Women Who Claim to Have Spent Final Hours with Liam Payne Reveal What Happened Before His Tragic Death

Two women told investigators he struggled to pay a $5,000 fee and later tested positive for alcohol, cocaine and Klonopin, officials said.

  • On October 16, 2024, former One Direction star Liam Payne died after falling 46ft from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as witness testimonies now provide new details about his final hours.
  • Liam had arrived in Argentina 16 days before his death while awaiting a US visa renewal, spending the initial period with girlfriend Kate Cassidy and businessman Rogelio Nores before relocating to the hotel alone.
  • Aldana Serrano and Lucila Goitea alleged they were summoned to the hotel and spent roughly two hours with the singer before he grew increasingly frustrated over a $5,000 fee, smashing a £30,000 gold Rolex and punching a television.
  • With criminal negligence charges against three suspects dropped, Argentine authorities continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the fatal fall, including active proceedings related to substance distribution.
  • UK coroner hearings are processing translated evidence provided by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office as international authorities analyze forensic evidence and digital footprints to establish a full accounting of the tragedy.
