I wasn't a fan but I saw that One Direction singer Liam Payne just committed suicide today at a hotel in Palermo Hollywood. It was the Casa Sur Palermo. I have stayed here before. That isn't a high building. It sounds like he was high on drugs or something. I remember hearing he was an alcoholic. What a bummer. He was only 31 years old.

How sad. It says he has a 7 year old kid. I have no idea who it is but my girlfriend had a friend that was in that area today. Sad.
 
He was a big celebrity in the UK.

I got ten calls from friends based in the UK to ask about it.
Yes big star in the UK. USA too. Very sad to hear about this. Most likely drug/alcohol related. My girlfriend spoke to some local friends in BA that like the singer. On the local news they were saying he was drunk or high before this and was destroying his hotel room. And supposedly with 2 hookers before. There is a 911 call from the hotel owner calling the police to come and talk to him and then he jumped.

Strange as he had some posts on Snapchat he posted a few hours before and he seemed fine. Drugs will do that to you. Very sad.
 
A well-known global star is very popular here; in fact, there were hundreds of fans outside the Casa Sur hotel in Palermo waiting for a picture or autograph. I saw the news yesterday, and they mentioned that before staying at this hotel, he had been kicked out of another one due to disturbances. It's sad to see someone so young in such a situation, especially with all the chaos surrounding the famous rapper Diddy, who is linked to a massive trafficking network and is currently behind bars. It seems that Liam may also have been a victim, just like many other renowned artists. Fame can be difficult; I just hope he finds peace.

I didn't hear he got kicked out of another hotel before. Drugs sounds like the problem.

Yes I read that it said the hotel staff supplied him with the drugs and he was arguing with 2 hookers in the lobby. Let's see what the real story is.

I have stayed at that hotel before. It's not that high of a building. I doubt the escorts had anything to do with it. Probably was just too drugged up and thought he could fly or something. Hotel worker is definitely getting fired. Lots of those hotel workers are supplying drugs to guests. My friend was there and he wanted weed and the workers there found it for him.

This employee hopefully also gets arrested for supplying him these drugs. I'm not sure what the story was but there are many reports he was fine several hours before this.

Seems weird on the 911 call they say the room has a balcony and they are scared he will jump off. Suspicious.
 
An American that was in the lobby said he was arguing with 2 prostitutes on paying them before he died.

This story has everything. Sex. drugs, rock and roll and death. Very sad.
 
I never heard of him before or knew who he was but he seems to be very popular. So many stories about him in the newspapers. It seems very morbid to want to go where he died. Strange to me.



 
It's all so recent that there are multiple versions. Some say that the person claiming to be his manager in Argentina may have supplied him with the drugs, and it's also alleged that this man, known as Roger, was his partner. I suppose everything will come to light during the investigation. This man doesn't have a good reputation here, and it seems he's involved in shady business dealings.
