But with a friend who’s had too much to drink it depends how bad they were. If they were clearly stumbling and falling then you’d put them in their room and then leave them. You wouldn’t expect them to climb on a balcony.

As sad as it is, Liam is responsible for his own death. He chose to take drugs and get on the balcony.

Well yes technically but the sad thing is if someone cared enough he might be alive, obviously if someone chokes on their own vomit after too much to drink they are responsible for their own death but if someone cared enough to keep an eye on them a life could have been saved, also we dont know what the relationship was with this guy, if he was paid to look after Liam there must be some culpability because he was **** as his job

As for drug dealers well yes they peddle death

Not unless he was legally classed as a vulnerable adult, and even then, if the responsible person in question isn't a healthcare professional, whether or not they have any "real" responsibility is dubious at best.

Bottom line is, he was an adult with full capacity to act with autonomy, so while they could follow him and keep an eye on him in public, if he went into his room and said that he didn't want anyone to come in with him, there's not much anyone could realistically have done.

That said

I reckon his staff (and from the sounds of it, hotel staff) were providing/facilitating access to drugs etc. so that's another matter.
