Drug criminals should be busted imo. I don't mean a kiddo selling some pot, I mean the ones that are selling and dealing drugs that are killing people. It's so tragic.

Liam Payne Was Trying to Escape from Balcony When He Fell to His Death
Liam Payne was trying to escape from his hotel when he fell to his death, and the hotel knew he was threatening to use the balcony as the means to escape, but left him by himself.

TMZ’s go-to reaction is always going to be pro-celebrity but I kind of disagree with their “source” in this case. What was the hotel staff supposed to do with him? He was in the lobby, loaded up on drugs and acting out, being disruptive and scaring the other hotel guests and staff. They called authorities and they carried him up and put him in his room, trying to keep him safely contained until help arrived. Hotel staff can’t be expected to be experts in how to handle addicts who are experiencing a freak out.
If they had let him run out of the door and he was hit by a car I’m sure the hotel would have been blamed for not stopping him.

The police should've taken him into custody imo, needed medical help if he was that disturbed/paranoid.
"Liam, who was disruptive in the lobby and clearly under the influence, is splayed out as 3 hotel workers carry him to his room"
"When the hotel employees got Liam to his room, he struggled with them ... clearly not wanting to go inside"
"It's obvious Liam told the employees he did not want to be in the room and would use the balcony as an escape, because one of those employees called 911 minutes later and said they feared he might use the balcony and accidentally hurt himself. According to the 911 transcript, the hotel employee said, "I don't know whether his life may be in danger. He is in a room with a balcony, and, well, we're a little afraid ..."
Police should've been called INSTEAD of literally dragging him and forcing him into his room. He was very clearly unwell.

Maybe all of the rooms had balconies? His room was on a lower level, the 3rd floor.
What can you do with a grown man who has autonomy over his life who keeps using drugs? He was free to travel abroad so he wasn’t in any type of conservatorship situation.
Right, but it said going back to his 1D days this was an issue. Should have chosen different accommodations. If his gf knew, etc… maybe an air bnb or something would have been a better option. Needless to say they are also saying hotel employees could have bern helping him get drugs.
His girlfriend went home two days before and he apparently went on a drug/alcohol binge as soon as she left. So far three people have been arrested, a drug dealer, a hotel employee, and his friend who was supposed to be his “designated caretaker.” From this article, he would be a very difficult person to have to babysit.
Liam Payne pal, accused of ‘abandonment,’ texting with singer about drugs, prostitutes before fatal fall
Liam Payne texted his friend and designated caretaker about using drugs and having sex with prostitutes just hours before he fell to his death — with prosecutors wanting to try the pal for “abandonment” for failing to save him from his spiraling drug abuse.Argentine businessman Roger Nores, 35, who was one of the three men charged in connection to the One Direction star’s deathafter he plummeted from a hotel balcony in a drug-induced daze last month, checked in on Payne a total of three times the day he died, Argentinian prosecutors claimed in court documents obtained by TMZ.
Around 7 a.m. on Oct. 16, an already intoxicated Payne texted Nores and said, “Dude I think I’m going to f—k a hooker,” prosecutors said. About two and a half hours later, Payne texted him and asked for “6 grams” — presumably meaning cocaine.
Payne and Nores had breakfast together at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, where Payne was drinking whiskey. Afterwards, Payne went back to his trashed hotel room and frantically searched for a “powder,” according to a maid who was in the room.
A pair of prostitutes showed up to Payne’s room around 11:30 p.m. and had sex with him, they told police. He also asked them for cocaine because he was all out.
He would later ask a hotel employee for “another 7 grams for today” around 2 p.m.
Nores left Payne’s room shortly after 4 p.m., and around the same time hotel staff reported hearing Payne smash things. Someone from the hotel tried calling Nores, but he did not answer.
When the prostitutes asked for payment, Payne freaked out and punched the television. Nores came back to the hotel around 3:45 p.m. to pay the women, by which time staffers noticed the singer appeared “visibly drunk.”
Nores texted Payne, “Are you ok?” at 4:25 p.m. but the star did not respond.
Nores has maintained that Payne appeared fine when he left him at the hotel about an hour before he fell to his death from the balcony, sources close to Nores told TMZ.
Moments before Payne’s fatal plunge, a hotel worker called 911 and said they feared for his safety after they had to drag him through the hotel lobby and lock him in his room. The employee indicated that he could hurt himself using the balcony to escape.
Nores was charged with abandonment for allegedly failing to inform the musician’s family that he had relapsed on drugs. He testified as a witness, which led a judge to decide that he had allegedly breached his duty of care with respect to Payne.
Authorities interviewed Payne’s father, who said that Nores volunteered to takeover as Payne’s caretaker in May and arrange for him to go to rehab, the documents state.
Payne’s dad said it was important that Payne always stayed busy and was never alone in his recovery.
Earlier this month, Nores, said he “never abandoned Liam.”
“I went to his hotel three times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened,” he said.
“There were over 15 people at the hotel lobby chatting and joking with him when I left.”
The prosecutors who wrote the court document are national prosecutors — however a judge ruled any case involving alleged “abandonment” must be handled by local prosecutors, meaning they have no legal means to pursue the charges, TMZ reported.
To date, no charges have been filed by local prosecutors. The national prosecutors appealed the judge’s ruling, but the appeal was rejected.

Some wicked ****.
The judge said the singer was seen unconscious and being dragged “by three people” and “the way he was being handled shows a state of vulnerability”.
She said Martín and Grassi could be seen outside Payne’s hotel room minutes before he was found dead on the restaurant’s patio.
“Payne’s consciousness was altered and there was a balcony in the room. The proper thing to do was to leave him in a safe place and with company until a doctor arrived,” Bruniard said. “I believe that the [manager and head of reception] did not act maliciously in relation to the singer’s death, but they were imprudent in allowing him to be taken to the room.”
Bruniard also said she believed Payne did not faint and that in his state of intoxication he tried to leave via the balcony and fell, “because the forensic experts noted that he did not lose his balance”.
Forensic experts concluded Payne fell on to the hotel restaurant’s patio “without any sign of defence”, causing multiple injuries to his body, particularly his head, after directly hitting the concrete support of an umbrella.
