Liam Payne From One Direction Fame Falls To His Death Aged Just 31 : (

[Smowball]

Flashed up on the news this eve - couldn't believe it. The singer was in Buenos Aires visiting his fellow ex band member Niall Horan performing, when reports came in that Liam had allegedly fallen to his death from his 3rd floor room. At the moment it seems it was a terrible accident. God he was only 31, with a young son - how utterly tragic : (

Hi Maydup.They're still saying accident as he was photographed throughout day having lunch, posting photos of him out having fun with gf etc....I don't know,  unless he was drunk it's not easy to just fall from your room window/balcony. Very sad tho.

Police were called to the hotel after an emergency call citing "an aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol"

Wiki.

"an aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol"

Seems to be what most news outlets are saying.

But, if he was in Russia when this happened 🤔

Morning Douglas/Oz.

Yes ive  just now read that Liam was acting erratically in hotel lobby, smashed up his laptop & had to be escorted to his room by hotel staff just before his death. 
Even tho he'd also been online posting lovely photos of his lunch, the hotel and how much he was enjoying his break.... god knows what's happened : (

If there was a god and he knew there would be no need for this kind of thing.

Why do people who become rich and famous then feel the need to start taking drugs? I don't get it.

[douglas9401]

I've asked around dave, it's not just the rich and famous.

[dave50]

I can understand those who have nothing to live for like down and outs or those with money or other worries but these celebrities have it all.

Is Liam the one who has a baby with Cheryl Cole - or am I getting him mixed up with someone else?   Terrible to die so young.

I would hate to be a celebrity, loss of privacy, fear of losing status.  Worried if your friends are friends or hangers on.  Worried about kidnap threats re children if you are very wealthy.

Not for me, ta

I think that's him Naomi.

Drugs?

[naomi24]

Thanks mozz.

 

barry, I think a lot of celebrities manage very well to retain their privacy.  Others perhaps don't try.

"I can understand those who have nothing to live for like down and outs or those with money or other worries but these celebrities have it all."

The celebs don't really have it all. They do have the money to afford drugs without having to rob others, but money doesn't necessarily mean happiness. Hangers-on, mistrust of 'friends', online abuse, fear of failure, lack of inner meaning and confidence. I don't know that all that applies to Liam.

RIP.

Sorry, Barry. I didn't see your post until I had posted my own.
