Police Question Women Linked to Liam Payne’s Last Hours
Local police and prosecutors confirmed that the two women have been questioned as part of the investigation to reconstruct Liam’s final hours. The women’s partial identities were revealed on national television, though prosecutors stopped short of releasing full names.
An official statement confirmed that five witnesses were questioned, including the two women and three hotel employees. The women are currently labeled as key witnesses but are not suspects. Media reports in Argentina described the circumstances of Liam’s death as “dudoso”—a Spanish word meaning “doubtful.”
Drugs and Alcohol Found in Liam Payne’s Hotel Room
Prosecutors confirmed they removed multiple substances from Liam’s room, suggesting drug use may have contributed to the events leading up to his death. Investigators are still trying to determine who may have provided the substances.
Autopsy Reveals Multiple Injuries
An autopsy conducted by forensic doctors late Wednesday revealed that Liam died from multiple injuries, including severe internal and external bleeding, consistent with a fall from height.
“The autopsy confirmed that the cause of death was polytrauma and hemorrhage,” the prosecutor’s office reported. “Further toxicology tests will confirm if any substances contributed to his death.”
Timeline of Liam Payne’s Final Hours
According to the investigation, Liam had a meltdown due to alcohol and drugs before falling from the third-floor balcony of his suite. A hotel employee made a 911 call for emergency assistance, reporting that the guest had destroyed items in his room.
When police and paramedics arrived at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in the Palermo district of Buenos Aires, Liam had already fallen onto the pool deck below and was pronounced dead at the scene due to severe injuries.
No Signs of Third-Party Involvement
The forensic team found no defensive wounds on Liam’s body, suggesting no physical struggle before the fall. Based on his injuries and the position of his body, experts believe he may have fallen while unconscious.
Investigation Aims to Confirm Cause of Death
While police suspect Liam’s death may have been linked to substance use, they are still determining whether the fall was accidental or intentional. Authorities are also investigating if any third parties were involved in providing the drugs found in his room.
