The sudden death of 31-year-old Liam Payne has been widely reported in the media. Even before the tragic incident, hotel staff had alerted authorities about his unpredictable behaviour. According to photos published by the Argentinian daily "Clarin," his room contained a glass with a "mysterious" substance, white powder, and aluminum foil.

When rescuers arrived, they were unable to save Payne's life. A phone conversation between the hotel staff and the authorities clearly stated that they were concerned about the musician's safety. The Daily Mail now reports that one of the reasons was the too low railings, which were only 122 cm, and are "easy to fall over".

Recall that in the conversation with authorities, the staff brought up the topic of the balcony in the room and that it might pose a threat to the star's safety. Unfortunately, they were right.

We need you to send someone urgently because, well, I don't know if the guest's life is in danger. They must be in a room that has a balcony. And well, we're a little bit worried he'll do something, that he'll put his life at risk, they conveyed.

It was also revealed that three items were found near the musician's body: a lighter, a bottle of whiskey, and a mobile phone. One guest staying at the same hotel mentioned in an interview with the BBC about noise and screams coming from Payne's room. They also saw staff members entering and exiting the room.
