Liam Payne Was Trying To Escape From Hotel Room Before He Fell to His Death

Liam Payne was trying to escape from his hotel room when he fell to his death — and the hotel staff knew that he had threatened to use the balcony as a means of busting out.

The One Direction star reportedly hated being holed up in hotel rooms. According to a report, he appeared to be heavily intoxicated when he was dragged through the lobby by staff at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires.

Video shows that when the hotel employees reached Payne’s room, the pop singer fought back and clearly did not want to go inside.

One employee said, “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 …”

The hotel ultimately decided to leave the 31-year-old in his room by himself, and he fell to his death soon afterwards.

When Argentinian authorities discovered his body, Payne had a bag strapped around his shoulder which he did not have on him when he was being hauled through the lobby.

A hat that Payne also was not wearing earlier was found nearby, meaning he must have put it on inside of the room.

According to a police report obtained by TMZ, Payne appeared to be attempting to get from his third floor balcony to a second floor balcony in an apparent attempt to then jump to the ground from a closer distance.

Two days after Payne died, a hotel employee discovered a different brown leather bag filled with pills and a bottle of whiskey with “for Liam” written on it on the second floor balcony.

He likely tossed the bag down to the second floor and planned on retrieving it once he made it there himself.

The coroner said Payne may have been unconscious when he fell — but he appears to have been conscious just before he fell as he gathered his belongings.

Argentinian police are still investigating the last days of Payne’s life, pouring over hundreds of hours of security footage.

They believe that the singer partied with two prostitutes and went on a drug-fueled bender that culminated in the fatal fall.
