#LiamPayne #1d #harrystyles
Old news now 😊😊😊
For you, but not for his family, his young son, his friends who tried to save him, his fans who loved him. And it’s not old news for the people who enabled his demise. They will remember this for years in prison.
Why? This guy chooses to OD and went crazy and threw himself off the balcony. Ppl at the hotel is only do their jobs… wth
Argentinian?
@guexxx. It’s a shame you are on a news nation yet unable to acknowledge what the truth is. Perhaps if you don’t know the truth you should follow more news stations. It has been proven that he did not OD or throw himself over a balcony. Perhaps have some respect for the family and stop spreading misinformation!!!!
It’s bs, it because he’s a fkn celebrity. If it was anyone else, no one would have cared
When u OD you’re incoherent so he would be unable to throw himself off the balcony after overdosing😊
Such a bad industry they all die in the same way and others get blamed. Who would want to be their employee or work around them?
I know right? This is not normal. I wish it doesn’t had to be like this.
Ppl who need money.
The story hasn’t added up since day 1. There has been a lot of inconsistency to the story. It’s sad people are believing everything they hear.
@@Lma894 It’s not always about believing. It always is about comprehending and retaining, and then deciding.
Payne killers
Shut up 😂
Naaaaa I don’t buy it. Too many celebrities(the good ones) dying suddenly. Don’t believe anything the media says he probably knew too much
He did it to himself
But he had enablers.
@@cindymaceda2999he also was an able bodied adult with ability to think for himself. saying “no” was always an option for him.
@@cindymaceda2999So what!!! He chose his own path….
And it could have been prevented
@@elainevankat5353I heard he was carried to his room so technically he didn’t choose his own path
Amen
😢
Liam wanted to be high. Sober was an option that misses so many.
If he wanted to be high than why fall?
@@probrickgameri hope I read this comment correctly 😂😂
Argentina is the wrong place to be if your an addict or drug issues. In other words there is nothing to do in argentina other then puffing , sniffing and drinking until you pass out in the park like most of the Argentinians. This is thier way of life. If this singer had issues or any one else and you are in argentina you won’t last. My 2 cents
what hotel staff ? is crazy
Hotel staff are responsible when a guest is clearly unwell and in danger. I worked in a hotel & many attempted suicidal overdoses were averted by calling an ambulance.
Crazy what money and connections can do to innocent people. Other then the (friend)
Only because he was famous that these people are being charged. It makes no sense. He was an adult and you can’t make someone do something they don’t want. How is it the staff’s responsibility?
He hated to be locked in the hotel room but his so called friend Rogio did it why not stay in his home?
His doctor sent an E-Mail to his father the day he died that Rogio distanced her from healing Liam
Liam didn’t talk Spanish how he contacted all the dealers or other persons? It came out Rogio did.
Liam even couldn’t walk as they carried him how he walked to the balcony?
They didn’t want to go to the court but using TMZ’s documentary and some papers why they were so scared and why no Kate in that film?
After Kate’s interview all were charged. And missing Rolex.
And the way he died was the same pic of his ex’s book. Someone was throwing a man from the building. Just saying
out of context, but you definitely can make someone do something they don’t want.
When the Jackson Estate decided that world-wide sales would fall by around $250 million the first year if Catholics thought he committed suicide, they made a deal with one of his doctors, going to jail for two years when he wasn’t even there.
2 of them are drug pushers. Being an adult is yes being responsible. But I think in any business there should be a Safety Training. And in that kind of accident, which you could think that there is something happened, what will be your 1st reaction?
@@jonathjoeee Only if you overvpowder them or use force and that also is against the law… so no, I don’t think you can make someone do what they don’t want
This is ridiculous. He was high and jumped. 🙄
Our angel payno💔😭
Ridiculous. These people are rich famous popular people on a death wish. Same as Matt Perry. They are grown s adults and they don’t stop for nobody. Leave those that they terrorized alone.
At last! Something really fishy about this death!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Non-celebs aren’t going to get this level of investigation and the blame for death falls squarely on the addict.
Not true. Obviously you only keep up with celebrity news
He’s murdered.
