About the funeral
According to sun.co.uk, Liam’s funeral will reportedly take place next week with the former One Direction star’s body to be flown back to the UK in the next 48 hours. “At the latest, the 31-year-old could be back in the UK by Wednesday – with his funeral to be held in St Paul’s Cathedral in Wolverhampton,” said the report.
The singer-songwriter died after falling from the third floor of his hotel in Buenos Aires last month.
Liam’s body arrived at the British cemetery in the city two days after he died as authorities investigated his death. Now, his body will reach the UK within 48 hours with all the paperwork now completed, Sun quoted Argentinian daily La Nacion as stating.
An autopsy was performed on Liam which determined he received 25 injuries in the fall that killed him.
Last week, Argentinian cops raided his hotel looking for information on alleged drug dealing staff who sold to Liam what he is believed to have consumed before he died.
It is believed that Liam was smuggled drugs hidden in a soap box. The officers are now probing two hotel staff including a cleaner.
Prosecutors said in a statement they believe Liam was “in a state of semi or total unconsciousness” during a substance-induced episode when he fell.
Liam’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy has also revealed the pair planned to marry next year in a touching tribute to Liam.
