He fell from the balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires. Bret Watson, a fellow hotel guest, described being deeply affected by witnessing the heartbreaking incident.
Witness Account: “Haunted by the Memory”
Speaking in a clip from TMZ Presents: Liam Payne: Who’s to Blame?, Bret recounted the moment. He explained, “I was meeting our wedding planner, and we had just gone up to our hotel room. While showing her the view from the window overlooking the pool, we saw Liam fall.”
Bret and his companions immediately rushed to their balcony. He continued, “When we looked down, we recognized Liam lying motionless on the ground, face-up. It was evident it was him.”
The witness shared how the shocking scene left a lasting impression saying, “Watching someone fall is devastating, but hearing the impact and witnessing the aftermath was even more haunting. It’s a memory that is burned into my brain, one I’m still trying to come to terms with.”
Liam Payne’s Final Days
At the time of his death, Liam was visiting Buenos Aires with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. She had left the city just days before the tragedy occurred. A few weeks earlier, the singer had attended Niall Horan’s concert.
