The horror moment Liam Payne plunged from his third-floor Buenos Aires hotel balcony was captured on CCTV, an Argentinian broadcast journalist has claimed. Paula Varela said the footage showed the former One Direction singer had fallen after he “fainted” on the balcony but alleges authorities were keeping it secret. Liam died earlier this month after the singing star tragically fell to his death to the shock of the world.
The 45-year-old also claimed on a popular Argentinian TV show that a night worker at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel who had struck up a close relationship with Liam was the focus of an ongoing investigation which was trying to establish who supplied him with the drugs suspected of contributing to his death on October 16. Paula said on Socios del Espectaculo, a show broadcast on Buenos Aires-based TV station Canal 13: “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.
