Friends of Liam Payne have claimed that the star was sober just days before his tragic 45ft fall from a hotel balcony. Insiders revealed that he had entered Argentina on September 30 with the intention of renewing his expired US visa.They said that during his conversation with US embassy officials, his previous rehab stints were brought up and he was asked to take a drug test to confirm his sobriety for visa renewal.

Speaking to The Sun, a source shared: "The embassy said he needed to do a strict investigation including X-rays and a blood test to search for traces of drugs.

He was completely clean the Thursday before he died. On the weekend at his friend's ranch, he was completely sober." An insider confirmed that Liam was examined by a US Embassy-certified doctor and collected his clean results on Tuesday.The source also revealed that Liam's close friend Roger last saw him for ten minutes on Wednesday, leaving the hotel at 3.30pm.The insider recalled: "Roger told him, 'I've got to run' and Liam said, 'Go do your own thing'.That was the last thing they said to each other." They added: "Roger is upset - at one point on Wednesday he was phoned by a hotel manager who said they had found Liam asleep on the floor of the elevator.They moved him to the sofa in the hotel lobby but the manager said he couldn't stay there, and that he needed to go to his room. "In the emergency call, they said they were worried Liam's life was in danger because he was in a room with a balcony.""Why didn't they just let him stay sleeping in the lobby if they were worried about this? " a friend of Roger questioned, adding that "Liam's behaviour hadn't been off at all - he was happy." The One Direction star arrived with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy.
