A man who saw Liam Payne fall from his hotel balcony in Argentina has broken the silence about the singer’s tragic death in a documentary.
The former One Direction member was 31 years old when he suffered the accident at a hotel in Buenos Aires in mid-October. Preliminary investigations and autopsy reports reveal that Payne had several drugs and alcohol in his system at the time of his death.
Although the investigation is still ongoing, the website TMZ released a documentary called Liam Payne: Who’s To Blame?, which analyzes the tragedy. However, online users criticized the release for rushing to make a documentary about his death, considering the authorities are still investigating the case.
In it, a man named Bret Watson recounts witnessing the accident. “It turns out we were looking out the window of our hotel to the pool area to show [our wedding planner] the hotel’s view,” he said.
“We saw Liam fall… so we immediately ran to the balcony to see what it was, and when we looked down, we could see it was Liam lying on the ground. The wedding planner and I looked at each other and said, ‘Oh my God, this is real, this really happened.'”
The documentary also included police documents and conversations with three of the suspects the police have spoken with, but fans quickly criticized the documentary. “Some of these topics are so invasive, let him rest,” said one internet user.
“I can imagine how crazy, disappointed, angry, and furious Liam Payne’s family and his former bandmates must feel,” said another. “This is so disgusting. The case isn’t even closed,” analyzed a third.
