Liam Payne’s body will be brought back home

Payne’s father, Geoff Payne, who has been in the country with the singer’s bodyguard since the accident, will bring his son’s body back home for burial. The main reason for the delay in his release from the body was toxicology testing which takes a long time to complete.

In the singer’s case, it took even longer because any medication Payne had taken before his test could have been caused by an unknown substance, complicating the results. A security source told the news outlet that the singer’s body has been released from the judicial mortuary.

Based on video by a local journalist, his coffin was already on the plane on Wednesday. The Bedroom Floor singer will be laid to rest following a memorial service. The service is expected to include One Direction members Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson.
