Two women who tragic Liam Payne spent his final hours with have been revealed.

The former One Direction star invited Aldana Serrano, 31, and Lucila Goitea, 27, to his hotel.

They arrived at Liam’s luxury suite in the swanky CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at around 11.30am on Wednesday, before leaving at 4pm, The Sun on Sunday reported.

Liam, 31, was reportedly seen arguing with one woman over money in the hotel’s lobby, and moments later he fell 45 feet (13 metres) to his death.

The Argentinian girls have both been quizzed by police and their stories are said to have matched up.

A source said: “Aldana and Lucila are absolutely devastated by what happened after they left the hotel.

“They co-operated with the police as soon as they were contacted and wanted to help with the investigation as much as possible.

“Police have the girls’ phone numbers and they will contact them as and when they need if they feel they need any more information.”

Fellow guest, US national Michael Fleischmann, says he overheard Liam say to the girl: “I’ll give you $US20,000 ($AU29,000) just because I can. I have $US55 million ($AU82) and I like to help people.”

His mum Toni said: “It just looked like she was extremely uncomfortable with him, and a little apprehensive.

“The lobby was almost empty at that point. It was just my son, me, Liam Payne, the woman and the staff.

“The manager was trying to politely intervene or calm him down. There was a feeling of anxiety in the area.”

One American tourist told The Sun that she saw Liam in the hotel’s lobby shouting “F**k this s**t mate” at around 4.30pm. He is said to have smashed his laptop on the floor – leaving guests and staff stunned.

Prosecutors say Liam appeared to have taken excessive amounts of booze and drugs – and they have linked his death to a probable psychotic episode. Shocking pictures show his suite’s TV smashed as well as white powder, foil and a lighter strewn across the room.
