The month of October was marked by the death of Liam Payne. The 31-year-old popstar died in a fall from the balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Shortly after the announcement of this terrible tragedy, Geoff Payne, the singer's father, took the first plane from London to go to Argentina to closely follow the first elements of the investigation. Initial autopsy results revealed that Kate Cassidy's companion had used several substances before the fall. Thursday, November 7, three weeks after the tragedy, the Argentine authorities published a final autopsy report, given to the family. This document confirms the presence of alcohol, cocaine and antidepressants in the singer's blood system, and specifies that he was probably not fully conscious at the time of his fall from the third floor.
At the same time, the investigation led to the arrest of three people, including a hotel employee. Meanwhile, the body of Liam Payne was repatriated to the United Kingdom for his funeral, which took place on November 16, in the presence of his family and all the members of One Direction, the boy band of which he was a member. . This Monday, November 25, TMZ made a major revelation concerning the circumstances of the artist's death.
Liam Payne: the singer threatened hotel employees before dying
According to a witness who spoke to TMZ, Liam Payne was trying to escape his hotel when he fell from his room's balcony. The Casa Sur Hotel where Bear Payne's father stayed “knew he was threatening to use the balcony as a means of escape”. And for good reason, Liam Payne, who hated closed and confined places, tended to escape through the window as soon as he felt “threat”. On the day of his death, when he had a scandal in the hotel lobby an employee had accompanied him to his room.
CCTV screenshots from the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires show the star, upset and under the influence of substancescarried by three hotel employees to his room, a few minutes before his fatal fall. Although his face is blurred in the images, the ex-One Direction man appears conscious and holds his head up. When he was escorted to his room, the struggling singer was clearly opposed to the idea of staying there. Despite this, the employees used a key to open the room, locked him inside, and even removed a mirror from outside the room to prevent damage.
Liam Payne had his bag with him when he fell to his death
A hotel employee called 911 a few minutes later, saying he feared that Liam Payne would accidentally hurt himself while trying to escape. According to the call transcript, the employee said: “I don't know if his life is in danger. He's in a room with a balcony, but we're a little scared…” Despite these concerns, the employees left the star alone in the room, where he died. According to the clues left in the room, he was trying to use the balcony to flee, because when the authorities found his bodyhe was carrying a bag over his shoulder that he hadn't had when he was escorted from the hall. A revelation which sweeps away the theory according to which the singer would have committed suicide.
