Alleged photos of Liam Payne's hotel room have shown what appears to be drugs scattered across the room alongside glasses of half-drunk alcohol.
The former One Direction star tragically died on Wednesday night at the age of 31. He had been staying in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at Casa Sur hotel and suffered "extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death" after falling from a third-floor balcony .
The pictures, which were first published in La Nacion , Argentina's second biggest newspaper, also showed a burnt soda can, aluminium foil and a smashed TV screen. The pictures have been released following details of the 911 call a hotel manager made shortly before Liam's death.
Hotel Casa Sur’s head of reception made two calls to emergency services, telling a 911 operator in the first call: “We have a guest who’s off his head on drugs and is destroying everything in his room. We need someone to come.”
He phoned back after the line went dead. The manager repeated his request to the female responder and claimed: "I don't know if the guest’s life is in danger.
"The room has a balcony and we are afraid he might do something." Seconds later the hotel employee, who identified himself only by his first name of Esteban, added: "Just send an ambulance, only an ambulance."
A recording of the distressing second longer call lasting just over two minutes and leaked to local media overnight began with the 911 operator saying: “Hello, where is the emergency?”
The hotel employee replied: “Hello, good afternoon. I called just now but the line went dead. I’m calling from the Casa Sur Palermo Hotel, address 6032, Costa Rica.” The conversation continued: 911 responder: “What happened there, sir?”
Hotel employee: “Well, we have a guest who is off his head on drugs and alcohol. And well, when he is conscious he is destroying everything in the room. And well, we need you to send someone, please.”
The 911 responder asked: “Under the effects of alcohol and drugs, did you say sir?” to which the hotel manager confirmed it was "correct". He continued: "We need you to send someone urgently because, well, I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger. They must be in a room that has a balcony. And well, we’re a little bit worried he’ll do something, that he’ll put his life at risk."
911 asked: “How long has he been there? Or is it a residential hotel?” The Hotel employee replied: “No, no. He’s been here two or three days.”
He then explained they couldn't get into the room and asked the operator to send someone urgently.
