The Quaxs911 call made before the death of Liam Payne has been released.

The former One Direction singer died outside a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, local police confirmed Wednesday, after falling from his third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur hotel. He was 31.

In a 911 call obtained by Reuters on Thursday, the hotel's reception head can be heard, in Spanish, calling for medical assistance for "a guest who is intoxicated by drugs and alcohol."

At the times when the guest had been "conscious," he was "breaking the whole room," the hotel staff member also says on the 911 call.

The operator then confirms the hotel's location before the staff member adds: "We need you to send someone urgently because, well, I don't know if the guest's life is at risk. He has a room with a balcony. And, well, we are a little afraid that he will do something that will put his life at risk."

The hotel manager said Payne had been staying at the hotel "two or three days."

In a statement on Wednesday, the Argentinian capital police said they were called to the hotel in the capital's Palermo neighborhood where they were notified of an "aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol."
