Judge: Liam Payne’s death was ‘foreseeable’ in his final moments

Liam Payne: New Details Surrounding the Singer’s Fatal Fall

In the latest developments regarding Liam Payne’s tragic passing, a judge in Argentina has provided insights into the final hours of the One Direction star who died in October after a fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. The shocking incident has led to five individuals facing charges related to his death.

The Argentine Public Prosecutor’s Office has released a statement detailing Liam’s last movements, indicating that he was in a “state of vulnerability” before the fall. According to the statement, it was deemed irresponsible to leave him alone given his “intoxication due to polydrug use.” Judge Bruniard, overseeing the investigation, commented on the singer’s apparent history of addiction based on testimonies and evidence collected since his untimely demise.

Reports reveal that Liam had been requesting cocaine and alcohol from hotel personnel and exhibited signs of agitation, even struggling to maintain his balance in the reception area. Hotel staff ultimately escorted him to his room, but claims emerged that he was “dragged” there, with the manager seemingly neglecting his duty to ensure the singer’s safety during such an altered state of consciousness.

Authorities maintain that considering Liam’s condition and the immediate access to a balcony, it would have been prudent to keep him in a secure environment with supervision until medical help could arrive. Minutes after being left alone, he attempted to exit through the balcony, leading to the fatal incident.

Forensic experts believe that Liam lost consciousness while attempting to climb over the railing, resulting in a fatal fall. Judge Bruniard emphasized, “Payne’s consciousness was altered, and there was a balcony present. The responsible action would have been to ensure he was in a safe location with company until help could arrive.”

The autopsy confirmed that Liam’s death resulted from multiple traumas, including severe internal and external bleeding, with both cocaine and alcohol present in significant quantities in his system.

The judge characterized the singer’s death as “foreseeable,” ruling out self-harm as a contributing factor. Prosecutors suggest that it is likely Liam fell while “in a state of semi or total unconsciousness,” further complicating the tragic circumstances surrounding his death.

As the legal repercussions unfold, the passing of Liam Payne continues to echo throughout the entertainment world, sparking discussions about addiction and the responsibilities of those around individuals in distress.
