Liam Payne’s Cause Of Death Has Been Revealed In A Preliminary Autopsy

According to audio obtained by media outlets, the hotel’s head receptionist called authorities shortly before Payne’s fall to say staff needed assistance with “a guest who has had too much drugs and alcohol.”

“He is in a room with a balcony and we’re a little afraid that he might do something that would put his life at risk,” the receptionist told the emergency call operator.

Payne rose to fame as a member of One Direction, the massively successful boy band launched on the British competition series The X Factor in 2010. The group ultimately became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
