Liam Payne reportedly acted 'erratically' in hotel lobby before tragic fall
According to reports, the 'Strip That Down' singer—who publicly battled addiction and mental health concerns—was acting "erratically" in the lobby before he fell from the third-story balcony of the hotel.
During an alleged argument, another hotel visitor claimed they saw Payne offering an unidentified woman $20K. Eyewitnesses claimed that Payne broke his laptop and had to be helped to his room.
Another hotel visitor also claimed to have heard "a really loud, violent scream" coming from Payne's room and to have seen the hotel's employees "going in and out" of the singer's room at approximately 4:30 p.m. local time.
According to Argentine officials, the hotel manager called 911 at approximately 5 p.m. to report that Payne was "on drugs and alcohol" and "breaking up the whole room."
Moreover, the manager expressed concern that Payne would hurt himself by mentioning that he had a balcony in his room, per the New York Post.
According to another hotel visitor, Payne displayed "disturbing" behavior, telling them, "I used to be in a boy band. That’s why I’m so f****d up," per Page Six.
Images of Payne's wrecked hotel room showed what appeared to be alcohol, drugs, and paraphernalia strewn all over it. According to investigators, Payne was probably under the influence when he collapsed and was in a "state of semi or unconsciousness."
