Liam Payne, eyewitness of fatal balcony fall, haunted by gruesome images

Liam PayneThe man’s fatal fall was witnessed by a hotel guest who was at CasaSur Palermo in Buenos Aires for his wedding, and he is haunted by what he saw.

Bret Watson sat with his wedding planner in a room on the first floor of the hotel, and when they looked out the window they saw Liam in freefall. Bret appears in our new documentary, “TMZ Presents: Liam Payne: Who’s to Blame?” airs tonight at 8pm ET on FOX and begins streaming on Hulu on Tuesday.

Bret and the wedding planner ran to the balcony and looked down… and immediately identified Liam, who he said died instantly.

Bret says the sound of Liam’s body hitting the ground was even more terrifying than the fall itself, and the interview reveals he’s still having some pretty serious emotional issues.

Bret and the wedding guests saw Liam throughout the day and noticed him becoming increasingly drunk and erratic as the hours passed. Bret saw the last encounter the hotel staff had with Liam, when they carried him by the arms and legs from the lobby to his room, where they left him alone. A short time later, Liam fell from the balcony.

Bret’s story is vastly different from that of Liam’s good friend Roger Noreswhom prosecutors want to accuse of neglect. Norwegians insists When he left Liam for the final time an hour before the fall, the singer was in good spirits and only a little tipsy.

According to official documents obtained by TMZ, the timeline shows Liam was on the hunt for cocaine early in the day … even while texting Nores, he needed 6 grams.

Braian Paiz, a waiter whom prosecutors want to accuse of supplying drugs to Liam, tells us he visited Liam twice during his stay, each time drinking whiskey and doing cocainewhich Paiz supplied. He insists Liam didn’t pay him for the drugs.
