Liam Payne cops hunt ‘two mystery women’ last seen with star before his death
Cops are on the lookout for two crucial witnesses who may have been the last to see Liam Payne before his tragic demise, according to reports. Local news source Infobae has alleged that two women were in the company of the former One Direction member, who was just 31 years old, at the time of his passing. Liam fell from the third-floor balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16. It has been suggested that both women departed from the Casa Sur Hotel, where Liam was residing, after waiting for him in the hotel lobby. If located, it is believed that these two women could provide valuable insight into the moments leading up to his fatal fall into the hotel’s courtyard, as per the Mirror report. There is currently no indication that the women were implicated in his death.
Authorities reportedly discovered and confiscated a bottle of whiskey, a lighter, a phone, and a notebook from the singer’s hotel suite. Following his tragic passing, photographs have emerged showing drug paraphernalia allegedly strewn around his room, including white powder residue, burnt aluminium foil, and a smashed TV screen. Prosecutors have confirmed that they interviewed five individuals, including two women who were with Liam in the hours preceding his death, to reconstruct his final hours. One source mentioned, “He was with two women in his room where there was access to drugs.”
The largest newspaper in Argentina, Clarin, was the first to publish distressing images. An article accompanying the photos described, “Damage and drugs in the hotel room Liam Payne was staying in in Buenos Aires.” It has been reported that the police have yet to ascertain the nature of the substances allegedly found in his room. Since his passing, Liam’s family released a deeply emotional statement expressing their grief. They remembered Liam for his kind, humorous, and courageous nature, stating that he will always remain in their hearts.
Former X Factor contestant Katie Waissel, who appeared on the show alongside Liam in 2010, also paid tribute to him, describing him as kind-hearted with a wise soul. She highlighted the impact of his warmth and compassion on those who knew him. Liam’s untimely death serves as a poignant reminder of the systemic neglect that persists in the industry. The search continues for the two potential key witnesses who were reportedly with Liam before his passing, as authorities seek to piece together the events leading up to the tragedy.
