New reports have uncovered concerning details about Liam Payne’s final hours before his death. Sources in Argentina have shared that the former One Direction star was seen twice in the hotel lobby, once holding a bottle of whisky and later sleeping in full view of CCTV cameras.
Investigators are now questioning hotel staff to determine who may have provided Payne with drugs during his stay. While there are no signs of intentional harm or suicide, the circumstances around his passing remain under investigation.
Struggles with Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Liam Payne had previously opened up about his struggles with substance abuse and mental health. Those close to him have expressed concern that his manager had a role in his declining well-being. In the months leading up to his death, there were reports that he had become more isolated, distancing himself from family and old friends in favor of a new group.
A source told Page Six, “Liam had become very isolated…we were shocked. There was no way he was in any shape to do this.” They also criticized his manager for pushing him to take on a demanding schedule, including a Netflix show Building the Band alongside Nicole Scherzinger, which some believe contributed to his mental and physical decline.
