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.
