The star died after a fall at the hotel he was staying in from the balcony of CasaSur Hotel in Buenos Aires on October 16.
Now claims have emerged that he may have been trying to escape from the third floor room moments before tragedy struck.
According to reports, during his time in the hugely successful boy band the 31-year-old did not like being stuck in hotel rooms.
Following his death, an investigation was launched into what exactly had happened to the popstar in the hours leading to the discovery of his body.
Traces of alcohol, cocaine and a prescription antidepressant were found in his system, according to a toxicology report and three people are currently under investigation for his death.
His private funeral was held last week at St Mary’s Church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, near his home and attended by his family and closest celebrity friends.
Former One Direction bandmates and music mogul Simon Cowell, Liam's former partner Cheryl Tweedy, the mother of his son, and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, who had been travelling with the popstar in Argentina in the days leading up to his death, were also at the funeral.
A petition set up by a fan in the wake of the star's death calling for new legislation to safeguard the mental health of artists in the entertainment industry has now been signed by more than 150,000 people.
