Officers said the drug “causes users to experience extreme highs and lows, often making them aggressive.” They added that Liam’s “erratic” behavior before he died may have been partly a result of the drug and led to hallucinations which may have caused him to jump from the third floor of his hotel room to the Hotel CasaSur Palermo.

Sources revealed to Page Six that the Get Low singer was struggling with a “significant” drug addiction before he was dropped by his label, Universal, and subsequently by his London publicist. He also spent 100 days in a rehab facility, but music label executives weren’t “comfortable.” An industry insider said: “Liam was battling a very serious drug addiction and his treatment, as those who knew him will testify, was not working.”

Alleged reports of Liam’s behavior before his death

A hotel guest told the Daily Mail he saw the singer smash his laptop and was prompted by an angry email he saw on his device. He allegedly had an interaction where the guest recalled, “I went over there and I asked him, ‘Are you okay?’ But he just growled. Then he said, “I used to be in a boy band. That’s why I’m so screwed.”

Another guest reported seeing Liam arguing with an unnamed woman about money. Michael Fleischmann, the guest who stayed at the same hotel, said Payne told him, “I’ll give you $20,000 just because I can. I have $55 million and I like to help people,” Page Six reports. Fleischmann also added that the singer seemed “very upset, agitated, a little wild, pacing and pacing, and he seemed very energized.”
