Liam Payne’s body is finally being flown back to his native England today, sources confirmed to Page Six.

Security insiders confirmed to Page Six that he is being taken home for the funeral by his devoted father Geoff Payne, who has been in Argentina with the singer’s bodyguard since the accident.

The singer, who battled substance abuse, will now be laid to rest after a service expected to be attended by his One Direction bandmates Liam Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik.

A local journalist claimed via X that his casket was already on board a flight Wednesday, but Page Six could not immediately verify that information. A representative for Payne did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The body of the former One Direction singer has been held in the South American country after he tragically toppled over the balcony of his hotel in Buenos Aires and died on October 16. He was 31 years old.

Amidst the long wait, the release of his body was delayed over time toxicological tests were being completed.

As Page Six previously revealed, the tests took longer than expected because the drugs the singer is believed to have taken before his death may have been laced with unknown substances, complicating the results.

Meanwhile, TMZ reported Wednesday that Argentine police carried out a round of raids at the homes of two employees of the CasaSur Palermo hotel, along with one of his other “friends”, as part of their investigation to find out who sold the singer the drugs.

As we revealed, Payne is believed to have befriended one of the cleaning staff at his hotel, who supplied him with drugs during his stay, leading to concerned friend Roger Nores to alert the CasaSur manager.

Law enforcement sources said TMZ that officers carried out the raids on Tuesday night as they searched workers’ lockers and reviewed hotel security footage.

Investigators are alleged to have identified Payne’s drug-dealing “friend” through text messages on his mobile phone – but he was not at home at the time of the raid.

Initial autopsy results showed Payne had “pink cocaine” in his system, a dangerous cocktail that typically combines methamphetamine, ecstasy and ketamine, as well as other narcotics.
