The horrifying photos of Liam Payne's drugs death scene show the late singer spent his final moments inside a destroyed hotel room and surrounded by drugs just before his tragic death – and could now be key to nailing the dealers feared to have preyed on the singer after he fell off the wagon during his final days in Argentina.

RadarOnline.com can reveal local cops are amping up the manhunt for pushers suspected of supplying the late One Direction singer with the deadly cocktail of drugs he binged on before his fatal fall from the 45ft-high balcony of his third-floor suite of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires.

Less than a week after his death, it was reported that according to the toxicology reports, the One Direction star had "pink cocaine," a combination of ketamine, methamphetamine, and ecstasy, as well as benzodiazepine, cocaine, and crack in his bloodstream.

ABC News also reported a makeshift aluminum pipe was spotted nearby — most likely used for ingesting the substances.

Since the tragedy, police have been piecing together Payne's final moments,

Before the singer's tragic death, it was reported that he allegedly invited two escorts up to his hotel room.

The women claimed they were called to the hotel through an escort service platform.

Argentina's prosecutor's office said the two women have provided statements.

Payne's longtime girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, had left Argentina just 48 hours before his death because she was "so ready to leave."

It was also reported that witnesses at the same hotel Payne was staying at said he was acting erratically in the lobby and smashed his laptop.

Hotel workers called authorities and begged for help to arrive urgently, but shortly after the call was made Payne's body was discovered in the courtyard.

Payne was pronounced dead on the scene after suffering severe injuries from his 45ft fall, including a cranial fracture.

According to local outlets, an autopsy showed the singer died from “multiple traumas” that caused “internal and external bleeding.”

Geoff arrived at the hotel on Friday and stopped to thank fans for their support.
