Never seen before photos reveal Liam Payne's final hours before he tragically fell to his death
Argentinian police have released CCTV images showing Liam Payne's final hours before he fell from a hotel balcony.
The former One Direction star died from 'polytrauma' after falling 46 feet from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 16 October 2024. A toxicology report after his death later revealed that the 'Strip That Down' singer had cocaine, alcohol and the powerful sedative Klonopin in his body at the time of the tragedy.
Now, documents relating to Payne's death have been released by police in the South American country, providing an insight into how he spent his final moments.
In CCTV footage released, the 31-year-old is seen inside the lobby of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel with two women, who are believed to be prostitutes ldana Serrano and Lucila Goite – both of whom have claimed to have had sex with Payne in the hours before his death.

Serrano and Goite previously spoke to MailOnline about their alleged interactions with Payne, claiming they were called to the singer's room on the morning of his death.
"During our time there, we had sex with him, which was consensual sex, only once," one of the women said.
After spending a total of two hours inside the room, the pair asked to be paid around £3,700 for their services, which Payne attempted to send via an international bank transfer.
However, when the transfer failed, the women claim that the dad-of-one became angry. After turning down his offer to pay them with a £30,000 gold Rolex, Payne allegedly smashed it before turning his attention to the TV.
One of the women said: "We told him we only wanted money so he took it and smashed it. He told us he didn’t care about the money.
"And then he broke the TV, he punched it. He made us understand that he could smash everything because he knew he could pay for it."
Serrano and Goite returned to the hotel room to collect their belongings later in the day, at which point they claim that Payne apologised for 'giving them a bad time'.
The women are understood to have left the hotel at roughly 4pm local time, with Payne's time of death later recorded as 5.07pm.
Meanwhile, other footage released shows Payne wandering through the hotel corridors and swinging from a nearby lamppost. Staff are also seen carrying buckets of champagne and whiskey to his room, with receipts detailing that Payne spent more than $600,000 on whisky before falling from the balcony.
Further documents released by the Mail on Sunday included a WhatsApp chat including members of staff at the hotel, with messages dated to 14 October discussing how best to manage his behaviour.
Authorities had also been called to the hotel before Payne's death, after staff expressed concern about his welfare.
Hotel workers Ezequiel Pereyra, 22, and waiter Braian Paiz, 26, were later arrested and charged with supplying drugs to the singer, however they have since been released on bail ahead of trial.
Both of the men deny all charges against them.