There is always one got nothing nice to say then don’t say anything that poor family

A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord DIRECTETH his steps. Proverbs 16/9
Liam passed on 16/10
LIAM IN THE BIBLE
Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of IsraeL; I AM the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. Isaiah 48:17
48 – 17 = 31 Liam passed aged 31.
Liam Name Meaning:
Liam is a boy’s given name of Irish origin. It is a diminutive of the British name William, meaning “HELMET OF WILL” or “PROTECTION.” Liam also points to a “strong-willed warrior,” so baby can hope to embody courage and determination as they flourish!
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:17
As a retired hotelier, when Payne was seen falling about in the lobby, an ambulance should have been called, instead of taking him up to his room, knowing it had a balcony, then leaving him unattended. The hotel is liable for negligent homicide in this case. The drug suppliers should get long sentences so they don’t do this to another vulnerable person.
not the first time for drug suppliers…since when do they care what happens after they deliver and collect their $$$
Liam moet self tronk toe gaan, niemand het dwelms in sy keel afgedruk nie….het sy Pa nie geweet nie?❤😢
Hello maatjie, afrikaans nogals, ma jy is reg🇿🇦
He couldn’t speak Spanish the dealer couldn’t speak English. How they talked ? Kate knew something after her interview they all charged include Rogio.
😢😢😢
So he just starts asking his waiters for a hook up everywhere he went? How does that even come up in a conversation with your waiter?
Other addicts can smell other addicts. The restaurant industry is flooded with them, sadly. Nobody should be blamed for this but the addiction that took his life. Sad, but nobody should be charged for this 😢
He chose to unalive himself. Why are we blaming others.
He didn’t commit suicide. He was trying to escape the hotel room via the balcony, as he’d been known to do before.
He shouldn’t have been forced into his room

@@ElleHomekookin to the police maybe?
Blaming everyone else for someone’s own reckless behavior isn’t fair, dude wanted drug$, they have him what he wanted. The only person responsible for his ☠️ is himself.
Exactly! shouldn’t blame others for your own mistakes!
They indirectly killed him by not calling 911 when he was in the lobby but was carried and locked in his room. What hotel would do that for you, average Joe?
Well if he stayed in another country he should be alived.
The guilty used media to get away while he couldn’t.
In my country we have an iconic words
Rich people never been in jail.
So they use every way to get away.
……nella stanza con portafinestra@@Rico401Prov
Drug dealers should be accountable for their BS
So sad💔
This is ridiculous and just another example of how the justice system is a joke.
They should of call 911 if this happen in America the staff would of call for help not put him back in his room
Justice for Liam!
What about all the others that Died due to drug overdoses Just becouse he was a celebrity It was his choice to get high
They also did no help I’m not making excuses for he did but they knew something was wrong with him
One direction ( such irony )
Yes he was an addict and he’s responsible for his own actions. However, when he was in the lobby incoherent, stumbling, and finally passing out having seizure symptoms, the staff should’ve immediately called an ambulance! Instead the staff carried him back to his room?!! That’s called negligence.
Exactly
Imagine if he was just a regular person, he wouldn’t even get carried back to the room. Celebrities need the world to cater to their every step
are we supposed to call an ambulance every time some drunk/drug addict passes out?
do you care enough to call for help when you see someone passed out in an alley?
maybe his “friends” should have been looking out for him……
Why didn’t you carry him to the ambulance you let him die???
@ since I believe in humanity and compassion…if I was there I would have called authorities and made sure he got the help he needed. Your ignorance is astonishing.
It’s only bc he is famous that other people are being accused and even charged for his actions. Have you EVER heard of a regular person whose drug use was blamed on everyone else?? I haven’t and I grew up in the tranq/fenty part of Philly.
How about blame the one that made bad choices..???…he was responsible for himself..
Exactly!!!💯
They also should of call 911
No way should the hotel staff be responsible. Celebs can demand so much they usually have to do what’s asked
Le celebrita’ sono PERSONE IN CARNE ED OSSA …Quando una PERSONA STA MALE DEV’ ESSERE AIUTATA, PROTETTA. In qualsiasi parte del mondo. Ok?
