According to witnesses, the police report, a 911 call, and surveillance footage, Liam Payne was attempting to flee his hotel when he plummeted to his death. The hotel knew he was threatening to use the balcony as a means of escape, but they left him alone.
What we know is as follows. Liam detested being confined to hotel rooms, a situation he encountered while he was a member of One Direction. According to those with firsthand knowledge, he has previously tried the balcony escape strategy, most recently in mid-September. TMZ… Liam’s bodyguard dragged him into a room in a rented home in Florida because he was worried that he might be high. Liam used a garden hose to get to the ground after he fell off a balcony.
Take a look at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires surveillance screenshots. Minutes before he falls to his death, Liam, who was unruly in the lobby and obviously intoxicated, is carried to his room by three hotel staff. Despite the fact that we obscured his face, Liam is obviously conscious because he is holding his head up.

Additionally, Liam was standing straight in the lobby two minutes prior to being carried.
Liam resisted the hotel staff when they took him to his room, obviously refusing to go inside.
However, the hotel entered the room using a master key, placed Liam inside, and, according to the police record that TMZ was able to obtain, took a mirror from the wall right outside his door, perhaps to prevent him from damaging it.
Given that one of the staff members contacted 911 minutes later to express their concern that Liam might use the balcony and inadvertently injure himself, it is clear that Liam informed them that he did not want to be in the room and would use it as an escape route. The hotel worker stated, “I don’t know whether his life may be in danger,” according to the 911 tape. We’re a little scared because he’s in a room with a balcony.

As a result, the hotel staff left Liam alone in the room where he died. He had a bag wrapped across his shoulder when his body was discovered, which was not on him while he was being removed from the lobby, indicating that he was attempting to flee via the balcony.
A hat was also discovered by police on or close to Liam’s body. Given that the hat wasn’t on in the lobby, it is obvious that he put it on inside the room.

It appears that Liam was attempting to leap a short distance to the ground after moving from the third-floor balcony to the second-floor balcony. The police report, which states that two days after Liam’s death, a hotel staff member went to the second-floor room directly below Liam’s and found a brown leather bag—not the one strapped to his shoulder—on the balcony with a note that read “for Liam,” several pills, and a bottle of Jack Daniel’s. This bolsters the theory. According to the report, Liam was the owner of the bag. He most likely dropped the bag on the balcony on the second floor before trying to drop down himself.
When Liam tied the backpack over his shoulder inside his room and made his way to the balcony, he was obviously cognizant, according to the coroner, even though he may have been unconscious when he fell.
Three individuals—a friend, a waiter, and a former hotel employee who reportedly gave Liam drugs—are being targeted by Argentine authorities, who, according to a source with firsthand information, are doing so in an effort to safeguard the establishment. According to the source, the hotel is to blame for reportedly being more concerned with maintaining hotel property and preventing disturbances in the lobby than with Liam’s safety.
When we called the hotel, they responded with “no comment.”
