The For You hitmaker tragically died last Wednesday (October 16) at the age of 31 after falling from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. He shared a son, Bear, with his ex Cheryl.

An autopsy, performed by the Forensic Medical Corps at the Judicial Morgue on Viamonte Street, disclosed that the former X Factor contestant died from “multiple traumas”. His fall caused “internal and external bleeding”.

Following the tragedy, Liam’s father, Geoff, flew over to Argentina.

Reports have claimed that Liam’s body will remain in the country between 10 and 15 days until the toxicological test results. Then, his body will reportedly be handed over to his family and repatriated to the UK.

Following this procedure, it is suggested that Liam’s funeral will take place next month (November) in England.

According to a family friend, Geoff has been told it “might take ten days for the tests to be completed and for him to take Liam home”.

They added: “He is finding the whole situation really tough. Geoff totally heartbroken at losing his son.

“But he has vowed to do right by Liam and will not go home without him. It is the uncertainty of not knowing when this ordeal will be over is what he is finding very difficult to deal with.”
