More details about Liam Payne’s tragic death have come to light.
Approximately two months following the fall from the balcony of his Argentinian hotel room, a witness reminisced about a distressing incident that occurred before the same venue was set to host the alum’s upcoming wedding, as he was 31 years old at the time.
Bret Watson reminisced in a segment of TMZ Presents: Liam Payne: Who’s to Blame?, “I was catching up with our wedding planner. We had moved to our hotel room. As we were gazing out of the window, overlooking the pool area, trying to give her a glimpse of the view, we spotted Liam taking a tumble.
He went on, swiftly stepping out onto the balcony. Upon looking down, it became clear that Liam was sprawled on the ground below us. His position was face-up, making it instantly recognizable as Liam, and unfortunately, he appeared to be completely still.
Watson, stating he was on the hotel’s ground level during the occurrence, mentioned that the echo of his fall still resonates with him.
“Seeing anyone fall like that is heartbreaking, but being able to see it happen and then hear the impact on the ground was more haunting than seeing him fall,” he shared in the preview. “Then, seeing the immediate aftermath, it’s something that’s burned into my brain and something I’m never going to forget.”
He added that he’s “still working through and trying to process” the tragic moment.
Before Zayn Malik tragically fell, it was reported that Watson and his wedding guests observed the “Teardrops” singer acting strangely and angrily in the lobby. This included him throwing his laptop forcefully onto the floor, swearing loudly, and causing a scene before being escorted out by hotel staff. However, Zayn Malik’s friend Roger Nores—who claims he is not involved in any investigations related to the singer’s death—disputed these accounts.
In the show, he shared that he was feeling quite cheerful. He seemed well-composed and engaged with everyone. He appeared to be enjoying himself, even laughing heartily. Nothing about his demeanor seemed unusual.
In the tragic events that transpired, it was ascertained that my untimely demise was due to numerous traumatic wounds, coupled with both internal and external bleeding. The autopsy report, released in November, also indicated that at the moment of my passing, traces of alcohol, cocaine, and a prescribed antidepressant were found in my system, as per Argentina’s public prosecutor’s statement translated from Spanish.
According to court papers acquired by TMZ last November, prosecutors alleged that Payne, who openly discussed his battles with substance abuse, spent his day consuming alcohol and searching for drugs. Law enforcement officials also reported that a friend showed up at his hotel while the singer was drinking whiskey. Notably, Nores stated earlier that he wasn’t being investigated in relation to Payne’s death.
He stated in a recent interview with the Daily Mail, “I did not leave Liam behind.” He visited Liam’s hotel on three occasions that very day, and he departed 40 minutes prior to the incident. There were more than fifteen individuals socializing and joking with him in the lobby when he left.
I honestly wouldn’t have expected such an occurrence, but on October 17th, I provided a statement to the prosecutor as a witness. Since then, I haven’t had any contact with a police officer or prosecutor.
Read on for everything we know about Liam’s death.
On October 16, 2024, it was tragically confirmed by the Emergency Medical Response System (SAME) to Telemundo that Liam Payne had passed away at the age of 31 in Argentina.
The singer met a tragic end by falling fatally from a balcony on the third floor of a hotel in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, where he was temporarily residing, as stated in a press release by the 14th National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office. An autopsy concluded that Payne died due to severe injuries and internal and external bleeding caused by the fall.
According to the statement, medical examiners found 25 injuries on Payne’s body during the autopsy that were consistent with those caused by a fall from a great height. These head injuries were severe enough to cause his death, while various internal and external hemorrhages in the skull, chest, abdomen, and limbs contributed to the manner of his death.
The toxicology report indicated that traces of alcohol, cocaine, and an antidepressant prescribed to him were found in his system, as stated in a press release dated November 7th by the Argentine Public Prosecutor.
Authorities do not think that his death was a result of suicide, as per a Nov. 7 press release from Argentina’s public prosecutor. The statement suggests that the victim might have been unconscious when he fell, which implies that his actions were likely unintentional since, in his condition, he wouldn’t have known what he was doing or understood it.
According to the hotel’s account and police reports, it appears that Payne fell from a balcony on the third floor of CasaSur Palermo hotel at 5:07 p.m. local time on October 17th. Prior to this incident, the hotel had called emergency services due to a guest (Payne) who was under the influence of drugs and alcohol and had damaged some items in his room. Upon arrival, officers found Payne already dead at the scene due to the gravity of his injuries sustained from the fall.
In an audio recording of a 911 call broadcasted by Telemundo in Argentina, a hotel worker is heard asking for help from the authorities. The caller describes a guest who has been excessively consuming drugs and alcohol, saying “He becomes destructive when he’s conscious, wrecking the entire room.” The employee then requests immediate assistance, fearing that the guest might harm himself due to his erratic behavior and the fact that his room has a balcony. Payne, who is later identified as the problematic guest, did not mention by name in the call. NBC News attempted to contact Payne’s representative for comment but received no response.
Argentina’s chief prosecutor announced on November 7 that three individuals have been indicted in connection to a case where suspicious activities were uncovered, according to a press release translated from Spanish.
According to a statement released by the prosecutor’s office on November 7, extensive and thorough investigative steps were taken to understand the circumstances surrounding Payne’s death. This involved obtaining numerous testimonies from hotel staff, family members, friends, medical professionals, biochemists, and psychiatrists.
Nevertheless, the report published on November 7 states that the investigation needs to carry on because there are additional steps to complete, such as accessing the victim’s damaged netbook and other confiscated devices that are yet to be unlocked and examined.
Prior to his unfortunate demise, singer Payne was vacationing in Argentina with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. Pictures and videos from their trip were publicly shared via Payne’s Snapchat account, showcasing the couple enjoying each other’s company, discussing plans for horseback riding, sharing meals, and cherishing their time together. The last image posted on Payne’s Snapchat on the day of his death depicted him and Cassidy in swimsuits.
Cassidy stated in a TikTok video posted on October 14th that she was more than eager to return to the U.S., expressing her discomfort with staying in one place for extended periods, especially since their initial five-day stay had turned into two weeks. She felt an overwhelming desire to go home.
Following Liam Payne’s demise, his bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan publicly conveyed their sorrow. On October 17th, the group posted a joint message on Instagram, saying, “We are deeply saddened by Liam’s passing. In due time, when everyone is ready, we will share more thoughts. For now, we will take some moments to grieve and come to terms with the loss of our cherished brother.
