The images, obtained by DailyMail.com, showed the British singer – who was high on several drugs – being manhandled by the employees after one witness said he was "convulsing" on the lobby floor.

The troubled pop star was then taken by elevator back to his third-floor suite, where he fell to his death shortly after.

The timestamp on the still image showed it was taken at 4:54:48 pm. However, a second picture taken from CCTV outside Payne's room showed him and the workers at 4:54:37 pm – eleven seconds before they were in the lobby.

According to a hotel guest, getting from the lobby to the third floor takes well over a minute – meaning one of the timestamps must have been incorrect.

Just two minutes later, Payne was seen going back to his room for what was the first of three of four trips back up in a 30-minute period – according to witnesses.

Payne's behavior was reportedly more erratic every time he returned, with one onlooker claiming he received an email and exclaimed: "F--- this s--- mate", before throwing his computer on the floor.

In another alleged outburst, the singer said: "I used to be in a boyband – that's why I'm so f----- up."

The next image of Payne was the one of him being taken back upstairs by the CasaSur staff.

It can be assumed that the pop star was consuming narcotics during his trips back to his room, as a toxicology report confirmed Payne had "pink cocaine" – a combination of ketamine, methamphetamine, and ecstasy – as well as benzodiazepine, cocaine, and crack in his system at his time of death.
