Liam Payne's cell phone could help solve several unanswered questions surrounding the former One Direction star's tragic death.
RadarOnline.com can reveal the police in Argentina believe the circumstances around the singer's fatal fall are "suspicious" as they hunt his potential drug dealer.
Liam Payne fell to his death from his hotel balcony.
Authorities claim Liam's phone, which was removed from his hotel room, will be key to determining who may have supplied him with drugs.
The former One Direction star's phone could also reveal what happened leading to the 31-year-old's fall from his balcony in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, October 16.
Police say there is no sign of a third party being involved in the late pop star's death. However, they discovered "what appeared to be narcotics, alcohol, destroyed objects and furniture" in his hotel room.
Payne had an argument with a mystery woman on the night of his death according to hotel guests..
The cops reportedly spoke with two key witnesses who may have been the last to see Liam alive.
Argentina's prosecutor's office said two women who were allegedly with Liam Payne the night before his untimely death have now provided statements.
According to Argentine outlet Infobae, both women left the Hotel CasaSur without the pop star after waiting for him in the lobby.
Authorities claim there is no indication the women could be involved in any way in the star's fatal fall.
Cassidy documented her travel home from Argentina on TikTok a day before Payne's death.
Witnesses said the fall happened around 5 pm local time, shortly after Liam was spotted "acting erratic" in the hotel lobby — smashing his laptop and getting carried back to his room.
Police had previously been called to the hotel due to an "aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol".
City ambulance spokesperson Alberto Crescenti told the media: "The injuries (Liam) had suffered as a result of the fall proved to be fatal. There was no possibility of resurrecting him."
Liam originally traveled to South America with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy.
Forensic teams reportedly retrieved a whiskey bottle, lighter and mobile phone from the building's internal courtyard where Liam's body was found.
Local police have yet to confirm what the substances found in the room are and are due to run tests on them shortly.
The forthcoming toxicology report is expected to provide further insights into the events surrounding the incident.
