Police are reportedly planning to investigate who supplied Payne with the drugs which may be linked to his death if tests confirm narcotics were found in his room.
The singer officially died from multiple injuries sustained in his fall that led to "internal and external haemorrhaging", preliminary autopsy results revealed on Thursday.
Two forensic pathologists, named locally as Santiago Maffia Bizzozero and Victor Roberto Cohen, reached the conclusions during a post-mortem in Buenos Aires.
Leaked pictures also show a smashed TV screen in his hotel room.
Alberto Crescenti, a director of emergency medical response service SAME, had earlier revealed the injuries Payne sustained in the fall included a fractured skull.
According to the emergency medical team sent to the scene he had a "fracture in the base of his skull, extremely serious injuries," Mr Crescenti said.
Payne was formally a member of British boyband One Direction.
He also told TN television Payne was dead when paramedics arrived, adding: "Our role was to head there quickly, give medical attention, and try to resuscitate him, but his injuries were incompatible with life."
Payne's identity was confirmed by emergency services by checking his passport, but police do not yet have conclusive evidence regarding the circumstances of his fall.
Devestated fans mourn singer outside the hotel.
A hotel reception worker made a distressing 999 call requesting "urgent" assistance after Payne had been acting erratically and was escorted back to his hotel room.
The hotel worker made two calls, saying in the first: "We have a guest who's off his head on drugs and is destroying everything in his room. We need someone to come."
He then phoned back after the line went dead, saying: "I don't know if the guest's life is in danger. The room has a balcony and we are afraid he might do something."
