Even though we all love the song it\u2019s not the time yet. We are all still morning [sic] the passing of Liam and I want the family to morn [sic] in peace and in prayer. We will all wait.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Payne was also set to star on Netflix\u2019s upcoming music competition series\u00a0Building the Band<\/em><\/a>\u00a0as a guest judge. After his sudden death, the fate of the show \u2014 which also stars\u00a0Nicole Scherzinger<\/a>,\u00a0Kelly Rowland<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0AJ McLean<\/a>\u00a0as host \u2014\u00a0remains unclear.<\/p>\n

A source told PEOPLE that the series producers were shocked by the news \u2014 and he was so fulfilled by the experience he wanted to continue working with bands after production ended.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

“Liam seemed so genuinely happy to be on set. He looked healthy, and was smiling in all his fan interactions, signing things and chatting with them between takes,” said a PEOPLE staffer who was on set in late August. \u201cHe was having a great time doing what he loved, and showed no signs of any underlying issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Payne is survived by his 7-year-old son\u00a0Bear Grey<\/a>, with his ex, Girls Aloud singer\u00a0Cheryl<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
