What Is Pink Cocaine? Autopsy Finds Drugs in Liam Payne’s Body

Last Updated: Tuesday October 29, 2024

(Fox 5 San Diego) A partial autopsy conducted on former One Direction singer Liam Payne found multiple substances in his system when he fell to his death from the third-floor balcony of a hotel room in Argentina last week, according to a new report from ABC News.

Among them were cocaine, benzodiazepine, crack and a [mixture of drugs] known as “pink cocaine.”

What is pink cocaine?

Despite its name, pink cocaine does not actually have any cocaine in it.

The National Capital Poison Center describes the [mixture of drugs] as a powdered cocktail of drugs, typically including ecstasy, ketamine, caffeine and a psychedelic drug known as 2-CB. The [mixture] can also be referred to as Tusi — a phonetic translation of “2C” — and often comes in the form of a vibrant pink powder. The color reportedly comes from the addition of colored dye and sometimes from strawberry flavoring.
