Liam Payne had a very tense conversation with a mystery woman at the lobby of the hotel where the British singer was found dead hours later. The 31-year-old singer fell from the third floor of the Casa Sur Hotel in the Buenos Aires Wednesday and the cops are still ascertaining the cause of his death. An American tourist, Michael Fleischmann, said Liam was arguing with an unnamed woman about money.
Mystery woman with Liam Payne: What we know about her
Liam was telling the woman he would give her money.”I’ll give you $20,000 dollars just because I can. I have $55 million and I like to help people,” he said.
The woman was speaking in Spanish and the hotel manager was translating that for Payne.
The woman looked extremely uncomfortable with Liam and a little apprehensive, Fleischmann’s mother Toni said. It was Toni, Fleischmann, Liam, that woman and the staff who was translating — at the lobby.
After some time, the woman was seen outside the hotel talking on the phone.
Two women were with Liam Payne in his room
An investigator revealed that five people have been questioned in connection to Liam’s death including two women who were with him in his room and they are well-known. It is not yet known whether any one of them was the mystery woman with whom Liam was seen at a tense moment at the hotel lobby. The investigator said the two women were not considered suspects but labeled as key witnesses. They left before Liam Payne’s fatal fall.
