911 Call Made Just Before Liam Payne's Fall

Hotel staff made two urgent calls to emergency services just before singer Liam Payne tragically fell from a balcony in Argentina. In the first call, a person identified as the chief receptionist reported that a guest was "high on drugs and alcohol" and was "trashing the entire room." However, the call was abruptly cut off.

During the second call, the receptionist reiterated the need for immediate assistance, expressing concern that the guest's life "may be in danger" due to the presence of a balcony. The call handler asked for details, and the receptionist emphasized the urgency, stating that they required help quickly.

Emergency medical services and local authorities were dispatched to the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, where Payne was staying. Unfortunately, he fell from the balcony shortly after the officers arrived.

The following is a translated transcript of the calls obtained by the BBC:
