Liam Payne faced difficulty during his time in Buenos Aires, Argentina, prior to his death.
Before the former One Direction member fell multiple stories at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel and died at age 31 on Oct. 16, three sources tell PEOPLE he was “kicked out” of another hotel, the Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires.
One insider says Payne was asked to leave “because he was being a nuisance and disturbing the other guests and appeared intoxicated.”
The Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires had no comment.

hio, the communications director for the Buenos Aires Security Ministry, previously told PEOPLE the musician “jumped from the balcony” of his hotel room.
A preliminary autopsy report revealed Payne died from multiple injuries and “internal and external” hemorrhages after the fall, the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office confirmed to PEOPLE.
The coroners told PEOPLE that 25 injuries in the autopsy were “compatible with those caused by a fall from a height” and noted that “the head injuries were sufficient to cause death,” while the “internal and external hemorrhages” of the skull, thorax, abdomen and limbs contributed to Payne’s death.
