Tragic news has struck the music industry as the former One Direction heartthrob, Liam Payne, has passed away at the young age of 31 while in Argentina. According to local authorities, the singer tragically fell from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room on Wednesday evening.
Details are still emerging, but here's what we know so far. Reports state that Payne plunged to his death from the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, where he was staying during his time in the capital city. Pablo Policicchio, a spokesperson for the Security Ministry, confirmed to the Associated Press that Payne "had thrown himself from the balcony of his room."
It's been reported by local newspapers, La Nacion and Clarin, that the police were called to the hotel after receiving reports of an "aggressive man who may have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol." Witnesses also claimed to have seen Payne acting erratically in the hotel lobby and had to be escorted back to his room after smashing a laptop, according to TMZ. Sadly, Payne was found in an interior hotel patio by authorities.
The head of local emergency services, Alberto Crescenti, spoke to the Buenos Aires Times about the tragedy and stated that there was no chance for emergency personnel to save Payne's life. He also added that the singer had sustained "very serious injuries" from the fall, including a fracture at the base of his skull.
It's believed that Payne fell from a height of 13 to 14 meters, causing his untimely death. The question on everyone's mind is why was Payne in Argentina? Well, it seems that he was enjoying a holiday in the beautiful city of Buenos Aires, staying at the luxurious CasaSur Hotel in the affluent neighborhood of Palermo. Earlier this month, he even attended a concert for his former bandmate, Niall Horan, in the same city.
Sources have revealed that Payne and his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, arrived in Argentina on September 30, with Cassidy leaving the country on October 14. In the hours leading up to his death, Payne was active on social media, posting updates on his holiday adventures on Snapchat. In one video, he can be heard saying, "It's a lovely day here in Argentina."
