Two women who spent time with Liam Payne just before his death have revealed shocking information about the events that occurred just before he tragically fell to his death.
The One Direction star fell from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16.
He died instantly after sustaining serious injuries "incompatible with life"; before that, two women had spent time with the star.
The two single mothers from poor neighbourhoods in Buenos Aires shared their account with the authorities; they said: “No drugs were consumed, just alcohol.”
Payne contacted the women just hours before his death and they agreed to meet him.
One is a mother of two, lives in a run-down house and relies on social benefits to survive, while the other is also a mother, is struggling with significant financial debt.
Despite the singer's wealth, the women he contacted lived far from the luxury often associated with celebrity encounters.
The two women, who had never met each other before, entered the hotel around 11am on the morning of Payne’s death.
They recalled that the singer greeted them calmly and invited them to have drinks.
The three chatted while Payne played with a bottle of scotch and offered the women champagne. According to their statements, no drugs were involved during their time with him, just alcohol.
However, when the two women attempted to leave, a dispute arose.
Shortly after, the atmosphere inside Payne’s room allegedly grew chaotic.
Hotel staff reported hearing shouting and the sound of glass breaking.
Security personnel called 911, but before emergency services could arrive, the singer’s life had come to a devastating end.
His body was discovered shortly after in his hotel room, sparking an investigation by the Buenos Aires City Police.
The women were quickly identified from hotel records, prompting prosecutor Marcelo Roma to order that they be located for questioning. Found in their respective neighbourhoods, the women testified at Prosecutor’s Office No. 16.
Their testimonies confirmed that they had spent time with Payne, drank alcohol, and conversed, but they did not confirm whether any sexual activity occurred.
Despite their involvement in Payne’s final hours, Carla and Laura are not currently suspects in the case.
Neither woman has a prior criminal record, and prosecutors have found no evidence linking them to any foul play.
