A person on Threads wondered: “Why is Liam’s face blurred out? Why is the guy at the back smiling? Is that Liam’s watch? If Liam is unconscious then how is his head held up?”
A separate individual chimed in: “Liam’s parents and police should hold those people responsible for Liam’s death. Why would they not call an ambulance for him?”
A still image from the video, which was released by The Daily Mail on Sunday (November 24), showed the timestamp at 4:54:58 p.m.” 13 minutes before Liam plummeted to his death.

The singer acted erratically in the lobby for about an hour, The Mail reported. Moreover, an eyewitness had previously told the British tabloid that Liam was “convulsing” on the lobby floor before he passed out and had to be physically taken back to his room.
Another still image from the CCTV footage has the timestamp 4:54:37 p.m. and showed the three men were already with the singer outside of his room 11 seconds before they were at the lobby, We Got This Covered reported on Sunday.
A hotel guest reportedly noted it takes at least 90 seconds to get from the lobby to the third floor, suggesting one of the CCTV timestamps was inaccurate.

Another eyewitness reported that the 31-year-old repeatedly went in and out of his room, causing a disturbance that prompted the hotel manager to intervene.
While it’s unclear if the manager is one of the men seen in the footage, he called 911 at the time to report damage in Liam’s room and to express concern because the room had a balcony.
At 5:11 p.m., paramedics reportedly arrived to find the music star in the hotel’s inner courtyard, having fallen 40 meters to his death; authorities later confirmed he was semi-conscious when he fell and had drugs in his system.

The eerie footage has reportedly left grieving girlfriend Kate significantly upset and wondering whether her late boyfriend’s death could’ve been prevented if help had been provided sooner.
A source close to Kate told The New York Post on Saturday (November 23), “Whenever it seems it can’t get more painful for Kate, it gets even more painful.
“He could have been saved, he could have been helped. It’s devastating” and infuriating.

Boredpanda.It's disgusting using this footage for likes and engagement on you increasingly sensationalist celebrity-obsessed site. Do better and take this down.
It's not the hotel staff's job to prevent you from taking d***s and falling off a balcony. People have no accountability for their own actions anymore. I used to take all the party d***s I could get my hands on, my friends and I knew the risks going into it and never blamed others when the night got out of hand. Grow up and learn to handle your sh*t.
I have 7 years experience in hotel clinic. Have many occasion where guest make problem or had problem due to d**g usage.. I had one guest that do sui**** in her room. In hotel we could not put guest in constant care like hospital. His family or fiancée should have know his problem and take action.
