“At 17.11 a SAME team arrived and verified the death of this man and later we found out that he was a singer in a musical group. Unfortunately, he had injuries that were incompatible with life, as a result of his fall, so we had to confirm his death, there was no possibility of resuscitation.”

Liam enjoyed huge success as part of One Direction – but he previously admitted to struggling with drink and drugs, acknowledging that his lifestyle became a “cause for concern” at one point in time.
The ‘Strip That Down’ hitmaker – who starred in the band alongside Niall, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik – told the BBC: “When I was younger, I went straight in on the whisky. I tend to pick my poison early, then I stick with it until it bores me.”
Liam confessed to suffering some “very dark years”, despite his fame and success.
