The publication adds that 'Argentine press reported on what they said was the emergency call from a hotel manager reporting a guest "on drugs and destroying the room". The manager at the time reportedly told the operator the guest "has a balcony, and we are afraid they might do something to put their life at risk."'

Last week,  Liam's One Direction colleagues shared a heartwarming tribute to their deceased band member. 

"We're completely devastated by the news of Liam's passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother who we loved dearly," they wrote in a statement shared on Instagram. 

"The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friend and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam. Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry," reads the statement. 

Ex Danielle Peazer's message

Liam's ex Danielle Peazer, who is a dancer and model, shared a special tribute to her late lover. 

"At times, you were my favourite person in the whole world, but you could also wind me up so much and I probably annoyed the hell out of you sometimes too," she wrote on Instagram. 

"It was something we learned to accept of each other over 14 years, we could disagree on so many things yet still look out for each other in times of need and laugh about our disagreements and petty behaviour 10 mins later," she wrote. 

“His most important role and something he was the most proud of out of all of his monumental successes was that he was a father,” Peazer said. 

“The thought that there is now a child growing up without one of their parents is heartbreaking and unfair. To Liam’s son Bear, as well as his parents and sisters, my love, thoughts and strength goes to you. The magnitude of this loss is incomprehensible and I will continue to support you in any way I am able to,” she wrote.
