The investigation into Liam Payne’s tragic death on October 16, 2024, continues to uncover new details. Police have demanded access to surveillance footage showing the moment Payne fell from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This footage is crucial as authorities piece together the events that led to his fatal fall. Reports suggest Payne may not have been fully conscious during the incident, which could have impacted his ability to react and protect himself.
Witness testimonies and additional video evidence reveal Payne exhibited erratic behavior before his fall. Hotel staff noted that he was visibly intoxicated and had been attempting to leave his room. Concerns about his safety prompted staff to contact emergency services before the fatal incident.
Prosecutors have ruled out suicide and believe Payne may have been trying to escape the room, evidenced by his attempts to drop a bag onto a lower balcony. Investigators are also probing allegations of drug use and possible facilitation of substance abuse during Payne’s stay at the hotel.
The case has led to charges against two individuals, including a hotel employee, for allegedly supplying Payne with drugs. Investigators are continuing to analyze Payne’s devices and other evidence as they search for answers.
Fans and former One Direction members have expressed their grief and paid tribute to Payne, remembering his significant contributions to music and the lives of those around him.
