Police in Buenos Aires are reportedly investigating the tragic death of Liam Payne and are on the hunt for a drug dealer after white powder was found in the star’s hotel room. The Sun newspaper reported that pictures from inside the hotel suite showed the alleged presence of drugs. The publication Clarin also released images of the damage and drugs found in the room where Payne was staying.

Authorities plan to test the items found in the room to determine if they are illegal substances and will also look into who may have supplied them. Payne had been open about his struggles with alcohol abuse, revealing in a YouTube video in 2023 that he had spent time in rehab and was six months sober.

On the day of his death, Payne reportedly fell from his third-floor hotel room in Argentina after behaving erratically and causing damage in the hotel lobby. The hotel owner described him as a guest under the influence of drugs who was destroying the room, leading to a call for assistance.

The tragic end of the young star has shocked many, including Commons Leader Lucy Powell and radio host Greg James, who expressed their condolences and fond memories of Payne. Powell described his death as a sad conclusion for someone so young, while James celebrated Payne’s fun-loving and sweet personality.

Payne had traveled to Argentina to reunite with his former bandmate Niall Horan, who was scheduled to perform in the country. The investigation into his death and the alleged presence of drugs in his hotel room continues as authorities seek to uncover the truth behind the tragic event.
