Liam Payne’s tragic final moments have raised significant questions after CCTV footage from the Buenos Aires hotel where he passed away surfaced. The footage reportedly shows him being carried through the hotel lobby by three men, believed to be hotel staff, shortly before his fatal fall from a third-floor balcony on October 16, 2024. Witness accounts suggested that Payne was “unconscious” in the footage and exhibited erratic behavior earlier that evening, including damaging property in the hotel lobby.
His girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, expressed deep anguish, believing that Liam “could have been helped” and stating that the situation was both “devastating and infuriating.” Reports from that night indicate Payne may have been convulsing, and an autopsy revealed substances in his system, including crack cocaine and “pink cocaine.” While the official cause of death was the impact from the fall, the circumstances leading up to the incident remain under investigation, with authorities reviewing extensive CCTV footage and interviewing multiple individuals connected to the cases sparked widespread grief, with many reflecting on Payne’s struggles and the pressures he faced throughout his career. He was remembered at a funeral attended by family, friends, and former One Direction bandmates in the UK.
