Liam Payne's cause of death has been revealed just hours after the former One Direction singer plunged to his death from a third-floor hotel balcony.
RadarOnline.com can reveal that the singer was acting "erratic" in the lobby and hotel workers begged authorities to send help as they feared "his life was at risk" just moments before the star "fractured his skull."
Following the tragic incident, Payne's family posted heart-wrenching tributes to the young father.
Liam Payne stood on the edge of a building years before falling to his death.
Payne, 31, died instantly from multiple injuries after he fell 45 feet from his $300-a-night hotel balcony in Argentina.
The head of the Buenos Aires emergency services revealed that the former One Direction member had a "cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death."
He added: "Our role was to head there quickly, give medical attention, and try to resuscitate him, but his injuries were incompatible with life."
According to local outlets, an autopsy showed the singer died from “multiple traumas” that caused “internal and external bleeding.”
Payne died after falling off a balcony at a hotel in Argentina.
In the eerie 911 call, the hotel employee feared for the "aggressive man" and said: "Hello, good afternoon. I called just now but the line went dead. I'm calling from the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
"We have a guest who is off his head on drugs and alcohol. And well, when he is conscious he is destroying everything in the room. And well, we need you to send someone, please."
The responder asked: "Under the effects of alcohol and drugs, did you say sir?"
The employee confirmed the information before stating: "We need you to send someone urgently because, well, I don't know if the guest's life is in danger.
"They must be in a room that has a balcony. And well, we're a little bit worried he'll do something, that he'll put his life at risk."
Payne is the father of one son named Bear with ex Cheryl Cole.
After his death, pictures from inside Payne's hotel room show a smashed TV screen, screwed-up burnt aluminum foil in a bathtub, white powder, and other drug paraphernalia scattered over a surface.
According to local media, the father-of-one had to be carried back into his room.
Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy left the city just two days prior to his death.
