Former One Direction member, Liam Payne has tragically died after falling from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
It was gathered that the 31-year-old singer was found outside the hotel on Wednesday evening, October 16.
A statement from Argentine police said they were called to the hotel, located in the Palermo district, after receiving reports of a man acting aggressively, possibly under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The hotel manager reported hearing a loud noise from the back of the building. When authorities arrived, they discovered that a man had fallen from his balcony.
Emergency responders confirmed the man, later identified as Liam Payne, had died after being found in the hotel’s interior courtyard.
Alberto Crescenti, the head of Buenos Aires Emergency Medical Services (SAME), told ABC News that emergency teams responded to the scene at 5:11 p.m., seven minutes after receiving the call.
Crescenti said Payne fell approximately 42 to 45 feet, suffering injuries that were “incompatible with life.”
Liam Payne, who had been staying at the CasaSur hotel, had recently been in Argentina to attend a concert by his former bandmate, Niall Horan.
He had just celebrated his 31st birthday in the UK before traveling to Buenos Aires.
Payne, originally from Wolverhampton, West Midlands, rose to fame as a member of the British boyband One Direction, which formed in 2010 on the UK version of “The X Factor.” The band also included Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Horan.
Representatives for Payne and his former bandmates have yet to comment on the incident.
