Liam Payne reportedly spent final hours with two prostitutes before fatal fall from hotel balcony

Liam Payne, former One Direction singer, tragically died after falling from the third-floor balcony of his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. According to Buenos Aires Security Ministry communications director Pablo Policicchio, the 31-year-old "jumped from the balcony of his room" at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. 

It has now been reported by La Nación that Payne spent the last two hours before his death with two women he met through an escort website.

The two women, both 25, told authorities they had been drinking with Payne in his hotel room but left following an argument over payment. They mentioned that the singer "seemed normal" before they exited the room around 4 p.m. Payne was reportedly seen arguing with one of the women in the hotel lobby just hours before the fatal incident. An American tourist, Michael Fleishmann, who witnessed the argument, told the Buenos Aires Herald, "He seemed very upset, agitated, a little wild, walking around and pacing."

Authorities later described Payne’s hotel room as being in disarray, with champagne glasses and drug paraphernalia scattered around. Payne was traveling in Argentina with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, at the time of his death.
