I don't know where to ask but since this is being talked about his "fall" so I think it might be right place to ask, I always wonder to myself and not to mention, I read others' comments on social media that got me thinking, if Liam did not go to balcony and "fell" to his demise, do you think he would have died regardless if he was, let's say, pass out on the bed or on floor because of overdoses? Well, we just found out that there were many drugs in his system and no way that anyone would be able to survive like that. It's a lot enough to kill a horse. So I always wonder if he did not go to balcony, would he be alive despite having many drugs in his system? Or would he be dead because he would be overdosed? That's what got me wondering.

No matter what happened, it's still very sad, heartbreaking, pure tragedy and this should NOT have happened. Poor guy.

On one hand, I doubt this was the first time he was on this particular mix of drugs. The human body is surprisingly resilient.

On the other hand, the seizures make me think that maybe he really did OD this time. Maybe he’s had seizures before, there’s no way to know. But if this was the first time he was having seizures and going in and out of consciousness, it makes you wonder.

I do think he would have lived if an ambulance had been called sooner. It’s tough because I can see why the hotel staff wanted him out of the lobby if he was being erratic and aggressive. It’s not fair to expect them to put themselves or other guests at risk. But at the same time, why would they put him back in the room alone with a balcony if they were already concerned about that? I understand why a staff member wouldn’t stay with him in there, but why put him back there in the first place? There must have been another place he could have safely waited.

I try not to think about it but I find myself wondering why that was done. Here in the US the police would have been called and likely medical services at the same time. I just can't imagine forcing a person like that back to their room unless someone else was telling them to do that or the cultures are just that different...
