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

Just seen this on Sky news. How incredibly sad for his poor little boy. I don't really know much about LP , but it seems there is some bitterness between him and his ex Maya Henry? . Very sad regardless.

I'm not trying to be weird but he is wearing a different tshirt i the snapchat and the TMZ photos I think. Only half an hour apart?
Very very sad.

His ex-fiancé was taking legal action against him as he was harassing her.

The legal action was just sending him a cease and desist letter.

I mean she wasn't charging him with harassment

TeaMistress · 16/10/2024 23:15

I'm sorry to hear this and shocked. He was no age and its awful to think of the dreadful circumstances. He was clearly troubled but its very sad to think of the poor soul dying like this. His poor child. I really hope that his family and loved ones were told before this was plastered across the press.

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

No, it means the opposite, that his injuries were so catastrophic that it's clear he couldn't be brought back from them.

It's unlikely as reports are saying he was posting on Snapchat as recently as half an hour before the news broke.

Twistybranch · 16/10/2024 23:17

Witnesses say this happened shortly after 5 PM in Buenos Aires ... and that Liam had been acting erratic in the hotel lobby earlier -- he smashed his laptop, and had to be carried back to his room

Only just got the BBC News notification because they always make sure to verify the information.

I feel so sorry for Cheryl. I get the impression he was the love of her life.

What's unlikely?

I feel sorry for his son, but this has happened just after his ex revealed his abuse. I mainly feel for her and the fact she'll never get justice.

Attelina · 16/10/2024 23:18

Hated One Direction and couldn't stand him, Harry Styles or Zane but that's a horrible way to die and only 31 years of age with a young child.

SabreIsMyFave · 16/10/2024 23:18

It does seem like he was very troubled, and had a lot of inner demons and fought with addiction to prescription drugs and alcohol. Poor bloke. Sad Just goes to show that fame and money doesn't guarantee happiness.

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.

I have just played 'what makes you beautiful'. I went to an all girls secondary, and this song was sung all the way to school camp on the bus. I was devastated when my mum told me she couldnt afford tickets for a 1D concert.

I also feel incredibly sad for Louis, he lost his sister to suicide I believe (and his mum to cancer). What a difficult few years its been for him.

FFS that is not the important thing here. Some would say she has since he's now dead.

I just read this, people don’t just suddenly fall off balconies. Tragic whatever the circumstances, he was so young.

Sorry I was replying to an earlier message and didn't quote it

itwasnevermine · 16/10/2024 23:19

@BirthdayRainbow so a man can get away with abuse just like that?

I think it's very important. I feel for his son and his ex.

What did she say that he did?

I read reports before and it seemed that what he did was fairly minor.

That he kept texting her after she told him to stop.

Was there something else

It's all over the internet.

Coerced her into having an abortion aged 18 and left her to deal with it alone whilst he went out partying.

Well if he's dead he's not really got away with it has he? If he has died by suicide and if it was because of the situation with his ex.

That could be 40 feet up. And it doesn't seem like it was 'instant.'

@ToBeOrNotToBee no need for that disgraceful language. Other people have been through this too and don't next hear it. Shame on you