Called it
absolutely ridiculous.
this is the equivalent of charging a bartender for a drunk driver killing someone.
was this dude (may be “famous” but i never heard of him) not responsible for his own actions?
does anyone think he wanted to go to a “safe place” or to a doctor, where his voluntary drug use would be revealed?
wonder why every drug death isn’t investigated like this……..
in some states, they can charge the bar/bartender for over serving a customer
The main media didn’t report all happened in Argentina and you all only knew only one sided. Don’t judge Liam b4 the courts. There are many lies out there and he couldn’t defend himself. No one reported the detail the court came out and it’s weird.
@@lynnhubbard844
And why they are charged if they are not wrong? If you believed that they reported all you are a new born child.
@@lynnhubbard844
Why they are charged if they are not guilty?
May be you are innocent as a baby born.
They are charged bc they are wrong. Are you a new born child?
Everyone, please listen to the news report again to hear why the people involved have been arrested. The public comments given here don’t respond to the legal, ethical, or moral reasons as to why the five arrests were made. Liam Payne’s death is not simple or black & white – no death is. Proceed with caution, thanks.
No offense, but it was Liam’s fault. He’s not a baby.
he kinda was a baby…he NEVER had to be responsible for himself–other people got paid for that, in his world
You wouldn’t be saying that if it was your son or your brother
@@xaeaxii7777 Maybe I would, along with all the sadness in my heart
It was his fault. Dont blame others for his downfall. Liam was grown and did his own deal.
They trying to paint a Picasso if they slander b4 they say what happen like saying he had coke n liquor in his system he was most likely pushed
JUNKIE! Caused his own death *shrug*.
When do we just blame the addicts who stop at nothing to get their fix? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
When it’s you or somebody you love
@@xaeaxii7777 Sorry but you’re part of the problem of no accountability!
You guys know what this means, right? New stimulus checks!!
Glad to hear it but unfortunately it won’t bring him back but those who contributed to his death should be held accountable.
My thoughts exactly!
Do not be friends or generally be around anyone rich or famous, they will blame you for their actions
😂😂😂
If he demands these things and his staff doesn’t give in do they not just lose their jobs? Kind of unfair to be punished for sth that they were likely coerced to do
Ridiculous. Why is anyone else responsible for this guy? Oh, cause people know him. I had to Google him, but.
If it was me, no way. I’m a nobody. I’m over 18. That’s that.
Ridiculous
I think this is a contributing factors case i do believe some fault should be given only due to them locking him into the room however we as a society can’t blame everybody for 1 persons decisions ultimately he chose to do what he did we can’t just keep shifting the blame & not accept reality
When you have money everyone’s responsible except the junkie.
That’s the cool thing about money rip❤Liam
Imagine catching a charge because your friend/a hotel guest is a raging drug addict. Were there people in the lobby did they charge them too?
Yeah imagine one of the hotel workers was his drug dealer so he should catch a charge
Be careful who you surround yourself with not everyone is your friend! Most are just around for what they can get out of you and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave you when u need someone the most!
So, the hotel staff killed him by ignoring his medical needs.
The hotel staff called the police! They said they were afraid he would hurt himself. What else were they supposed to do? The charges are ridiculous!
I did see they put him back in his room
Just because he fell that way doesn’t mean he wasn’t pushed. Being incoherent will make you not respond, pushed, or not pushed.
This makes no sense. You might as well charge every single person that came into contact with him during that period. Maybe also charge the hotel for allowing a drug user to die on their premises
It’s all Liam’s fault but everyone else gets the blamed but the junkie 😢 so sad
If he wasn’t a celebrity then nobody would be charged.
U don’t know that
Idc about him as a celebrity or singer but as a human it’s truly sad on all counts.
Jungle laws.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS! He was a grown man who was making horrible CHOICES.. Now he is going to ruin families because of HIS CHOICES.
They work there they should of call for help
Hotel is guilty
We do believe any of you
Soo the next time I act out and make a scene, if I die regardless of me being on Cocaine and alcohol, it’s your fault not mine …
Ya exactly the family wants to blame anyone they can but their son. Their son was just as at fault as anyone else and should be the only one at fault
No one say he not at fault
If they had to charge all the people that failed me, then prisons would be full. Same goes for Liam, why charge the waiter, charge all drug dealers as well as Liam’s parents for failing to protect their son from a young age from things we all know as wrong. Sorry but no one should be responsible for this rich 30 something old man death. He took those drug way before. You don’t become a junkie overnight!
