The shocking last picture of Liam Payne still alive has emerged in which the singer was pictured being carried by three men through a hotel lobby.
The heartbreaking image obtained by the Daily Mail, showed the 31-year-old singer being lifted by a group of men just minutes before his fatal three-story fall at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires. In the image obtained from CCTV footage, two men were seen lifting the One Direction singer in the air with two grabbing him by his arms and the third by his legs. The Mirror has chosen to not include the image.
TMZ claimed that Liam was escorted back to his hotel room after employees claimed he was “acting erratically” in the lobby and was reportedly seen smashing his laptop. The footage was captured just before Liam’s tragic death which came after he fell from the third floor balcony of his suite on October 16.

The Argentina National Prosecutor’s office has since released a statement that said Liam’s death was due to “polytrauma and internal and external bleeding.” They described the cause of death as “doubtful/undetermined,” indicating a lack of definitive information.

After the fall, Liam’s body suffered 25 injuries “compatible with those produced by a fall from height,” including brain and skull injuries deemed “sufficiently suitable to cause death.” The internal and external hemorrhages in his skull, chest, abdomen, and limbs all played a role in his passing. It is believed that the singer might’ve have fallen into a state of semi or total unconsciousness ahead of his fall.
Reports have also suggested that Liam had pink cocaine in his system on the night of his death. Pink cocaine is a drug cocktail that includes methamphetamine, MDMA, ketamine and more but not cocaine. It’s also claimed that Liam had cocaine, crack, and benzodiazepine in his system.
Since Liam’s young death three suspects have been charged with “the crimes of abandonment of a person followed by death, supply and facilitation of narcotics” in connection to the case. And as the world continues to search for answers, Liam’s closest friends and family gathered in Home Counties to attend Liam’s funeral this week to pay their respects to the talented musician and say their final goodbyes.
While speaking with an Argentinian news station, Braian Nahuel Paiz, who has stepped forward as a suspect and dubbed as Liam’s ‘dealer,’ admitted to taking drugs with him but insisted, “I never took drugs to him or accepted any money.”
Liam Payne’s “manager,” Rogelio “Roger” Nores, has denied being charged as a suspect and claimed he never “abandoned” Liam as the charges against the suspects stated.
The names of those charged has not been released on any official record.
