Liam Payne: He was fired by his record company – He made no attempt to protect himself during the fall

At the beginning of October, Payne's spokesman had resigned, leaving the singer without media representation.

Newsroom October 18 08:30

New Insights into Liam Payne’s Tragic Death

New information may shed light on the circumstances surrounding Liam Payne’s tragic death after he fell from a hotel balcony in Argentina. According to the Daily Mail, just days before his death, Payne had been let go by his record label.

The 31-year-old singer signed with Capitol Records in July 2016 as he launched his solo career. At the time, he was excited about the deal, but several sources have since confirmed to the Daily Mail that the record label had parted ways with him.

Additionally, in early October, Payne’s spokesman resigned, leaving the singer without media representation. This resignation coincided with legal proceedings launched by his former fiancée, Maya Henry, who accused him of attempting to reach out to her.

A source shared, “It was like the whole music career he had built over the last eight years was falling apart. This development must have come as a shock to him.”

Details Surrounding His Fall

A post-mortem examination revealed that Payne may have been unconscious when he fell from the third-floor balcony. An Argentine agency’s report indicated that the position of his body and the injuries sustained suggested he made no attempts to protect himself during the fall, indicating he might have been in a state of partial or total unconsciousness.

The report also noted that all indications pointed to Payne being alone at the time of the incident and suggested he may have experienced a substance-induced outburst.

Eyewitness Accounts

Another hotel guest reported hearing a “loud, violent scream” from Payne’s room shortly before the fall. According to People.com, this guest described hearing significant noise coming from the singer’s room just minutes before the tragedy.

“At first, I thought they were doing some kind of work in the room,” the guest said, noting that the sounds resembled something heavy being moved or knocked over. They also observed hotel staff coming in and out of Payne’s room, along with new noises until around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday (Argentina time).
