someone working at the hotel earned a lot of money for releasing these clips to TMZ

[Henry-cfoo]

That looks like someone that needed medical assistance than anything.

[IDGAS-whatever]

he needed an ambulance!!! the hotel did it ALL WRONG!! when u see someone in need, you provide help not isolation!!!! I said it since one witness said he passed out!!!

[LetsWatchTV]

I mean if they carried him to his room basically passed out, how did he fall over the balcony minutes later?

[gracelynch]

I’m shocked that no one reported this or called for help seeing this.. if I saw someone being handled like that I’d worry.

[lalat]

I have never heard of hotel staff having the legal right to carry you anywhere. Wtaf. Why wouldnt they call an ambulance, and emergency contact. This is bizarre.

[TofferJ-UK]

Bad judgement call, they should have just called an ambulance first and take it from there. ☹️

[shadowboxer]

The guy is completely unconscious. He needed to go to HOSPITAL. wtf is wrong with people.

[Beebee-mnvw]

Omg his poor parents having to see this, and his son when older, just no need 😢

[butterflyja]

from the day Liam has passed away, they make a different story about his death every day. aren't they trying to hide the fact that hotel killed Liam in a way...

[butterflyja]

If they carry him such disrespectful in front of cameras, what could they have done behind close doors? did not they beat him to death? That hotel killed him.

[saratoussaint]

Well now TMZ are saying Liam climbed over the balcony and fell off backwards...lord knows how he manages to do that when less than ten minutes earlier he was supposedly so out of it he had to be carried to his room.

Someone is lying.

[AliKhan-yxdy]

This hotel should be shut down
Why are these videos and pictures being released to public
Respect the parents who have lost a son
Late Liam Payne

[Diane]

i don't think they should even be showing those pics to the world just no need of it

[victoriagonzales]

Carrying him like that shows much disrespect and the hotel employees smile while doing it, perverse!

[MrsDeadChannel]

No they did him so wrong, he clearly needed help and they just isolated him away like he was a nuisance. RIP Liam, i hope youre at peace now 🙏

[liou]

They m*rdered him and stole his rolex. It is all pretty clear to me.

[SuperVonny]

Poor lad, as a mum of three grown men I’m truly heartbroken for his parents, it’s unthinkable 😢

[tiffanystarbeck]

They should have called the police, not take him upstairs! He would still be alive today! Makes me livid!

[MsKenzo]

He needed paramedics and hospitalisation not taking back to his room.
