In a heartbreaking incident, former One Direction member Liam Payne passed away at age 31 following a fatal fall from a hotel in Buenos Aires.
The British singer, who rose to fame as part of the globally acclaimed band One Direction, was on holiday in Argentina with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, when the tragic accident occurred.
Payne was staying at a well-known hotel in the Argentinian capital when reports indicate he fell from a third-floor balcony, according to Mirror.co.uk.
Emergency services, including police, firefighters, and paramedics, responded swiftly to the scene, but the injuries he sustained were reported as “incompatible with life.”
Local authorities revealed that a body was discovered in the hotel’s internal courtyard, where Payne was found after the fall.
The circumstances surrounding his fall remain under investigation. According to reports, local authorities received a call from the hotel management around 5 p.m. local time about a guest displaying erratic behavior. Witnesses suggested that the individual was reportedly acting aggressively and may have been under the influence of alcohol or other substances, though further confirmation is pending.
An official from Buenos Aires’s emergency response service SAME provided a statement to TN news: “At 17:04, we received a distress call through the 911 system regarding a person found in the internal courtyard of a hotel.
A SAME team arrived promptly at 17:11, verifying the unfortunate death of this individual, later confirmed to be the singer from a well-known musical group.”
