Liam Payne stayed at another hotel before checking into the one where he died, and partied hard while there – but despite reports, it wasn’t enough to get him kicked out of the fancy place.
Liam and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy were staying at the Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt in Buenos Aires during the week before his death, and an employee told TMZ … the couple was definitely in celebratory vacation mode.
We’re told Liam got “very drunk” some nights, but was never belligerent. In fact, he was at least trying to be funny… since he sometimes sang in the lobby.
Earlier this week, there was a report claiming that the One Direction singer was kicked out of the Park Hyatt – but hotel staff we spoke to said that didn’t happen. We were told that he was generally a “good guy” and behaved normally.
Officially, the Park Hyatt “didn’t have any information to share” about Liam’s time there.
Liam and Kate stayed at that hotel for a week, before she flew back to Florida alone on Monday. That was when Liam stayed at Casasur Palermo, where he would die 2 days later.
As we first reported, multiple witnesses say Liam flew into a rage on Wednesday while in the Casasur lobby – slamming shut a laptop he was using, before a hotel employee escorted him to the elevator and up to his room.
His erratic behavior was bad enough that the hotel call 911saying Liam was “in and out of consciousness” and locked in his room. The caller was especially concerned about his bedroom balcony and the possibility of getting hurt.
Police said Liam jumped to his death from that third-floor balcony.
TMZ broke the story… the police are testing narcotics and medicine found in Liam’s room, and they told us that Liam’s behavior appears consistent with the effects of a drug called “Cristal.”

An autopsy has been completed, but police are awaiting toxicology results to find out what, if any, drugs Liam may have taken before his death.
