Liam Payne died because he was trying to escape from the hotel balcony?
Liam Payne died on October 16 after falling from a third-floor balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires. As per TMZ, the singer was ‘trying to escape' from the balcony when the fall led to his death. As per the publication, ‘Liam hated being locked up in hotel rooms’ and despite that the staff could be seen dragging the singer into his room adn locking it from outside, leaving him with no exit. Screenshots of the surveillance camera in the hotel show the singer arguing with the staff minutes before his death.
A group of staff members could be seen shoving him inside the room and taking away the mirror, seemingly to avoid damage. One of the hotel employees even called 911 to alert the authorities of the singer being in danger. The publication cited the employee telling the police, “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.” To further prove this theory the publication also mentioned that Liam's body was found with a strap on a bag and a hat, which indicates that he wished to make an exit. Additionally, a brown carry-on baggage was found on the second floor pointing that the singer attempted to first come down from the third to the second floor before going for the jump.
