Liam Payne sadly passed away after falling from the balcony of his hotel in Argentina in October, and now an eyewitness is speaking out about the tragic incident.
Bret Watson was preparing for his wedding at the venue when the moment happened.
“I was meeting our wedding planner,” he told TMZ. “We had gone up to the room. We happened to be looking out of the window of our hotel at the pool area just to show her the view and we saw Liam fall.”

“We immediately rushed out on the balcony,” he continued.
“When we looked down, you could see that it was Liam lying on the ground. He landed face up so we could tell right away that it was Liam and he was motionless.”
He said he was in a room on the hotel’s first floor during the incident.
“Seeing anyone fall like that is heartbreaking, but being able to see it happen and then hear the impact on the ground was more haunting than seeing him fall,” he went on. “Then, seeing the immediate aftermath, it’s something that’s burned into my brain and something I’m never going to forget.”
The eyewitness also said that he and his wedding guests noticed Liam getting erratic and agitated in the lobby prior to the incident, including slamming his laptop on the ground and shouting profanity before being carried out of the lobby by hotel employees.
Liam‘s friend Roger Nores, who says he is not among those under investigation in connection to the death, denied those details in the same TMZ special.
“He was in good spirits,” he said. “He was perfectly balanced. He was talking to everybody. He was having fun, laughing. So, nothing out of the ordinary.”
