Liam Payne's Tragic Final Hours: New Claims Suggest He Could Have Been Saved
A source close to Liam Payne has claimed that he did not take his own life and, in fact, could have been saved. This statement comes as part of an extensive account regarding the final hours of the One Direction star.
According to the source, those closest to Liam believe that if an ambulance had been called immediately when he collapsed in a hotel lobby in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, he 'would have lived.' The source expressed deep regret, saying: 'Liam didn't have to die. Liam didn't want to die. He had promised us all he would never commit suicide. He was looking forward to the future.'
Reports state that within hours of his death, Liam had been working on re-recording his favorite One Direction song, "Fireproof," on his computer. At the time of his tragic passing, he was in Argentina to renew his U.S. visa and had just passed several medical and psychological tests, which showed he was 'totally clean.'
Just prior to his passing, Liam had shared a meal of chocolate-chip cookies, his favorite treat, and seemed to be in good spirits, planning to return home to his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, in Miami.
Events Leading to Liam's Death
Liam, aged 31, tragically fell from a hotel balcony on Wednesday afternoon. He died instantly, having plunged approximately 45 feet from his third-floor hotel room. Reports indicate that drugs, including a potent hallucinogenic known as 'cristal,' were found in his room. This substance can induce blackouts and psychotic episodes.
The source raised questions about how Liam obtained the drugs, especially given that he reportedly had no money at the time. Multiple police sources have suggested that someone from the hotel may have supplied him with drugs, prompting an internal investigation by the hotel that has already resulted in at least one employee being dismissed.
Liam's Last Moments
Witnesses stated that Liam had been in a difficult situation prior to his death. He was seen arguing with two women in the hotel lobby, and some reports indicate that he experienced a disturbing episode in which he needed to be physically helped back to his room after passing out in the lobby. Despite his condition, the hotel staff chose not to call for medical assistance, a decision that has left friends and family bewildered.
While Liam had been enjoying his time in Argentina and had been seen in good spirits, enjoying coffee and food with friends, the situation escalated quickly. A hotel employee later called 911 to report damage to the hotel room and expressed concern that he might jump. The source questioned why, if there was concern for his safety, he was left alone in a room with an open door leading to the balcony.
Aftermath and Investigation
As investigations into Liam's death continue, many are grappling with difficult questions. Family and friends feel tormented by the possibility that immediate medical intervention could have saved him. Funeral arrangements are set to be made once his body is repatriated to the UK.
The source concluded that the current narrative around Liam's death has been misrepresented, with some portraying him as someone who sought to end his life due to struggles with drugs and depression. Instead, they describe him as being happy and optimistic, making plans for the future. They firmly believe that if someone had called for help when he first collapsed, he would still be alive today.
