Liam Payne’s final moments before his tragic death in Buenos Aires have been pieced together based on witness accounts and police reports. The former One Direction star was staying at the Casa Sur Palermo Hotel, where staff reported erratic behavior. Payne had been drinking heavily and using drugs, including pink cocaine, according to autopsy results. Hotel staff described him as “trashing the room” and making erratic requests before his fatal fall from the balcony.
The night before his death, Payne reportedly ordered large quantities of alcohol and drugs, and engaged in chaotic behavior, including breaking objects and interacting aggressively with hotel staff. Witnesses claimed he was visibly intoxicated and struggling with substance use. Hours before his death, Payne was carried to his room by hotel employees after causing disturbances in the lobby.
In his final hours, Payne was seen searching for drugs and interacting with various individuals in the hotel. Reports indicate a 911 call was made by hotel staff, describing him as a guest under the influence and in potential danger. Despite the arrival of police, Payne fell from his balcony shortly after, with investigators suggesting he was not fully conscious at the time.
Authorities believe the fall was accidental rather than intentional, as surveillance footage showed no deliberate actions leading up to the event. Payne’s death has shocked fans and the music world, leaving questions about his struggles and the events leading to his untimely passing.
