Liam Paynes girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, continues to suffer as more details about the late singers death surface online.
On Friday, the Daily Mail published disturbing images from CCTV footage of the late One Direction member being carried through the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, seemingly just before his tragic death on Oct. 16, according to a timestamp on the footage.
Per the outlet, Payne had been convulsing in the lobby in the hour before his death as a result of the singers drug use.
He could have been saved, he could have been helped, a close friend of Cassidy, 25, exclusively told The Post. Its devastating and infuriating.
The pal added, Whenever it seems it cant get more painful for Kate, it gets even more painful.
The footage appears to show two hotel guests walking by as three men two dressed in suits and a third more casually with a backpack carried Payne. Two women were also photographed looking at the chaotic scene standing near the reception desk.
Page Six has been unable to independently confirm the identities of the individuals carrying Payne, but the Daily Mail claimed they were hotel employees.
A receptionist at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires told us Friday they are unable to comment.
The men seem to have brought Payne to his third-floor room at around 4:54 p.m. local time, as another CCTV camera captured Payne and three men outside his room at that time.
If the lobby footage was indeed captured around that time, it is not clear why the men would have taken him back to his suite instead of keeping him in the lobby until medical help arrived.
In October, the 911 call the hotel manager placed just before Paynes death was released.
We have a guest who is [allegedly] high and drunk; and when he is conscious, he is destroying his room and we need you to send someone, please. We need you to send someone urgently because I dont know if his life is in danger, the man, identified only as Estaban, told the dispatcher.
He is in a room that has a balcony and we are scared he might be endangering his life.
When the dispatcher asked the manager if he was interested in police being called to the scene, he only requested SAME, Argentinas medical emergencies services.
By the time the ambulance arrived, however, Payne had fallen from his hotel balcony in a state of semi or total unconsciousness, which meant suicide was ruled out.
SAME head Alberto Crescenti previously told Argentinas Todo Noticias TV channel, We arrived in time to try and revive him, but there was nothing we could do.
Guests had reportedly seen Payne acting erratically earlier in the day and even smashed his laptop in the hotel lobby, prompting workers to escort him back up to his room.
Page Six has reached out to Paynes estate rep and attorney for comment but did not immediately hear back. Local police declined to comment and the prosecutors office in Argentina could not be reached.
The investigation into Paynes death is ongoing, but at the time of publication, only three people have been charged.
An alleged drug dealer and a former hotel employee named Braian Nahuel Paiz were charged with supplying the Story of My Life singer with narcotics. Paiz has denied the claims against him.
The prosecutors office also charged Paynes friend, believed to be Rogelio Roger Nores, with negligence for failing to inform the singers family of his relapse and not responding to hotel staffs calls.
