A photo – purportedly his last one- shows the 31-year-old going back to Hotel CasaSur in the neighbourhood of Palermo on Wednesday.
A chilling 911 call revealed the singer was “behaving erratically” before his death with witnesses claiming he had to be carried back to his room.
The hotel’s head of reception made two frantic calls to emergency services and can be heard saying: “We have a guest who is destroying everything in his room. We need someone to come.
“They must be in a room that has a balcony. And well, we’re a little bit worried he’ll do something, that he’ll put his life at risk.”
Cops in Argentina said they were called to the hotel on Wednesday after staff reported an “aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol”.
Witnesses at the hotel reported Liam smashed his laptop and he had even had to be carried back to his room,
Cops found Liam dead in the hotel’s inner courtyard at around 5pm local time (9pm UK time) when they arrived.
The spokesperson for the local ambulance service said Liam was tragically declared dead at the scene after he fell and suffered severe injuries.

Alberto Crescenti said: “The alarm was raised at 5.04pm local time saying a person was lying in an internal patio at Casa Sur.
“At 5.11pm an ambulance arrived and the man was certified dead.
“There was no possibility of resuscitating him.”
The singer was in Buenos Aires alongside his girlfriend Kate to watch bandmate Niall Horan perform.
The pair shared photos of them posing up in front of a mirror on Snapchat before Liam’s death.
The model also took a snap of the One Direction star as they rode horses together in the countryside prior to her departure.
Liam had posted earlier in the day talking about riding horses, playing polo, and looking forward to returning home to see his dog.

911 operator: “How long has he been there? Is it a long-stay hotel?”
Hotel manager: “(The guest) has been for the past three days.”

Tributes have poured in for the singer with fans flocking to the hotel to pay their respects.
Harry Styles’ mum shared a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram writing in the caption: “Just a boy…”.
And Liam’s ex-fiancée Maya Henry was ” in shock” in the wake of the tragic news.
