A preliminary report into the popstar’s death said ‘everything indicates’ Payne was alone when he died.
Prosecutors have taken five statements from witnesses including from two women who were with Payne the night before he died.
Police had been searching for the duo having identified them as ‘key witnesses’ before the One Direction star’s hotel balcony fall.
The pair had been in Payne’s hotel room but left prior to his death.
The singer died instantly after suffering multiple injuries that led to ‘internal and external haemorrhaging’.
Both women are said to have left the hotel yesterday after waiting for the star in the lobby, Argentine outlet Infobae reports.
There is no indication that the women could be involved in his death, but police hope they can help piece together Payne’s final moments before he plunged to his death at around 5pm local time.
