The officers said that the drug โcauses users to experience extreme highs and extreme lows, often making them aggressive.โ They added that Liamโs โerratic” behaviour before he dies could be partly a result of this drug and have caused him hallucinations which might have caused him to jump off the third story of his hotel room at CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
Sources revealed to Page Six that the Get Low singer was struggling with โsignificantโ drug addiction before he was dropped by his label, Universal and subsequently by his London-based publicist. He also spent 100 days in a rehab facility but executives at the music label were not โcomfortableโ. An industry insider said, โLiam was battling a very significant drug addiction and his treatment, as those who knew him will attest, was not working.โ

A hotel guest told the Daily Mail that she saw the singer smashing his laptop he was triggered by an infuriating email he saw on his device. She allegedly had an interaction where the guest reminisced, โI went over, asked, โAre you OK?โ But he just kind of grunted. Then he said, โI used to be in a boy band. Thatโs why Iโm so f**ked up.โ
Another guest reported that they saw Liam arguing with an unnamed woman regarding some money matter. Michael Fleischmann, the guest who stayed at the same hotel said that Payne told her, โIโll give you $20,000 just because I can. I have $55 million and I like to help people,โ as reported by Page Six. Fleischmann also added that the singer appeared โvery upset, agitated, a little wild, walking around and pacing, and seemed very energized.โ
