Shocking new footage that appears to capture Liam Payne’s final moments shows the listless One Direction singer being dragged through the lobby of his Argentinian hotel – an image that left grieving girlfriend Kate Cassidy sobbing over the missed opportunity to mourn his tragic death to avert.

“Every time it seems like it can’t get any more painful for Kate, it gets even more painful,” a close friend of the 25-year-old influencer told The Post.

“He could have been saved, he could have been helped. It is devastating – and infuriating.”

The shocking CCTV footage recorded at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires shows three men carrying an apparently unconscious Payne by his arms and legs and leaving the building’s main lobby.

The footage was timestamped at 4:54 PM on October 16 – exactly 13 minutes before Payne was doomed.

The Post could not independently verify the accuracy of the timestamp, but a report by the Daily Mail noted that the timestamp conflicted with another CCTV image taken outside Payne’s room, which was timestamped seconds before the lobby image.

The 31-year-old singer acted erratically in the lobby for about an hour before becoming incapacitated, with a witness claiming Payne was “convulsing” on the floor, according to the outlet, which pulled a photo from the surveillance video.

Somehow, Payne ended up alone in his hotel room at 5:17 p.m

Minutes later, the “For You” singer was dead from multiple blunt force trauma after falling from his balcony.

An autopsy revealed that the former boy bander had a toxic mixture of drugs in his system at the time of his death – including crack and so-called ‘pink cocaine’ – a mixture of ketamine and other drugs.

Payne died instantly from massive internal and external injuries when he took his fatal fall, with experts telling The Post at the time that the singer appeared unconscious as he plummeted to the courtyard below.

The new footage has been devastating for Cassidy, who started dating Payne in 2022 and believes it suggests there was time to intervene in the crooner’s tragic death. She had left Argentina two days before his fatal fall.

The CCTV footage is among a trove of more than 800 hours of video footage, both in and near the hotel, that investigators are analyzing as part of Payne’s death investigation.

Officials also submitted dozens of testimonials from “hotel staff, family members, friends, medical professionals, biochemists and psychiatrists.”

Argentine police are still investigating the last days of Payne’s life. They believe the singer hosted a party with two prostitutes and suffered a drug-fueled bender, which culminated in the fatal fall. The prostitutes left the hotel after a dispute over payment, authorities said.

Local police are investigating three people in connection with the singer’s death, including his close friend Rogelio “Roger” Nores.

They have also named former hotel worker Braian Nahuel Paiz, who they say supplied him with drugs.

The 24-year-old admitted to having two hotel encounters with the ‘Story of My Life’ singer, but insisted he didn’t sell him drugs and was just having an ‘intimate’ time with him.

A third man, Ezequiel David Pereyra, is under investigation for being a ‘drug supplier’.
