Last image of Liam Payne alive as star seen being carried by means of resort foyer

A devastating photograph has recently surfaced showing an alive Liam Payne being carried by his limbs by a trio of men in a hotel’s foyer.

The gut-wrenching image provided to the Daily Mail shows the 31-year-old pop sensation propped up by a bunch of blokes just minutes before his fatal plummet from three floors up at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires. The CCTV-still shows two fellas gripping him by his arms while a third supports his legs.

TMZ claimed that Liam was taken back to his room after “acting erratically” in the lobby, and reportedly smashing up his laptop. The confronting still was from just before the former One Direction star’s death, after he took a deadly tumble from the balcony of his third-floor hotel suite on October 16.

Officials from the Argentina National Prosecutor’s office have declared that Liam died due to “polytrauma and internal and external bleeding.” They’ve described the cause of death as “doubtful/undetermined,” indicating a lack of clear-cut evidence.

Post-mortem examinations showed that Liam suffered 25 injuries “compatible with those produced by a fall from height,” including deadly brain and skull trauma. The multiple internal and external hemorrhages found in his skull, chest, abdomen, and limbs were all contributing factors to his untimely death.

It’s thought that the singer may have slipped into semi or total unconsciousness before plunging to his death.

Reports suggest Liam had traces of pink cocaine in his bloodstream on the night he died, which is a sinister mix of drugs including methamphetamine, MDMA, ketamine, but not actual cocaine. It’s also understood Liam had cocaine, crack and benzodiazepine in his system the night he died.

In the wake of Liam’s premature passing, three individuals now face serious charges for “the crimes of abandonment of a person followed by death, supply and facilitation of narcotics” in relation to the tragedy. As the search for the truth continues, Liam’s loved ones landed in the Home Counties this week for his funeral to pay their respects to the gifted artist and say goodbye one last time.

Braian Nahuel Paiz, who has come forward as a suspect and reportedly tagged as Liam’s ‘dealer,’ spoke candidly to an Argentinian news outlet, owning up to sharing drugs with Liam but vehemently stated: “I never took drugs to him or accepted any money.”

Liam Payne’s representative, Rogelio “Roger” Nores, denied claims that he had been charged in connection with the incident and insisted he never “abandoned” the singer, as stated in the charges agains the suspects. The identities of those charged have not been officially disclosed.
