Shocking images allegedly show drugs and drink in Liam Payne’s smashed-up hotel room after he fell to his death from the balcony, as police are hunting for his dealer, according to local reports.
The images — verified by Argentina’s biggest newspaper, La Nacion — reportedly show a smashed television, a half-empty glass of what appeared to be champagne, and foil and powder scattered across Payne’s third-floor room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
Photos of a desk show a Dove soap packet, an empty glass and the remains of a burned candle and the burned top of a drink can — along with traces of a white powder that authorities will test to confirm suspicions it could be cocaine, La Nacion reported.
There was also wax and burned foil in the bathtub, according to La Nacion, which said the images were verified by official sources involved in the death investigation.
Argentinian officials received a 911 call around 5 p.m. about an “aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol,” according to Pablo Policicchio, communications director for the Buenos Aires Security Ministry.
Policicchio claimed Wednesday that the 31-year-old singer “had jumped from the balcony of his room.”
