    Jesus loves you all ✝️, get to know God through Christ πŸ“–

  2. I just woke up and watched this😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

  3. we shouldn't speculate… but nobody seems to be considering the obvious to me from what we know. he'd just had the police called on him.
    hes on drugs, leaked pictures apparently from his room show drugs in his hotel room… hes been escorted back to his room and the police have been called on him.

    so now hes stuck in his hotel room, which is full of drugs, with drugs in his system, and the police are on their way. and the only way out is over the balcony.

    ive seen pictures of the balcony, its not that high, 3rd floor. if I had a few drugs in me id probably look over there and think yeah I can land this.

    nobody seems to be considering he was trying to flee the scene and escape the police as he had drugs in his hotel room and drugs in his system. and hes thought he could jump off the balcony to the decking below and run away.

    the police didn't arrive because there was a dead body… they arrived because they were called on Liam because he was been aggressive and erratic in the lobby. was only when they got there that the body was discovered.

    like I say we shouldn't speculate, but if we are… then this pretty obvious possibility is being left out of the conversation. he's discussed mental health issues in the past so people are always gonna cling onto that and say its that. but he seemed alright in the days leading up to this, he always behaves weird anyway, but he seemed alright in the clips and vids ive seen that he posted and have been posted of him leading up to this.

  4. As a 14 year old! Liam and 1 Direction was a huge part of my childhood, I listened to their music daily and were an inspiration to many people including me! RIP Liam

  5. I’m not a fan but have always loved their music and I am genuinely shocked and upset at such a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family friends and loved ones – rest in peace.

  6. I just woke up and saw this. I'm lost for words. Like for many women my age one direction was my whole teenage years. This is so sad. Can't imagine what his son and the rest of his bandmates or feeling

  7. Something fishy going on here. He was being bullied by the media a couple days ago. They tried to paint him like they did Diddy. Nah I’m emotional he was going through it
