The staff also stated to the emergency services, ‘He is in a room that has a balcony, and we are scared he might be endangering his life.’
At the time the ambulance arrived, the former boy band member had fallen off the balcony, and the medics declared him dead. The singer had suffered a skull fracture and other severe injuries.
Liam Payne was laid to rest in London on November 20. The funeral was attended by the One Direction team members, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Harry Styles. The late singer is survived by his parents, siblings, and son, Bear.
