Medics confirmed his death on the spot, the police said in a statement. Pablo Policicchio, the communications director for the Buenos Aires Security Ministry, said in a statement to The Associated Press that Payne “had jumped from the balcony of his room”.

According to AP, a hotel manager can be heard on a 911 call saying the hotel had “a guest who is overwhelmed with drugs and alcohol ... He’s destroying the entire room and, well, we need you to send someone, please.” The manager’s voice became more anxious as the call went on, noting the room had a balcony. The alleged pictures from Liam's hotel room seemingly confirm the police statement about an "aggressive man under the influence of drugs" and the manager's call about a guest "destroying" the entire room.
