Liam Payne died after falling three floors from a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was 31. Alberto Crescenti, head of the state emergency medical system, said that he fell into a courtyard at Casa Sur Hotel. The National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office confirmed to People that an autopsy revealed 25 injuries were “compatible with those caused by a fall from a height”. They noted that “the head injuries were sufficient to cause death”, along with internal and external haemorrhages in various parts of his body including “the skull, thorax, abdomen and limbs”. According to La Nación, hotel staff had previously contacted the police regarding an “aggressive man who may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”
Born in Wolverhampton, England, Liam Payne first gained attention as a contestant on The X Factor in 2008 but was eliminated. He returned two years later, joining Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik to form One Direction, which finished third on the show and was subsequently signed to Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment. During their active years from 2010 to 2016, One Direction became one of the most successful boy bands in history, selling over 70 million records globally.
