In a shocking turn of events, new details have emerged surrounding the death of former One Direction member Liam Payne. Argentine authorities have reported that Payne, who was found dead in his hotel room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, may have acquired drugs through an employee of the hotel. The substances retrieved from Payne’s room included clonazepam and the highly dangerous drug known as crystal meth.
According to Buenos Aires police, evidence points to a hotel staff member allegedly facilitating the purchase of the drugs that were later found in the singer’s possession. This has prompted a thorough investigation by Argentina’s prosecutor’s office, which is now considering pressing drug distribution charges against the implicated hotel employee. The investigation has cast a shadow of suspicion over the hotel, as authorities work to unravel the chain of events that led to Payne’s tragic death.
Reports from Marca suggest that the singer was under the influence of crystal meth, a potent substance notorious for inducing severe psychotic episodes, hallucinations, and violent behavior. The drug is highly addictive and can cause rapid mental deterioration, leading to dangerous outbursts—an element that matches the chaotic scene that unfolded in Payne’s hotel room.
Emergency services were alerted by hotel management, who reported a severely intoxicated guest wreaking havoc in his room. The distressing call, made by the hotel manager, painted a vivid picture of the escalating situation. “We have a guest who’s off his head on drugs and is destroying everything in his room,” the manager stated. “We need someone urgently because, well, I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger. They must be in a room with a balcony. And well, we’re a little worried he’ll do something, that he’ll put his life at risk.”
This tragic incident has sent shockwaves through the music world, as fans and loved ones mourn the sudden loss of a beloved star. Payne’s body remains in Argentina, where authorities have initiated an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
As the investigation continues, the focus has shifted to the hotel staff’s involvement in Payne’s access to drugs, raising serious concerns about the control of illicit substances in luxury hotels. The case remains under intense scrutiny as Argentina’s legal system prepares to take action against those found complicit in this heart-wrenching tragedy.
