Liam Payne's tragic final moment caught on CCTV shows he 'fainted'

Liam Payne's tragic final moment was captured on CCTV and appears to show that the One Direction singer 'fainted', according to Argentinian journalist Paula Varela. Varela claims that this is what caused him to fall from the third-floor balcony at his hotel in Buenos Aires.

Before Liam's shock death, the manager from Casa Sur Hotel called emergency services claiming they had a "guest who is overwhelmed with drugs and alcohol" before saying, "He's destroying the entire room and, well, we need you to send someone, please."

Alberto Crescenti, head of the Buenos Aires’ public emergency medical services later revealed Liam fell around "14 metres". Liam's cause of death was a result of multiple injuries sustained in the fall, which led to "internal and external haemorrhaging", and a fractured skull.

"There is footage that is not being released to the media with the balcony scene where you see that Liam faints and tragically because of where he is, falls from that balcony. If he had been beside his bed he would have fallen on his bed," he said.

"It’s not that he jumped deliberately. This footage is in the official case files."

Alberto Crescenti revealed Liam was already dead when paramedics arrived on the scene, "According to the emergency medical team sent to the scene he had a fracture in the base of his skull, extremely serious injuries."

Police have not yet released further conclusive evidence regarding the circumstances of Liam's fall, and tests are now taking place to see if the singer had consumed drugs and alcohol. Police have said they found Liam's room in "complete disarray", with prosecutors saying on Thursday that they were treating the case as a "suspicious death" due to evidence collected on the scene that indicated Liam was going through "some kind of substance abuse outbreak" at the time of his death.

The Argentine public prosecutor's office said: "Everything indicates that the musician was alone" when the fall occurred.
