Just moments prior to Liam Payne’s tragic fall from a balcony, a hotel supervisor allegedly contacted 911 to inform them that the former One Direction member was heavily intoxicated and vandalizing his accommodation.
As per a 911 transcript accessed by multiple news agencies, Payne was reportedly in a state of utter chaos inside his third-floor suite at the CasaSur Hotel in Palermo, Buenos Aires.
According to both CNN and La Nacion, the manager dialed a 911 operator at approximately 5 p.m. on Wednesday seeking assistance. Below is a summary of their alleged dialogue…
The operator began by inquiring about the nature of the emergency occurring at the hotel.
The manager revealed that there was a guest “who is inundated with narcotics and liquor,” and stated that the individual was causing destruction in his room, thus requiring urgent assistance.
The operator sought clarification on the situation regarding substances but the manager affirmed the claims and promptly reiterated the request for assistance.
The manager voiced concerns about the guest’s safety, mentioning that the individual had been lodged in the room for two to three days without hotel staff being able to access.
After further discussion, the operator assured the manager that police were en route to the hotel.
Tragically, by the time officers arrived at the scene, Liam had already plunged from the balcony of his third-floor accommodation, lying lifeless on the ground below.
Authorities have initiated an investigation to ascertain whether Liam’s passing was a result of intent, an accident, or suicide.
