The identities of the two sex workers Liam Payne was with just hours before his death have been revealed, and In Touch has learned that they both have troubled pasts.
Argentinian journalist Mercedes Ninci revealed that Aldana Milagros Serrano and Lucila Marianela Goitea were the two women that were spotted spending time with Liam before he died at the age of 31 on October 16.
Aldana, 31, and Lucila, 27, said that they met the former One Direction member through an “escort” website, and they told authorities that they “drank alcohol” with him at the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, before they got into an argument about payment and left the hotel one hour before his death, according to La Nación.
“They left prior to 4 p.m. from Payne’s room [and] left the actual hotel around that time because there was a problem, as Payne did not want to pay them,” an official involved in the investigation told the outlet.
The women have been questioned by police, though they are not considered suspects and have fully cooperated with prosecutors amid the investigation.
Upon their arrival at the hotel, Lucila and Aldana – who met for the first time in Liam’s hotel suite – claimed they let hotel staff take photos of their ID cards before they went up to his room.
In Touch has learned that Lucila is the mother of two young daughters and is living on benefits in a rundown house in Isidro Casanova that used to belong to her uncle. Isidro Casanova is part of the municipality of La Matanza, and is known as one of the most violent areas in Argentina.
Meanwhile, In Touch has also learned that Aldana is a registered cosmetologist that lives in another poor Buenos Aires suburb called Los Troncos del Talar. She currently owes several debts after taking out loans. It’s believed that Aldana is living with her son and mother after she moved out of a home she previously shared with a former partner.
Liam Payne Spotted With 2 Sex Workers With Financial Woes Hours Before His Death
The details about Aldana and Lucila have emerged two days after The Daily Mail published photos of them visiting the hotel.
Liam was seen arguing with one woman in the street about money just hours before he died, a hotel guest told The Daily Mail. The eyewitness added that he appeared “a little wild” and claimed Liam repeatedly told the woman, “I’ll give you $20,000 dollars just because I can … I have $55 million, and I like to help people.”
The hotel guest went on to allege that Liam “seemed very upset” and “agitated” during the incident, adding that he was “walking around and pacing” and “seemed very energized.”
Meanwhile, a 911 call made by a hotel staff member revealed that Liam was allegedly under the influence of substances before he fell three stories from a balcony. The “Night Changes” singer was said to have “overindulged on drugs and alcohol” prior to his death, according to audio obtained via local media by Telemundo.
“Well, when he is conscious he breaks, he is breaking the whole room,” the employee – who did not name Liam as the guest during the call – told the 911 dispatcher. “Well, we need you to send someone, please.”
The staff member added that they need police to arrive “urgently” because they believed the guest was at risk. “The guest is in a room that has a balcony and, well, we are a little afraid that he might do something life-threatening,” the caller stated.
