The news of the death of Liam Payne, a former member of One Direction, shook millions of fans worldwide. The British musician tragically died on October 16, 2024, at the age of 31. The incident occurred in Buenos Aires, where Payne fell from a hotel balcony located on the third floor, approximately 9 metres high. The police described the incident as "suspicious" and are investigating the matter.

According to "The Sun," the police are currently searching for two women who spent the evening with Payne before the tragic event. These women may prove to be key witnesses in the investigation. Media reports indicate that they left the hotel shortly before the incident, making them the last people to have contact with the singer. At the same time, there is no evidence suggesting that they were involved in his death.

According to information provided today by MailOnline, Liam Payne talked to one of the women from the hotel several dozen minutes before his death. In an interview with the service, she noted that Payne exhibited "disturbing and weird behaviour". The musician reportedly smashed a laptop on the floor and grabbed a young woman, simulating choking her in the hotel elevator.

I came into the hotel, and he was waiting by the elevator, and it was so clear he wanted someone to recognize him; there was something a bit desperate about him. I was with my friends and we did know who he was, but none of us were that bothered. When the lift came he suddenly said to us without any prompting: 'Yes, I'm Liam!' really drawing it out, and then said 'All right come on you lot, get in the elevator with me, I love a cuddle'. I decided against it and waited for the next one, but some of the other girls got in with him - the woman recounts.

A few minutes later, the woman noticed Liam lying with a laptop in the hotel lobby, browsing emails.

I have a blind relative, and I realized he had the laptop on its accessibility setting, for some reason, so that each time he moved the mouse, hovering over something, the machine spoke out loud to say where the cursor was. I assumed he was doing that for the attention too. Then he opened his emails and saw one, which obviously upset him. Suddenly, he took the computer, shouted, and started bashing the computer on the ground. I went over, asked 'are you OK?' But he just kind of grunted. Then he said 'I used to be in a boyband. That's why I'm so [messed] up - she confessed.
