Jesus Christ. Sometimes the answer is simple. Addiction. Fame. Mental health. And a lot of unsavoury allegations. Something tells me worse allegations will be made in the coming weeks. Netherless no one is born bad, he was so young and had plenty of time to sort himself out for himself and his son. May he rest in peace

Someone developing an addiction to drugs or alcohol doesn’t make them a bad person, some of the nicest people you meet can be battling those addictions but the addictions can lead someone to do very bad things and they can become a very selfish person and when you have an addiction it’s your responsibility to get better and overcome it because otherwise it’ll affect you and everyone around you lives and that’s not fair. People can be there for support every step of the way and offer you all different options of help but at the end of the day it’s up to the person with the addiction to want to help themselves.

It’s very sad Liam was battling with addictions and his mental health I hate to hear of anybody having those battles because it’s heartbreaking and it’s a shame he wasn’t able to get the help he needed or wasn’t willing to receive that help because his family including his son are all going to be affected by his loss for the rest of their lives but addictions can take over someone’s life to the point they don’t think about how it affects anyone else because they’re in their own world with their addiction. I understand what people are saying about being mad at him for not getting the help he needed that frustration towards him is completely understandable because him seemingly not putting in enough work to get better not just for his sake but for his son and his other family members is a shame. He was so young and it’s sad he wasn’t able/willing to get better so he could still be here.

I think he just was so caught up in wanting fame that it took over everything and everyone else in his life that should of mattered to him more than fame and attention . Sometimes addictions or any mental illness anyone is battling with can be so hard to break free from and it’s sad how many people there are battling addictions who are in denial that they need help or not willing to get help. I just hope Liam can rest in peace now and I pray for his family because I feel so sorry for all of them not only because he’s died but also having someone in your life who’s an addict can be one of the hardest , saddest and most frustrating things to see someone self destruct themselves and there’s only so much you can say or do to help because it’s up to the addict to take action to help themselves and get better. I don’t know yet if it was suicide or a tragic accident that happened in the moment of him being on drugs and alcohol but it’s all very sad no matter what.

Yes absolutely. I work with addicts and have known and loved them. They often are the way they are because the world is too much for them. If he was on something like crack c for instance that can literally change your very essence and personality. However being an addict does not mitigate abuse. As I said there's no conspiracy here. Just a very sad tragic ending.

When I was a massive fan of one direction years ago I remember the name Lou Teasdale, but I have no idea what her association to them was. I just remember what she used to look like and I just looked her up on Instagram and I was shocked to see how different she looks now

I’ll be honest. For the last little while, ever since Maya started spilling the tea on her time with Liam, I had a feeling that something bad would happen to Liam, or that he would do/say something terrible.

And yet, in my wildest speculations, death never made it on the list. I was thinking something like an overdose, more sexual harassment allegations would surface, and maybe even a very public lawsuit for those allegations. But certainly, not death. Never in a million years.

I am sad for his family. His son who now will grow up with a father. His mother and father who now has to bury their son. His sisters who lost a brother much too soon. I am also sad for his friends. I am sad for the future that he could’ve had. Call me naive but I had hope he’d hit rock bottom and climb his way up again. A redemption arc, if you will.

I work in healthcare, and know the absolute demon that is addiction. Relapse is very common in the path to recovery, and it seems like Liam struggled to stay sober and clean after his stint in rehab. Alas, Liam was not able to get the help he needed or he wasn’t receptive to the help he got. Or maybe he didn’t want the help.

The situation is just very sad. As much as I criticized him, I did want him to find his footing, and be successful.

RIP Liam.

She was their make up artist I believe.

I was a vocal, “older” 1d fan (35 now) when they were huge and I’ve followed them all with interest ever since. I’ve had the worst feeling about Liam in recent weeks, with his erratic behaviour and the online commentary about him… I’m absolutely not saying that from a place of superiority as I fully indulged in consuming that content and laughing at it with friends etc. We can all be so guilty of watching celebrities’ lives like it’s entertainment and I don’t know what the solution is- it’s just sad. When I heard the news last night I had family round and I had to excuse myself because I couldn’t believe what I was reading somehow. What an awful, horrible way to go, whatever the circumstances. And I just cannot imagine how all those who loved him are feeling, especially his son.

