According to a report by TMZ, earlier that day, Liam had been seen acting erratically in the hotel lobby, smashing his laptop and eventually needing assistance to return to his room. Tragically, these troubling events were followed by his fatal fall.

Liam's body was transferred to a local morgue for a post-mortem examination. Unconfirmed photos have since circulated online, claiming to show his hotel room in disarray, including a broken television.
