Liam Payne’s sudden death shocked the international artist community and audiences. Recently, international media published details of a 911 call from a hotel employee. According to BBC , the receptionist made two consecutive calls due to interruptions.

Minutes before Liam Payne fell from the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Argentina, the receptionist called 911, according to the Telegraph . A recording released by the police shows that the receptionist said he feared the guest was in danger.

“I’m calling from CasaSur Palermo, we have a guest who is high on drugs and alcohol. When he sobers up, he’s trashing his entire room. So send someone, please,” the staff member said urgently in the recording.

“You need to send someone right away because I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger. He is in a room with a balcony and we are afraid he might do something that could endanger his life,” the staff member continued.

During the call, this person also said that Liam Payne had been at the hotel for 2-3 days.

According to CNN , a photo of Liam Payne’s hotel room in Argentina provided by police shows a smashed television. Some of the pieces are scattered on the floor. The television is placed in a corner and a large crack can be seen in the middle of the screen.

There were a large crowd at the scene. Some fans cried in anguish and clung to each other. Police had to increase security to prevent these people from approaching the hotel.

According to CNN , Payne was reportedly vacationing in Argentina with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy. A few days before his death, he attended a Niall Horan concert at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires.
