Liam Payne, the former One Direction star, tragically passed away after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. New reports suggest that Payne had tried to escape from his hotel room before his fatal fall, with security footage revealing his actions and the response of hotel staff.

The incident took place at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. Liam Payne, 31, was reportedly in a highly intoxicated state and had refused to go to his hotel room, as he often disliked staying in hotel rooms.

Instead of going to his room quietly, he was seen struggling with hotel staff in the lobby, who attempted to guide him back to his room. The security footage showed Payne resisting and being dragged by staff members, making it clear he was not cooperating.

After successfully getting him back to his room, one of the hotel employees contacted emergency services. The staff member expressed concern over Payne’s safety, particularly because the room had a balcony. According to reports, the hotel employee told 911: "I don’t know whether his life may be in danger. He is in a room with a balcony, and, well, we’re a little afraid." Despite these concerns, the staff left Payne alone in the room. Tragically, shortly after, Payne fell from the third-floor balcony and died.

In the aftermath of the incident, Argentinian prosecutors carried out a thorough investigation. They ruled out suicide, stating that Payne was likely unconscious when he fell. The investigation suggested that he did not jump intentionally. As a result of the incident, three people were arrested, although the exact details surrounding their arrests have not been fully disclosed.

Liam Payne’s death has shocked his fans and the entertainment world, with many expressing their grief over his loss. The details surrounding the events leading up to his death have raised many questions, but the investigation is still ongoing. Authorities continue to examine the actions of both hotel staff and others involved to understand fully what led to his tragic fall.

While the investigation into the circumstances of Payne’s death is still open, it’s clear that the singer had a difficult time before the tragic event. His struggle with hotel staff and his intoxicated state are believed to have contributed to the tragic accident. It’s also evident that the hotel staff were concerned for his safety but were unable to prevent the fall. The arrest of three individuals indicates that there may be more to the story, and further investigations will likely shed more light on the situation.
