LONDON, May 8 -- The late One Direction singer Liam Payne left behind a £24.3 million (RM138 million) estate after dying without a will.

Court documents revealed that Cheryl Tweedy, his former partner and the mother of his son, Bear, has been named one of the administrators of his estate.

Music industry lawyer Richard Mark Bray was also appointed administrator, according to The Guardian.

A postmortem report stated that Payne died of multiple traumas and "internal and external haemorrhage" after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.

The singer died aged 31 in October last year.

The gross value of Payne's estate was £28,594,888, while the net value - after debts and expenses - was £24,279,728.
