"TMZ is trying to get clicks and ad money off of a young man's dead body just minutes after the news of his death," wrote BBC journalist Shayan Sardarizadeh. "Imagine being a member of Liam Payne's family and seeing this."
TMZ obtained a photo showing Liam's body on a wooden deck at the hotel with tables and chairs nearby. We're not showing the whole body, but you can clearly see his tattoos - a clock on his left forearm, and a scorpion on his abdomen.
Singer Alessia Cara succinctly added, "You're gross @TMZ." As outrage spread across social media, many condemned the publication for their lack of respect.
In comparison to the photo of Payne's body, the 911 call provides the context of the manager requesting help out of concern for a guest who was "intoxicated on alcohol and drugs" and "breaking everything" in his room.
