Urgent emergency call and trashed hotel room revealed

Following his tragic death in Argentina on Wednesday, reports and photos of Liam Payne’s final hours have come to light.

Payne, a former member of the boy band One Direction, was staying at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires at the time of his death. The BBC reports that the hotel’s head receptionist urgently called 911 shortly before Liam’s fall.

According to a translated transcript released by the BBC, the caller explained: “We have a guest who has had too many drugs and alcohol and when he is conscious he trashes the whole room and we would like you to have someone “Please.”

The head receptionist continued: “You need to send someone urgently because I don’t know if his life or the guest’s life is in danger. He’s in a room with a balcony…”

That call occurred around 5:01 p.m., about 10 minutes before Liam fell.

The New York Post later obtained alleged photos of Liam’s messy hotel room.

The shocking images show a broken television, foil, white powder, a lighter and a half-full champagne glass. Wax and crumpled foil are visible in the bathtub.

Sky News reports that authorities also found the highly addictive drug Clonazepam, also known as Klonopin, in his room. It is used, for example, for epilepsy, panic disorders and muscle spasms and is also known to be used recreationally.

The website adds that Liam’s body was found in the hotel’s courtyard next to “a bottle of whiskey, a lighter and a mobile phone.”

It’s a tragic end to Payne’s life after he rose to fame in 2010 as part of The X Factor’s One Direction alongside Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik. After five studio albums and a string of hit singles, the group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016.
