Liam Payne: Did he get his drugs from hotel workers?

It has not yet been conclusively clarified how exactly the tragic fall from the balcony of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires in Argentina occurred. However, it seems clear that Liam Payne (1993-2024) had consumed drugs shortly before his death. A source from the investigating public prosecutor’s office has now confirmed this. It was previously reported that suspicious substances were found in his room. It is now said that the former One Direction singer had previously received these drugs from a hotel employee.

“There appears to be evidence that a hotel employee obtained the drugs for Payne,” said the insider, whose identity has not been revealed. This employee will probably have to justify himself in court in the near future, because: According to the source, an indictment against the suspect for drug trafficking is expected to take place shortly.

Prosecutor speaks of “dubious death”

The authorities previously said that the public prosecutor was investigating in all directions to clarify the music star’s “dubious death”. In this message, those responsible also addressed the importance of the question of who had supplied Payne with the illegal substances in advance. It also needs to be clarified whether third parties were directly involved in the musician’s death. However, the current state of the investigation assumes that Payne was alone in his room at the time of the incident.

According to media reports, a few hours before his death, Payne was asked to leave another hotel, the Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires, because he was said to be drunk. Only then did he go to the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. The hotels themselves have not yet made any comment on this.

Liam Payne died of polytrauma

According to a preliminary autopsy report, the former member of the celebrated boy band One Direction died of polytrauma (multiple life-threatening injuries to various parts of the body) and internal and external bleeding. Further investigations are still being carried out to investigate evidence of possible drug use before the fatal fall.

Given the position of the body and the injuries caused by the fall, the public prosecutor’s office assumes that the singer did not try to protect himself from the fall. He could therefore have been in a state of semi- or complete unconsciousness. Substances that “appeared to be narcotics and alcoholic beverages, as well as several destroyed items and furniture” were found at the crime scene in Payne’s hotel room.
