Just heard on the news abroad he fell from the third floor off a hotel in Buenos Aires, if true it's very sad as he was so young and seemed like a lovely guy

Awful. He's clearly needed help for years :(
Just horrible news

The Argentinian news article states it was clear from his injuries that he couldn't be resuscitated and he had an injury to the base of the skull.

So very young. His poor family.

He couldn't be resuscitated? So he was still partially alive when they found him? Sad

We shouldn't know this.

Well, the cause of death wouldn’t be kept a secret.

We shouldn’t know any of it yet, it’s happened within the last hour. If the police bothered to contact his parents first, they won’t have had time to call round the wider family. This has all been reported before they’d have had a chance to tell people… so it shouldn’t be out now, any of it. But the cause of death would be revealed anyway.

discoballdave · 16/10/2024 23:03

How utterly tragic. His poor son.

HerefordHeifer · 16/10/2024 23:03

It’s in the Guardian now, although they’re also just referring to the local reports.

I hope his family have been contacted

Chichimcgee · 16/10/2024 23:03

It's 7pm there so within less than 2 hours it's all over the Internet including pictures of his arm and torso, his poor family

Mrsdoyler · 16/10/2024 23:04

Poor liam
Poor son.

No, we shouldn't know beyond at most a report that he's died. We shouldn't know The circumstances, the nature of his injuries, the state of his hotel room... Any of it.

TMZ are disgusting. They should be shut down.

AutumnLeaves24 · 16/10/2024 23:05

His poor son & everyone else who loved him. Very sad for him, so young 🥲

If it's true I hope they've gotten to his family first. Imagine finding out your son/brother/dad etc died via 'unverified news'.

This is what I was thinking as it comes across as literally just happening.

VerbenaGirl · 16/10/2024 23:05

My daughter is at uni and just messaged me to say the whole club went silent with the news and is now playing 1D. Dreading my other daughter waking up, she adored them back in the day and it will hit her hard. Such sad news - a young life lost.

His poor family and friends, so many of them are going to be finding out this way - the press should be ashamed.

Uselessatbeingaperson · 16/10/2024 23:05

These articles and those photos are out there now. He has a child who will probably Google his dad when he's a teenager, or have kids at school show him the photos if they're cruel.

Whu · 16/10/2024 23:06

TMZ are disgusting for posting pictures of Liam’s dead body.
Not a shred of decency.
May he rest in peace.

SabreIsMyFave · 16/10/2024 23:06

It IS true. Sad Rumours are flying around that did actually jump - and didn't just fall. So it looks like suicide.

Absolute vultures.

TheFairyCaravan · 16/10/2024 23:07

It’s horrendous. His poor family.

This just goes to show what vultures the media are. He won’t have been dead for more than 2hrs, his family won’t have processed it yet, but it’s being beamed all around the world and people are speculating about it. I’m glad none of my family are famous.

loropianalover · 16/10/2024 22:59

TMZ have posted snippets of a picture of him lying on the deck as proof 🤢 how horrific. Reports are saying he smashed his laptop in the hotel lobby and was escorted up to his room and then fell from the balcony in a drunken/intoxicated accident.

I’ve seen that. I couldn’t believe they would publish that. Shocking

Miguelo · 16/10/2024 23:07

How the hell is it considered acceptable to post part pictures of someone’s lifeless body like that!? wtf is wrong them

It happened within a couple hours. His parents etc may be asleep with no clue their son is dead and rest of world knows. They've seen pictures of his body. His son doesn't know and is going to wake up expecting to go to school only to be told his dad is dead.

So tragic, May he rest in peace. Agreed about the abhorrent media response, that photo was total unnecessary!

I have many fond memories of going to the 1D concert with my daughters 😭

Edited

None of that matters so long as the reporters get their scoop and their name attached to one of the biggest bits of news in recent months. Scum.

TMZ are vile
