Now the city’s cops are raiding the hotel looking for information on staff who sold the drugs to Liam he is believed to have consumed before he died.

Officers were seen going through documents and examining computers in the hotel lobby.

Prosecutors said last week in a statement they believe Liam was in “in a state of semi or total unconsciousness” during a substance-induced episode when he fell.

Investigators have indicated they do not suspect any “third-party” involvement but have made it clear the hunt is still on for the dealer.

Insiders also claim investigators want more CCTV footage around the time of his death.

Police believe Liam was smuggled drugs hidden in a Dove soap box and were last week said to be probing two hotel staff including a cleaner.
