He walked out 48 hours into his 28-day Addiction Therapy Programme — devastating close family and friends
But he walked out 48 hours into his 28-day Addiction Therapy Programme — devastating close family and friends.
Liam, 31, died after falling from his hotel balcony in Argentina on Wednesday.
A source said: “He gave it a go at overcoming his addictions once and for all. He really wanted to get his life on track.
“All his loved ones were rooting for him.
“There was dismay when he managed just 48 hours of treatment.
“He bravely sought help but couldn’t stay the course.”
Troubled Liam told aides he wanted to beat his addictions for himself, son Bear, seven, and his family.
He signed up to the £5,000-a-night centre in South West London and started a strict detox programme.
But sources said the star hardly left his room and did not attend classes with others seeking help.
He began taking chlordiazepoxide, a sedative used to treat symptoms of withdrawing from alcohol and drugs.
But the treatment proved too much and he checked himself out of rehab.
A source said: “Family and management did everything they could.
“Liam was loved, adored and incredibly talented.
“But he just couldn’t beat his demons.

“It got so bad that last year management begged him not to drive, it was dangerous.
“Loved ones hid his keys but he just bought another car.
“There is some solace in his loved ones knowing he was aware how much everyone was rooting for him.
“He confronted his issues head-on, hoping to get back on track.”
