Daily Mail obtained over 3,000 documents and images from police investigating the 31-year-old's death. One photo taken the night before shows him swinging around a pole. Staff brought alcohol to him repeatedly. On the day he died, Payne met two women in the lobby; they later told police he sang for them and asked if they wanted to take drugs. Toxicology reports found cocaine, crack, ketamine, and alcohol in his system. A hotel employee had called 911 expressing concern before the fall. Argentine businessman Rogelio Nores, a close friend, was investigated for abandonment but was cleared of all charges earlier this year. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - ndtv.com Tags: Buenos Aires, celebrity death, investigation, Liam Payne, One Direction, toxicology report Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/new-photos-show-liam-paynes-final-hours-before-death/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
