Liam Payne witness describes seeing tragic star’s final moments after picturing him in lobby: ‘It just didn’t seem real’
A HOTEL guest has described seeing Liam Payne's tragic final moments before his fatal fall from a balcony in Argentina.
Brett Watson, from Chicago, was also staying at the Casa Sur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires and claims he had "multiple encounters" with the ex-One Direction star, even taking a picture of him in the lobby.
Watson, 34, said he remembered the moments following Liam's tragic fall on Wednesday afternoon.
When asked what was going through his mind, Watson told ITV News: “It didn't seem real.
"You almost had to pinch yourself to understand and process what you were seeing, but it just was an out-of-body experience, surreal.”
The American guest had earlier in the day taken a picture of the singer in the hotel lobby.
He is shown in it reclining on a sofa and using his laptop to view emails.
Watson went on to say how he and others saw Liam "causing a disturbance" minutes before he died.
He told ITV Liam appeared to "pass out" in the lobby before he "had to be physically taken back up to his room".
He said: “So we're here with a couple of other guests in the hotel and we were in the lobby just waiting for some people to arrive and that's when we had multiple encounters with Liam.
"Multiple times [Liam] had come down to the lobby, was causing a disturbance, kept being escorted back up to his room."
