Was Liam Payne Intoxicated At The Time Of His Death?
According to a few publications, Liam may have been under the influence in the hours preceding his death. He allegedly “smashed his laptop” in the hotel lobby and had to be escorted back to his room. According to a leading newswire, the police were alerted about an “aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol.”
An audio recording of the 911 call from the hotel manager to the police was aired by an Argentine news channel. The manager stated, “We have a guest who is on drugs and is destroying the whole room, so we need someone to come.”
The news agency confirmed this, noting that the call was made in distress. “When he is conscious, he is destroying the entire room, and we need you to send someone,” the worker added, emphasizing that the guest’s life was in danger due to the presence of a balcony.
The hotel manager reportedly heard a loud noise from the back of the hotel. When the police arrived, they found that a man had fallen from the balcony of his room, later identified as the British singer. A gathering of fans formed outside the hotel, with some embracing and crying.
Liam Payne is survived by a son named Bear, whom he shares with British TV personality and Girls Aloud singer Cheryl.
