Shocking footage reportedly shows drugs and booze in Liam Payne’s trashed hotel room after he fell to his death from the balcony, as police hunt for his dealer, according to local reports.

The images – verified by Argentina’s largest newspaper, La Nacion – reportedly show a broken television, a half-empty glass of what appeared to be champagne, and foil and powder strewn about Payne’s room on the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.

Desk photos show a packet of Dove soap, an empty glass and the remains of a burnt candle and the burnt top of a drinks can – along with traces of a white powder that authorities will test to confirm suspicions it could be cocaine are, La Nacion reported.

There was also wax and burnt foil in the bathtub, according to La Nacion, which said the images had been verified by official sources involved in the death investigation.

Argentine officials received a 911 call around 5 p.m. about an “aggressive man who may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol,” said Pablo Policicchio, communications director for Buenos Aires’ Ministry of Security.

Policicchio claimed on Wednesday that the 31-year-old singer “jumped from the balcony of his room.”

Sources close to the investigation also told the newspaper that Payne’s body was found on the ground floor with “a bottle of whisky, a lighter and a mobile phone.”

Police also found several blister packs of medications including Clonazepam, energy drinks and other over-the-counter drugs, the outlet reported.

The verification of the sensational photos came as Argentine officials vowed to track down the drug dealer who supplied Payne with the illegal substances found in his room, the outlet reported.

Throughout his career, both while with One Direction and after the band broke up, Payne had gone to rehab at least twice for alcohol addiction – and previously opened up about how his addiction made him feel suicidal.

“I was afraid of how far my bottom would be. Where is the low point for me? And you would never have seen it. I’m very good at hiding it. No one would have ever seen it,” Payne said during a 2021 appearance on the “The Diary of a CEO” podcast.

The singer fractured his skull and died immediately from “very serious injuries” after the sudden fall, medical officials confirmed Thursday.

First responders rushed to the CasaSur Palermo Hotel after receiving a distress call from the frantic manager on Wednesday evening, but they could do nothing to save him, said Alberto Crescenti, head of Buenos Aires’ emergency services.

“Our role was to get there quickly, provide medical assistance and try to resuscitate him, but his injuries were incompatible with life,” the top medic said, according to La Nacion.

“Based on what the team saw, there apparently was a skull fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death.”

He added: “There was absolutely nothing the team could do. No resuscitation took place as he was confirmed deceased. The whole body had very serious injuries.”

The singer’s body has since been sent for an autopsy, officials said.

Payne rose to fame when he auditioned for ‘The X Factor’ in 2010, when he was just 16. He was placed in the boy band One Direction, alongside Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson, and the group became a global phenomenon. .

The band’s split began in 2015 when Malik left the group in the middle of their world tour. One Direction went on indefinite hiatus the following year.

Payne is survived by a son, Bear, 7, with his ex, singer Cheryl Cole.
