Let us be very clear:
We don’t know what happened to Liam Payne this week.
Yes, we’re saddened that the 31-year-old singer died after falling three floors from the balcony of his Buenos Aires hotel room.
However, beyond that?
We can’t say for sure whether Payne is Intentionally Jumped from the balcony, it is important to keep this in mind when considering this tragedy.
This is important to remember because of what Sharon Osbourne said after Payne passed away.
“Liam, my heart is hurting. We all let you down,” the former X-Factor judge wrote on social media, before insisting she held the music industry responsible for Payne’s death.
“Where was this industry when you needed it? You were just a kid when you entered one of the toughest industries in the world. Who was in your corner?”
Payne had been in Argentina since early October.
She and her One Direction co-stars were together from 2010 to 2016, topping the charts with hits like “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Night Changes” and “Story of My Life,” with over 70 million views. Sell records.
In 2017, Payne debuted as a solo singer with “Strip That Down” after One Direction – which this week paid tribute to Liam – announced an indefinite hiatus. His debut album “LP1” was released in 2019.
However, over the past few days, it has become clear that something was wrong with Liam Payne.
An autopsy report from Argentina’s National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office revealed that the artist died from “multiple trauma” and “internal and external hemorrhage” following his fatal fall.
The file notes that hotel staff had called 911 just minutes earlier requesting assistance for an unnamed guest who they claimed was “under the influence of drugs and alcohol and had seen something in the room.” Items were destroyed.”
Local police reportedly found destroyed objects and furniture inside Payne’s hotel room… as well as substances that “at first glance – and pending confirmation from experts – would be narcotics and alcoholic beverages “
Due to Payne’s injuries in the incident, it is believed that he “did not adopt a reflex position to protect himself and he could have fallen into a state of semi- or complete unconsciousness.”
There is a lot of sadness all around.
On Friday, Simon Cowell also issued a statement regarding Liam Payne’s death.
