EXCLUSIVE ::Shocking last pictures of Liam Payne alive that raise a troubling question – could he have been saved? FRED KELLY’S bombshell investigation reveals what really happened
It is a picture that will shock music fans around the world: the late British pop star Liam Payne being manhandled through a hotel lobby by three men, just minutes before his fatal fall from a third-floor balcony.
The tragic image, which has been given to the Daily Mail, was taken from CCTV footage recorded inside the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires where Payne was staying at the time of his death on
October 16.
High on drugs, Payne, whose face we have chosen to obscure, appears to have been picked up by the trio of hotel employees – he had, according to one witness, been ‘convulsing’ on the lobby floor. He was taken, via the elevator, back to his third-floor suite.
The question is, why did they move him at all, if he was so ill? Why did the hotel not call an ambulance straight away?
The timestamp on the still image shows 16:54:48.
Bizarrely, however, a second picture taken from CCTV outside Liam’s room shows the three employees and Payne at 16:54:37. In other words, apparently eleven seconds before they were in the lobby.
The journey from the lobby to the third floor takes at least 90 seconds, according to one guest. Clearly at least one of the timestamps is incorrect.