By all all accounts he was a complex and deeply flawed human being, but beloved by many, and I think someone not suited for the fame and fortune he received at such a young age. Rest in peace, Liam.

Read a tweet about how wrong it is that Simon cowell has outlived a member of 1d. Honestly turned my stomach those poor boys.

I also feel sad for the rest of the 1D boys. Regardless of Liam’s spiral, he was an important part of their lives. They might not be the best of friends, but they’ll always share a bond.

Louis seemed to be the closest to Liam; I hope he’s okay.

I don’t know if the 1D boys will post about Liam’s death. I don’t know if it’s better if they do or if they don’t.

She was their hair and makeup artist for years, think she also trained Louis' sister Lottie.

Heartbreaking, all around. I'll he honest, when I saw all the news alerts tagging "Liam Payne" as I was leaving work, my first thought was an arrest or something, not that he'd died. Poor Bear.

Horrendous. I haven’t been the biggest fan of him in recent years and especially after all of the tit that has come out in recent months, but those 5 boys were my entire childhood/teenage years and I genuinely cannot believe one of them is now gone. Praying for his poor son, his family, Maya and the other 4 boys … particularly Louis who seems to know nothing but loss in recent years 😕

Never in a million years did I think a one direction member would die while I was still so young, almost felt like they would live forever.

This is really awful to hear. He was clearly not in a good place personally, mentally, career wise etc. Obviously had a lot of demons, and allegations relating to his relationships and so on and drug use etc.

But this is the most awful way to die, just heartbreaking, for his family etc.

Just thought about how awful this must be for Louis, who sadly lost Fizzy to drugs and has dealt with a lot of grief with losing some of the closest people to him, to now losing Liam too.
I thought this too. He will likely think he should have intervened more. I think a lot of us saw this as a potential thing to happen, but dared not think it. I can’t help thinking of that talented young man at his X Factor audition; fresh faced, serious and very good. So incredibly sad. Maybe more allegations were also coming up, as we’ve all seen rumblings. Clearly he had a serious addiction too.

Hotel workers are saying he had an argument in the lobby because they wouldn't let him into the pool. He went upto his room and destroyed it before attempting to jump into the pool from his room on the third floor

TMZ are absolutely disgusting. I hope none of his family saw that and the whole picture is deleted. Worryingly I feel like that will eventually end up on the internet.

I hope Louis has the wisdom and courage to know that Liam’s death isn’t on his shoulders. But it does seem like Louis has been dealt with nothing but loss, with Liam adding to the list.

I never saw Liam’s death coming, although in hindsight, it was a very obvious and logical conclusion to arrive to in light of Liam’s struggles. I’ve always thought he had to hit absolute rock bottom for him to want to turn his life around, but never would I imagine him dying.

I’ve seen that Maya allegedly had lawyered up and had sent a cease-and-desist letter to Liam regarding the stalking. I’m willing to bet that she had plans to sue him further.

The other 1D boys will undoubtedly be dragged into the limelight in relation to Liam’s death. I’m sad and frustrated about that.

He must have been off his head then, to put it bluntly. Daily fail show pictures of the hotel/pool. No way, if the above is true, he would have believed he could have made that jump if he was sober. Harrowing to think about tbh

Oh same for me, like shocked me to my core but now I’ve had time I’m not as shocked as I initially was. All those clips that are going viral were not from a sober happy person. It’s sad that he didn’t get the help he so desperately needed.

I expected this at some point but just not so soon which I think is why I’m shocked. I’m sure it was discussed on one of these threads once that we could see it ending this way but I can’t find where. I remember at the time Matthew Perry passed that I could see Liam’s fate being the same.

Surely the pic of his room can’t be real? No one would have that?
Sadly , they could.
Police / hotel staff / press etc in different countries are very different to the UK
It’s absolutely possible that these are the pics from his hotel room.
