Liam Payne, a former member of the popular boyband One Direction, was tragically killed in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Wednesday. He was only 31 years old. The news of his sudden death came as a shock to his loved ones and fans, who have been pouring in tributes in his memory.
Liam had been in Buenos Aires for a few weeks, where he had reunited with his former bandmate and friend, Niall Horan. The two had shot to fame together in 2014 on the X Factor. Liam was staying at the Casa Sur Hotel and was enjoying his time in the city before the unfortunate incident.
He leaves behind his 7-year-old son, Bear, whom he shared with his ex-girlfriend, Cheryl Cole, as well as his parents, Geoff and Karen Payne, and his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. The police are currently investigating his death, and an autopsy is expected to be carried out in the coming days.
As we try to come to terms with this tragedy, let us take a look at the events leading up to Liam's death and his final days. His last social media posts, which were shared less than an hour before the news of his passing broke, have been particularly heartbreaking for his fans.
In these posts, Liam shared throwback images with his girlfriend, Kate, as well as pictures of his breakfast at the hotel. He also joked around with his followers, talking about his Halloween costume and how he and Niall were getting up at 1pm every day. He seemed positive and happy before his untimely death.
In fact, Liam and Niall had reunited just two weeks prior to this tragedy, when Niall had a show in Buenos Aires. Liam had posted about being excited to see his friend perform and shared a picture of them together afterward. However, some fans criticized him for singing along to songs during the show and called him an "attention seeker."
In the days leading up to his death, Liam had also been dealing with some legal issues with his ex-fiancee, Maya Henry. She had issued a cease and desist and accused him of constantly contacting her through different iCloud accounts. A source close to Liam revealed that he was overwhelmed by all the legal troubles he was facing.
On the day of his death, the hotel staff had become concerned about Liam's behavior and called 911 for assistance. The call was made at 5:04 pm, and just seven minutes later, at 5:11 pm, Liam was pronounced dead after the police and emergency services arrived.
Details about what happened in Liam's hotel room are still unclear, but in the 911 call, the manager expressed concerns about the star breaking things in the room. They also mentioned that Liam was drunk and under the influence of drugs. It is unclear if he fell or jumped from the balcony of his room.
