Former One Direction star Liam Payne’s medical cause of death has been confirmed as “polytrauma” during the opening of a UK inquest.
A hearing at Buckinghamshire Coroner’s Court, held on 17 December, was informed that it may take “some time” to determine the circumstances surrounding the 31-year-old’s death.
The inquest into Payne’s death has been adjourned until a pre-inquest review scheduled for 6 November, according to the coroner’s court. His medical cause of death was confirmed by Dr Roberto Victor Cohen as “polytrauma,” which refers to multiple traumatic injuries.
The hearing also revealed that Payne, described as a “singer and entertainer” during the proceedings, was formally identified “with the assistance of the funeral directors in Buckinghamshire.”
