Liam Payne had ‘drug-fuelled threesome with prostitutes before tragic death’
Liam Payne had a drug-fuelled threesome with two prostitutes hours before he fell to his death from a hotel balcony, a report has claimed.
A forensic examination of the 31-year-old’s final few hours reveals he contacted two women — Aldana Serrano and Lucila Goitea — through a sex-worker website and invited them to his room at the CasaSur in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The women arrived at 11.30am on October 16, the day of his death, to find the former One Direction star inhaling a “crystal-like” drug from aluminium foil.

The account of the singer’s final hours before he fell 45ft to his death from the third floor is documented in a 35-page court ruling prepared by judges in Argentina to explain their decision to drop charges against a friend of Payne’s and two hotel workers in relation to his death.
The report exonerates Rogelio ‘Roger’ Nores, 35, who had been accused of negligent manslaughter. He has now had the case against him dropped, as have Gilda Martin, the hotel’s head of security, and Esteban Grassi, the chief receptionist who made an emergency call just before Payne died.
The report gives the clearest insight yet into how the star spent his final hours. Ms Goitea, 27, told investigators: “He (Payne) had...a small whiskey that he was drinking. He was consuming something like crystal, with aluminium foil and he asked us to get (drugs) for him and we had nowhere to get it or anything because we don’t do that. During the time we were there we had sex.”
Toxicology tests found traces of alcohol, cocaine, benzodiazepine, crack cocaine and “pink cocaine” – which is a combination of crystal meth, ketamine and MDMA.
Describing the scene in the hotel room, Ms Goitea said: “Everything was disorganised, messy. There were aluminium foils lying around with drugs... on the part of the sofa there were other burnt aluminium foils... mess, clothes lying around. I remember that he had a strong smell of alcohol but he looked good, he looked a harmonious person, if you didn’t get close and smell the alcohol on him you didn’t realise that he had consumed so much.”
After leaving abruptly, Ms Goitea and Ms Serrano, 31, had to return to the room because they had forgotten some of their belongings.
The ruling by judges Julio Lucini and Hernán López notes: “On that occasion Payne apologised to them, even kneeling down as he did so and they left.”
Ms Serrano added that at one point Payne “took off his watch and threw it against the wall”.
Following the prosecutor’s decision on Thursday, Mr Nores said he was “delighted” to be cleared of any involvement in his friend’s death.
The American citizen had been accused of having “abandoned him (Liam Payne) to his luck knowing that he was incapable of fending for himself and knowing that he suffered from multiple addictions”, court documents showed.

Mr Nores shared with the Mail the court ruling, which overturned a decision made on December 27 to keep him in the country and indict him over Liam’s death.
The ruling said the prosecutors “have not pointed out any relationship or complicity on the part of Nores with the two defendants for supplying narcotics to Liam Payne”.
Waiter Braian Nahuel Paiz and suspended hotel worker Ezequiel David Pereyra still face charges of supplying drugs to the singer.
But Judge Laura Bruniard did say Mr Nores “failed to fulfil his duties of care, assistance and help” towards Payne.
Mr Nores said: “I am delighted to be a free man and innocent of all charges. Liam was my friend and I am so sorry for what happened but as my legal team and I explained to the court very clearly, I had nothing to do with it and I am not in any way responsible.”
