PAYNE & PERRY 2 PEAS IN A POD!

Both done in by vultures

Liam and Matthew died drugged up and alone

THE tragic findings in the drug-linked deaths of One Direction crooner Liam Payne and Friends star Matthew Perry are so similar it’s mind-boggling.

In both cases, cops have busted people surrounding the stars, accusing them of being enablers — and, guess what, they weren’t even close friends or family! No, they were opportunistic hangers-on and people familiar with the drug scene.

Perry, 54, was found dead in the hot tub of his L.A. home on Oct. 28 last year. He was pumped full of the often-lethal drug ketamine, which coroners determined he’d shot up TWICE that day!
