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

I feared something would happen to him as he’s been troubled.

No you didn’t, you just love the thought of being able to say that on a thread about his death 🙄

ThatsNotMyTeen · 16/10/2024 23:22

Terrible news

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

I don't know. You never know what actually goes on. As with amber heard and johnny depp.

A couple of things maya henry has said, have sounded nasty to me.

DollopOfFun · 16/10/2024 23:24

I don't think I've seen anything in the 'news' about him since he did that weird red carpet interview, talking in an American accent- that's if I'm thinking of the right Wandie (shout out to the X Factor thread OG's).

It's very sad. I can only think that his family will ultimately wish he'd never auditioned for the programme. You can see how that fame and madness can really fuck up some of the ones who are 'successful'. 31 really is no fucking age.

nunsflipflop · 16/10/2024 23:24

Another one taken far too young

Fizbosshoes · 16/10/2024 23:25

Unbelievably sad for his family and friends.
There have been various negative stories about him in recent years, and I think he's struggled with MH issues. I think its actually really hard for lots of young stars when they have to deal with an immense level of fame (and all that comes with it) almost overnight at a really young age.

What was going on with his recent ex. I know she was talking very badly about him publicly

"She was talking very badly about him"?
You mean, she was talking about his abusive behaviour. Women who are brave enough to talk about abuse they suffer at the hands of men aren't "speaking very badly about them".

Let's not start blaming her.

Aah this is very sad news.

I say some pretty nasty stuff about my abusive ex too. And that's okay.

TeaMistress · 16/10/2024 23:26

Awful way to die I'm sorry for his family and loved ones. He had appeared troubled for a long while with mental health problems and alcohol / substance abuse. Utterly disgusting that the gutter press apparently have published graphic images of his body.

PerfectYear321 · 16/10/2024 23:26

I forgot he had a child with Cheryl Cole. This is tragic

VerbenaGirl · 16/10/2024 23:26

HowcanIhelp123 · 16/10/2024 23:07

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.

Edited

It is madness. The world is such a strange place now.

Sadly she's already getting death threats

Scutterbug · 16/10/2024 23:27

Wow. So sad. Also not the time to be discussing his previous relationship imo. The media will do enough of a job of that in the coming days.

FlatWhiteExtraHot · 16/10/2024 23:27

Fuck me, the irony of people describing the pictures on TMZ and then moaning about the press being vultures 🙄.

Yes I saw that she said

"Liam talks shit about his band mates behind their back, then he goes to support their concerts because he wants to take the attention away from them"

Just because she says he is abusive doesn't mean that he is. As we have seen with Amber heard and Jonny Depp

Twistybranch · 16/10/2024 23:28

It could be a tragic accident.

He had been behaving erratic and had to be carried to his room according to reports. Perhaps he thought he could escape his security by jumping onto the restaurant deck to get away.

3rd floor seems low for instant death

40 metres. Head first.

Dita73 · 16/10/2024 23:28

Poor lad and his poor family. Totally devastating

MrsRobinsonsHandprints · 16/10/2024 23:29

I feel sorry for all of 1D. They were far too young to be exposed to so much.
Those that were in a position of power abused it.

Very sad

For god's sake, there is no need for that.

I’ve reported it, really unnecessary

Mrsdoyler · 16/10/2024 23:29

Poor wee Bear

Breatheincalmbreatheouttension · 16/10/2024 23:30

Haven’t read it be full thread, but that’s very sad, he has a young child.

There's a video on 'X' shared by someone in the hotel showing the patio area where he must have fallen with patio umbrellas covering the scene and people all around.

There are also photos of his apparent hotel room with drugs all over and a smashed TV inside.

Not sure if the hotel ones are legit but if they are he must have been in a very messy state.

So incredibly sad 😓

Seems as though the hotel ones are being verified now as well since the interiors with the drugs all over match the interiors of the hotel on Google and review sites.

I won't share a link to the drug room posts, but I'm curious as to what all the foil and mess is in the photos. I've never done drugs so am a bit ignorant to it all, but it looked like a lot of stuff

Fuck me, the irony of people describing the pictures on TMZ and then moaning about the press being vultures 🙄.

The TMZ headline originally had nothing stating they had photos. It just said exclusive details about Liams death, you scrolled the article and the images popped up. It was a total shock. no warning.

They have only now put a graphic warning message and blurred the pictures. You would have to click on it to now see it, but previously they were in the article, without any warning there would be disturbing photos.

I think it’s fair to warn others about what’s on there
