Family friends claim singer ‘could have been saved’

Liam Payne’s tragic final moments have come to light, revealing a series of mistakes by hotel staff at the CasaSur Palermo hotel.

In a recent development reported by The Mail on Sunday, it was reported that hotel staff should have called an ambulance when Payne collapsed in the lobby of the CasaSur Palermo hotel instead of trying to take him home room.

The 31-year-old former boy band member passed away after falling from a third-floor balcony on Wednesday. He was in the hotel lobby shortly before his death, where staff were concerned about his behavior and suspected he was drunk or on drugs.

In a transcript of a 911 call made by hotel staff, a manager described Payne as “insane on drugs” and asked for immediate help. The second call concerned his safety, citing the balcony in his room.

The manager, who only identified himself as Joe, said: “We really need you to send someone urgently because the reality is… we’re worried he might do something.”

Payne “didn’t want to die” and assured family and friends he would never take his own life, a family friend revealed to The Mail. The source said: “If an ambulance had been called when he collapsed in the hotel lobby instead of taking him to his room… he would be alive today.”

Investigators are looking into reports that Payne may have been under the influence of a fast-acting drug that causes violent moods and behavior.

Photos taken in his hotel room showed white powder residue and smashed objects.

Payne was said to be in high spirits the morning he died after visiting a family friend who brought him cookies. However, prosecutors did not allege he was dangerously intoxicated, but instead that he was “intoxicated.”

According to Mirror, witnesses said he had previously walked between the lobby and outside several times before falling down and struggling around with signs of convulsions.

Initial reports said Payne showed signs of distress before hotel staff called for medical assistance and said they did not understand why this happened.

“If Liam had a seizure, why didn’t the hotel call an ambulance right away? That’s something no one can understand. He’s never had a seizure before. If he was that sick, why was someone there to take him?” he went to his room and left him there alone, with a door open to the balcony?” said an anonymous source.
