A man who witnessed Liam Payne fall to his death is “still trying to come to terms” with the tragedy he witnessed.

The One Direction star died after diving from his hotel room balcony in Buenos Aires in October at the age of 31. Another guest at the establishment, Bret Watson, said he was “haunted” by watching the incident unfold before him.

Speaking in a TMZ Presents clip, he said: “I was meeting our wedding planner. We went up to the room. We were looking out our hotel window at the pool to show him the view and we saw Liam fall. We immediately rushed to the balcony. When we looked down, we saw it was Liam lying on the ground. He landed face down on the ground, so we saw right away that it was Liam and he was still. Seeing someone fall like that is heartbreaking, but being able to see it happen and hear the impact on the ground was more haunting than seeing them fall. Seeing the immediate consequences is something that has burned itself into my brain and that I will never forget. It’s something I’m still trying to digest. »
