Liam Payne's psychiatrist warned singer of fatal risks before his tragic death in Buenos Aires
Liam Payne died aged just 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina - and the signer has been issued a chilling warning before his tragic death
Liam Payne's doctor had issued him a chilling warning before his tragic death. The former One Direction star tragically passed away in October at the age of 31 while on holiday in Buenos Aires with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy.
Liam fell from the third floor of a hotel, and an autopsy revealed that he died instantly from "multiple traumatic injuries" leading to "internal and external haemorrhage."
However, officials in Argentina are still uncertain about the events leading up to Liam's heartbreaking death. On Tuesday, it was revealed that local law enforcement is investigating five people, including two workers at Liam's hotel.

New reports suggest that Liam's neuropsychiatrist had sent a note to his friend Roger Nores stating she could no longer treat the star. The note, sent just weeks before Liam's death, warned that mixing alcohol with antidepressants could have fatal consequences.
This email came to light after Liam's father, Geoff Payne, contacted the Argentinian courts about the note, reports the Mirror.
The NHS website advises those on antidepressants to be "wary" of consuming alcohol, stating that it is a "depressant" and could exacerbate symptoms. "You're less likely to experience unpleasant or unpredictable effects if you drink alcohol while taking an SSRI or a serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressant, but avoiding alcohol is often still recommended," it says.
On the other hand, antidepressants such as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Just months before Liam's tragic passing, he bravely checked into rehab in an attempt to conquer his addictions.
The global superstar had been candid about his struggles and had confided in former Top Gear host, Paddy McGuinness, about his addictions. It was previously reported that the Teardrops singer had enrolled at the £5,000 (€6,068) a night The Priory in London and had begun a detox programme.
"Family and management did everything they could, Liam was loved, adored and incredibly talented," an insider told The Sun. They further revealed that despite everyone "rooting for him," he "couldn't beat his demons". "He confronted his issues head-on, hoping to get back on track," they added.
Following his tragic passing, initial reports suggested that traces of pink cocaine were found in his system. However, the UK Addiction Treatment Centres clarified that despite its name, pink cocaine does not contain any actual cocaine.
Instead, it is a concoction of several substances including MDMA, ketamine and 2C-B, typically distributed as a powder or pill. Yet, on November 7, a press release from the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office revealed that the singer's toxicology results, shared with his family, showed traces of "alcohol, cocaine and prescription antidepressants" in his system.
The statement read: "This conclusion was reached after the complete toxicology tests on urine, blood and vitreous humour."
In a recent development, two more individuals are under investigation by law enforcement and are expected to be interviewed via Zoom in the coming days. Local news outlet Infobae did not specify what criminal charges the hotel employees could face if there is sufficient evidence to formally accuse them.
Last week, local reports indicated that prosecutors were contemplating manslaughter charges against the hotel staff seen carrying Liam out of the lobby shortly before his drink and drug-fuelled balcony fall.
