BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA: Fans of Liam Payne are expressing shock and anger following the emergence of a disturbing final photograph, which shows hotel staff carrying him through a hotel lobby mere hours before his untimely death.

The distressing photograph, obtained by the Daily Mail, depicted the 31-year-old singer being supported by several men moments before his tragic fall from the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires.

Liam Payne's tragic fall follows erratic behavior in hotel lobby

The CCTV footage captured an image of two individuals lifting the One Direction singer into the air while holding his arms and another grasping his legs.

According to NewsX, the timestamp shows the event happened at 4.54.48 PM. However, inconsistencies in the timing between the lobby and third-floor footage have cast doubt on the precise order of events.

Payne tragically fell 45 feet from his balcony shortly after being brought to his suite on the third floor. At 5.11 pm, paramedics arrived and pronounced him dead. He had serious head injuries, according to an autopsy.

TMZ reported that Payne was taken back to his hotel room after he was observed "acting erratically" in the lobby and allegedly seen destroying his laptop. This incident occurred shortly before Payne's untimely death, resulting from a fall from the balcony of his third-floor suite on October 16.

The Argentina National Prosecutor's Office has released a statement indicating that Payne's death was the result of "polytrauma and internal and external bleeding." The cause of death was described as "doubtful/undetermined," signifying an absence of conclusive information.

Reports also indicate that Payne had pink cocaine in his system the night he died.

Pink cocaine is a drug cocktail commonly comprising methamphetamine, MDMA, ketamine, among other substances, but typically not cocaine. Reports also indicate that Payne had cocaine, crack, and benzodiazepines in his system.

The moment an image depicting Liam Payne being carried by three men emerged on social media, it sparked a wave of outrage among users.

A user expressed, "I still can't understand how they didn't call an ambulance at once ! It's obvious he was in a very bad condition he needed help not to be dragged to his room to be alone!!!"



 

Another added, "AND NO BODY DID SOMETHING. this is so disgusting and devastating"



 

Another commentator remarked, "I’ve just seen a photo of a limp Liam Payne being carried by his hands and legs through the hotel lobby not five minutes before he was … off the 3rd floor balcony and have never had such a strong reaction to a single image, I feel physically sick. Who are those three men?"



 

"Poor liam, he is a human, why those blo0dy people were treating him so carelessly, if that happened to anyone of their loved ones, would they be same? No sympathy and humanity here. Shame on them," a fan said.



 

A person raised a question, "So they carried him up to his room while unconscious. And when he fell from the balcony he was unconscious? Come on…wtf"



 

"Was he alive when he was taken to his room," one questioned.



 

Someone else declared, "The hotel needs to be sued for negligence"
